Fans across Africa are in for a blockbuster sporting spectacle as ESPN, the home of American sports, gears up to broadcast NFL Super Bowl LX live across the continent. The championship showdown airs in the early hours of Monday, 9 February 2026 at 01:00 CAT, with viewers able to watch live on ESPN, ESPN2, and Disney+ in South Africa.
This year’s Super Bowl sees two NFL powerhouses collide, with the New England Patriots taking on the Seattle Seahawks in a high-stakes battle for the iconic Vince Lombardi Trophy. Both teams boast rich Super Bowl legacies, setting the stage for an intense clash defined by tactical brilliance, explosive plays and elite athleticism under the brightest lights in American sport.
Beyond the on-field action, the Super Bowl experience wouldn’t be complete without its world-famous halftime show. During the live broadcast, global superstar and Grammy winner Bad Bunny will headline the halftime performance, bringing his signature Latin rhythms and electrifying stage presence to one of the biggest entertainment moments of the year.
For fans unable to tune in live, ESPN will offer multiple repeat broadcasts later that day, with airings scheduled for 08:00 on ESPN2, 11:00 on ESPN, and 15:00 on ESPN2. A dedicated 55-minute highlights package will also air during the week, capturing all the game’s defining moments.
