Super Bowl LIV: FOX Sports Unveils Production Plans in Miami
FOX Sports hits the beach for its ninth Super Bowl presentation, offering more than 100 hours of programming on FOX, FS1 and FOX Deportes live from its sprawling South Beach studio location leading up to Super Bowl LIV. On Super Bowl Sunday, FOX televises more than seven hours of pregame programming from three separate locations – at South Beach, as well as inside and outside Hard Rock Stadium. FOX NFL KICKOFF returns to the Super Bowl for the second time in show history with a 1:00 PM ET special, FOX SUPER BOWL KICKOFF, followed by FOX SUPER BOWL PREGAME SHOW, a four-and-a-half-hour edition of FOX NFL SUNDAY at 2:00 PM ET, leading into the biggest game of the year at 6:30 PM ET.
“The Super Bowl is an event that brings America together, and we look forward to doing just that with our presentation of Super Bowl LIV in Miami,” says Brad Zager, FOX Sports Executive Producer, Executive Vice President Production/Head of Operations. “Hundreds of men and women throughout the company have been working tirelessly on this production, and we can’t wait to get to Miami to show off their efforts, including our state-of-the-art South Beach studio compound.”
FOX Sports’ South Beach location represents the network’s largest footprint ever for a Super Bowl. The compound includes two separate stages and a large demonstration field that will be utilized throughout the week by the brand’s full complement of weekday studio shows and Sunday programs. Located just steps away from sand and surf, the FOX Sports compound is situated on Ocean Drive at Lummus Park, featuring more than 50 square meters of LED walls and 25 cameras, including a moveable two-point Flycam, which brings the viewing audience from the ocean to the set and back again.
FOX Sports lead NFL play-by-play announcer Joe Buck calls Super Bowl LIV alongside Hall of Famer Troy Aikman on Sunday, Feb. 2, beginning at 6:30 PM ET on FOX. The pair call their sixth Super Bowl together – the most for any active broadcasting duo. Erin Andrews and Chris Myers report live from the field, with Mike Pereira and Dean Blandino weighing in as rules analysts.
FOX programming on Super Bowl Sunday kicks off at 11:00 AM ET with SKIP & SHANNON: UNDISPUTED SUPER BOWL SPECIAL followed by NFL Films’ ROAD TO THE SUPER BOWL at 12:00 PM ET. At 1:00 PM ET, FOX SUPER BOWL KICKOFF takes center stage, followed by FOX SUPER BOWL PREGAME SHOW at 2:00 PM ET. FOX SUPER BOWL PREGAME SHOW originates from FOX Sports’ massive installation on South Beach before heading north and broadcasting live from outside Hard Rock Stadium at Game Day Fan Plaza. Just before kickoff, the show moves inside the stadium for final analysis and predictions. FOX NFL SUNDAY is America’s most-watched NFL pregame show for the last 26 years and the only NFL pregame show comprised entirely of Pro Football Hall of Fame analysts.
