- at-fates-hands 10y agoFrom last year: Super Bowl 2016: How Many Countries Will Watch Carolina Panthers vs. Denver Broncos?: http://www.ibtimes.com/super-bowl-2016-how-many-countries-will-watch-carolina-panthers-vs-denver-broncos-2296360 http://www.ibtimes.com/super-bowl-2016-how-many-countries-wi... Though the Super Bowl lacks the global reach of the World Cup, it still has a growing audience outside the United States. More than 170 countries and territories around the world will have the opportunity to view a live broadcast of the NFL's championship game between the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos at 6:30 p.m. ET.
- ashwinaj 10y agoBradcasting vs viewership is different (Aussie rules football is broadcasted in many countries in Asia too). The Superbowl used to be broadcasted in India when I was there (prior to 2005). Firstly it was at 2-3 am in the morning, nobody knows the rules and there are ads every 2 mins. I highly doubt anyone cares about American Football even today in India at least.
- k-mcgrady 10y agoAs at-fates-hands showed it is. In the UK it's on the BBC from about 10mins before the coin toss. We get US commentary but during your ad breaks it cuts to our presenter/pundit team which includes Osi Umenyiora. We also have a weekly NFL roundup show on the BBC and Sky (paid TV) shows live games during the season. There's also Game Pass where you pay something like £150 a year to stream all games live (although they blackout the ones shown on Sky) and on demand which also gives condensed and highlights version of the games.
