What to Expect from the 2023 Super Bowl
Just like every year, the 2023 Super Bowl will likely reach a large audience who want to see an exciting matchup between the AFC and NFC champions. The 2022 Super Bowl saw the largest audience in five years, averaging 112.3 million viewers across linear television and 11.2 million viewers across streaming, a year-over-year increase of 15.9 million.
The Philadelphia Eagles will be playing in their fourth Super Bowl, whereas the Kansas City Chiefs will be appearing in their fifth. The Eagles have only won one Super Bowl, and the Chiefs have won three.
Plus, for the first time in NFL history, two brothers will play against each other in the Super Bowl– the Chiefs’ Travis Kelce and the Eagles’ Jason Kelce.
Fans can expect play-by-play commentary from announcer Kevin Burkhard. Former tight end Greg Olsen will be the analyst. Notably, this will be the first Super Bowl that both Burkhard and Olsen have worked together. Sideline reporters Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi will provide coverage as well. Mike Pereira, former NFL Vice President of Officiating, will be the rules analyst.
And, of course, there will be plenty of eyes on this year’s Super Bowl ads. Let’s just hope they’re less cringeworthy than last year’s crypto ads.
