The Super Bowl has for years aired on one of the following major networks: CBS, ABC, NBC and FOX.
Next year, it'll air on ESPN.
In the future, could we get a Super Bowl broadcast on a streaming platform, like Amazon Prime? It sounds like it. Amazon Prime is planning to host a Super Bowl broadcast in the relatively near future.
Jay Marine, Amazon’s head of Prime Video U.S., global sports & advertising, is planning on broadcasting a Super Bowl, he told The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand this week.
“For us, our ambition has always been to broadcast the absolute best, the pinnacle of live sports,” Marine said. “We never thought we wouldn’t do that in the fullness of time.”
“In the fullness of time, I absolutely expect that will happen,” Marine said of a Super Bowl on Prime Video. “Our desire is for that to happen in the fullness of time.”
But when would that be?
Marine, who is 52, is planning to do it in his lifetime.
“I think it’s pretty self-explanatory,” he said. “How about: I’m still walking on this earth. How about that?”

NFL fans are already annoyed, though.
With regular season games and playoff contests moving to streaming platforms, the Super Bowl will soon be next.
NFL fans are dreading it
"Dooooooooon’t do it," one fan wrote.
"This is the 'dispensation of the fulness of times' (Ephesians 1:10 KJV) so this is to fulfill biblical prophecy," one fan added.
"Another streaming move...can't wait," one fan said sarcastically.
"Gross," one fan added.
Will you be tuning into a Super Bowl broadcast if you had to watch it on a streaming platform?
