Normally Fox, CBS, and NBC rotate the broadcasting rights to the Super Bowl meaning that each channel gets the big game every three years. According to this system, the 2022 Super Bowl should have actually been televised on CBS.

But, a few years ago, NBC and CBS made a swap deal. They traded the 2021 and 2022 Super Bowls with each other, meaning that CBS actually broadcasted the NFL’s most important game twice in three years (2019 and 2021).

For CBS, the swap meant that they got a competition-free Super Bowl last year, as opposed to having to worry about competing with the Winter Olympics in 2022.

Since NBCUniversal owns Peacock, the Super Bowl will be shown on the platform. For cable subscribers, the game will be available on the NBC Sports app and website.

Moreover, the Super Bowl will be streamed for free on the Yahoo Sports app, and users of any streaming service which carries NBC, for example FuboTV and YouTube TV, can also watch the game.
