Sky Sports will be showing the game live on both Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Action on Sunday night. The coverage will start at 10pm - slightly earlier than ITV - allowing for a longer build up.

When does the Super Bowl kick-off?

The game between Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles is due to kick-off at 11.30pm UK time. So you may want to factor in a nap before the game - or stock up on coffee - if you are planning on staying up.
