How you can watch the 2024 Super Bowl on TV in Spain

The 2024 Super Bowl, one of the world’s most watched yearly sporting events, will take place at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Sunday February 11th.

However, given the time difference between the US and Spain, it will kick off at 00.30 Madrid time on Monday February 12th, half an hour after midnight.

The NFL grand finale will see the Kansas City Chiefs go up against the San Francisco 49ers, with Usher and Post Malone set to perform in the Halftime Show.

So where can you tune into the 2024 Super Bowl if you’re in Spain?

Movistar+, Spain’s most popular phone, internet and TV platform, is broadcasting the match to all its customers on Channel 7 (#Vamos). 

If you have another service provider, Movistar+ currently offers you the opportunity to switch over immediately without installation for €14 a month. 

Keep in mind that this will include the Spanish commentary of Rubén Ibeas, Moi and Javi López.

DAZN will also broadcast the match, although it will be necessary to have purchased the NFL Pass for this, which is not included in Movistar+’s basic subscription.

Alternatively, you may want to consider getting a VPN to stream international channels that are airing the final, in the US for example. The paid VPNs are more reliable and offer faster streaming than the free options.

Although American football and the NFL is becoming increasingly popular in Spain, the late time at which the Super Bowl will be broadcast in Spain means that you may struggle to find regular Spanish bars that show it as most will be closed. 

Your best bet are Irish pubs and sports bars in big cities or tourist hotspots which stay open until late on Sunday. The following is a list of establishments which may show the Super Bowl and which you can contact to confirm.

World Cup winner Del Bosque to watch over Spain’s scandal-hit federation

Former Spain coach Vicente del Bosque will lead the committee overseeing the country's trouble-ridden football federation, the Spanish government said Tuesday.

World Cup winner Del Bosque to watch over Spain's scandal-hit federation

The retired 73-year-old led La Roja to the 2010 World Cup and 2012 European Championship titles, as well as taking Real Madrid to two Champions League triumphs.

“I’m proud to announce that the person presiding over the committee and representing it… is Vicente del Bosque,” said Pilar Alegría, the minister for Education and Sports.

“Del Bosque will be the face and representation of Spanish football.”

Last week Spain’s National Sports Council (CSD) created a committee to “oversee” the federation (RFEF) and try to pull it out of crisis.

Former president Luis Rubiales resigned in disgrace after forcibly kissing Women’s World Cup star Jenni Hermoso last year, while he and new president Pedro Rocha are under investigation in a graft probe.

“I believe that (Del Bosque) is the clearest representation of a good person of great human quality and, above all, an example of honesty and respect,” added Alegría.

The RFEF took decisions “beyond its remit” after Rubiales stepped down in December according to a report from the country’s leading sports court, resulting in the CSD creating the committee.

World and European football governing bodies FIFA and UEFA subsequently issued a statement expressing “great concern” at the situation around the RFEF.

“FIFA and UEFA will seek additional information to assess the extent to which the CSD’s appointment (of the committee) … may affect the RFEF’s obligation to manage its affairs independently and without undue government interference,” they said.

Spain is due to host the 2030 World Cup along with Portugal and Morocco.

The court report on the RFEF interim committee overstepping its bounds also raised the possibility the CSD may provisionally suspend Rocha, who was elected as Rubiales’ replacement on Friday, and other RFEF directors.

A CSD meeting Tuesday over potential punishments for these alleged infringements was put on hold after the sports court asked for more documentation, CSD sources told AFP.

The sources said the CSD plans to meet again in the coming days.

One decision allegedly beyond the remit of the RFEF was the renewal of current Spain coach Luis de la Fuente’s contract in February.
