Super Bowl airs this Sunday, but since you’re looking for something to watch instead of the “big game,” we’ll spare you the specifics.
All you really need to know is this: The game will take over at 6:30 p.m. and is expected to wrap up around 10 p.m. The halftime show, featuring headliner Maroon 5 and Travis Scott and Big Boi, may air around 8 p.m., should you want to temporarily flip the channel over to CBS.
For the rest of the evening, consider kicking back on the couch with a spread of Buffalo wings, chili and nachos and turn Super Bowl Sunday into your own personal marathon binge-fest.
Other “Bowls”:
“Puppy Bowl XV”
Pups (and some special seniors) from more than 50 animal shelters across the United States, Costa Rica and Puerto Rico have come together to show off their gameday skills. As usual, the players are split between Team Ruff and Team Fluff. Their adoption stories will help pad out the game with a little emotion. The games air from 3 to 5 p.m. on Animal Planet.
“Kitten Bowl VI”
Adoptable kitties with some serious skill will try their best to make it into the end zone without getting distracted by catnip and kibble. This year’s teams are the Last Hope Lions and the Little Longtails. Kickoff is at 2 p.m. on the Hallmark Channel.
“Cat Bowl”
Why should the kittens be the only ones enjoying Super Bowl Sunday? The first-ever “Cat Bowl” brings out the no-nonsense players that are sure to have some serious cattitude. The games begin at 4 p.m. on the Hallmark Channel.
