Super Bowl on FOX
FOX TV Super Bowl coverage — the broadcast cycle, explained
FOX rotates the Super Bowl with CBS and NBC every three years. Here’s when FOX gets the game next + how SDZ covers FOX in its lineup.
TL;DR: FOX broadcasts the Super Bowl every three years as part of the NFL’s rotating broadcast deal with CBS, FOX, and NBC. When FOX has the game, FOX Sports’ broadcast crew calls it — typically Joe Buck, Greg Olsen, Tom Rinaldi, and the FOX studio team. Pre-game coverage starts hours before the 6:30pm ET kickoff. Slam Dunk Zone includes FOX in its $39.95/mo channel lineup, so on FOX’s Super Bowl years you can watch the entire broadcast — pre-game through halftime through the trophy ceremony — for $39.95/mo flat. 5,000+ channels total, 6 devices.
When does FOX have the Super Bowl?
FOX is part of the three-network broadcast rotation (alongside CBS and NBC) defined in the NFL’s current TV deals. Each network gets one Super Bowl every three years on a fixed cycle. FOX last had the Super Bowl in February 2023 (Super Bowl LVII). Their next contracted Super Bowl years follow the rotation pattern from there.
When FOX has the game, the broadcast originates from FOX Sports — Joe Buck on play-by-play (or whichever lead announcer is contracted that year), the FOX studio team for pre/post-game, and FOX’s standard NFL graphics package. Halftime show is produced by the league, not the network, so it’s the same regardless of broadcaster.

What’s different about FOX’s Super Bowl broadcast
Each broadcaster’s Super Bowl coverage has its own production identity. FOX’s pre-game runs longer and leans into the analyst panel format; CBS leans into the game-day veteran-broadcaster vibe; NBC has the Football Night in America branding. Halftime is league-controlled and identical across broadcasters.
