The NFL on Nickelodeon is the branding used for broadcasts of National Football League (NFL) games that are produced by CBS Sports,[8] and broadcast on the American pay television channel Nickelodeon. In 2021, Nickelodeon hosted a one-time simulcast[9][10][11][12] in coordination with CBS[13][14] of the Chicago Bears–New Orleans Saints Wild Card game.[15] This marked the first time that a major live sporting event would be broadcast on the channel.[16][17] Following positive reception from media and fans, Nickelodeon announced that the simulcast would return for a Wild Card game during the 2021–22 NFL playoffs between the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys. In May 2022, Nickelodeon announced that the simulcast would return for a Christmas game during the 2022 NFL season between the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Rams.[18] In May 2023, Nickelodeon announced that the simulcast would return for a second consecutive Christmas game during the 2023 NFL season between the Las Vegas Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs.[19]

In August 2023, CBS announced that it will carry Super Bowl LVIII on Nickelodeon in the same format, marking the second time that a Super Bowl game will feature an alternate broadcast, after Super Bowl I.[20]

In December 2019, Viacom re-merged with CBS Corporation to form ViacomCBS.[21][16][17] To capitalize on the re-merger, CBS announced plans to add content from Nickelodeon to its CBS All Access streaming service.[22][23] Additionally, the National Football League announced that Nickelodeon[24] would air a youth-specific broadcast[25] of an early 2021 Wild Card playoff game that CBS Sports acquired the rights to, marking the first major live sporting event on the channel.[26] The idea for Nickelodeon to televise an NFL game was that of CBS Sports' chairman Sean McManus. McManus brought the idea up to the league, which was looking to reach younger and diverse audiences.[27] While the network has aired sports-related programming in the past (such as its athletics game show Nickelodeon Guts,[28] and its Kids' Choice Sports awards), this marked the first live sporting event to ever be televised by Nickelodeon.[29]

McManus explained that the production planned to "respect the integrity of the game", but that there would be features "to make it look and feel very, very different than a CBS broadcast, which it should. I think it's really going to be fun."[27] Coordinating producer Shawn Robbins described the broadcast as being a "Nick-ified", "co-viewing" experience for parents and children, and that it would still "look somewhat the same", as they did not want to "mess with your football and put stuff on if that's going to take away from the viewing experience."[30] The broadcast had the inclusion of Nickelodeon cartoon branding as well as commentary from Nick stars Gabrielle Green[31] and Lex Lumpkin.[32] Emphasis was placed on educating viewers of the rules of football; this included appearances by Sheldon Cooper (as played by Iain Armitage on CBS sitcom Young Sheldon) to explain penalties.[33] Robbins told The New York Times that Green was accidentally sent an 800-page package of game notes that was intended for Tony Romo.[33]

CBS Sports' ad sales team handled the ad sales for both telecasts.[34] While a majority of the advertisements for the Bears-Saints game would be the same across both the CBS and Nickelodeon broadcasts, Nickelodeon aired some different ads more that were tailored to its younger audience, excluding ads for alcohol and sports betting apps.

First live telecast (January 10, 2021)

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

Further information: 2020–21 NFL playoffs § NFC: New Orleans Saints 21, Chicago Bears 9

Nickelodeon's first live NFL game aired on January 10, 2021, as a special youth-specific presentation of the 2021 Wild Card playoff game between the New Orleans Saints and Chicago Bears.

Tie-ins

During the week leading up to the game, Madden NFL 21's "The Yard" mode was updated with SpongeBob SquarePants themed content, including a Bikini Bottom-themed "reef-top" stadium, and SpongeBob-themed modifiers.[35] Immediately prior to the game, Nickelodeon aired a sports-themed SpongeBob clip show, The SpongeBob SportsPants Countdown Special, which was hosted by Burleson.

Nickelodeon in correlation with the National Football League, also launched a website with sports betting-like elements[36] such as free-to-play games and risk-free gambling. More specifically, users of the site would get the chance to pick who would win the game, which would in return, compare to the public pick. The user could receive points that could be exchanged for prizes and rewards. The NFL Nick Play website also featured the ability to collect SpongeBob SquarePants and The Loud House-themed content via QR codes.[37]

Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller was originally supposed to host The SpongeBob SportsPants Countdown Special instead of Nate Burleson, but was not present. It was later revealed on January 15, that Miller was under an unknown criminal investigation in Colorado.[38] A preview of the then-new SpongeBob SquarePants spin-off series, Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years, was also aired at halftime.[39][40][41]

Broadcast incidents

Referee Alex Kemp's open microphone caught Chicago Bears wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson saying "What the fuck?" in reaction to a penalty[42] for unsportsmanlike conduct after he voluntarily ran out of bounds during a punt. Patterson later claimed he did not utter the expletive.[43] At the time, Kemp mistakenly called the penalty on #85, tight end Cole Kmet, instead of Patterson who was #84.

Despite his team's loss and completing only 19 passes for 199 yards, Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky won the online voting for the NVP, or Nickelodeon Valuable Player, award with 49% of the votes after podcast host Dan Katz had led an online campaign with the Twitter hashtag #Mitch4NVP, encouraging viewers to submit multiple votes for Trubisky.[44] He received a trophy, adorned with the Nickelodeon blimp.[45] Chicago defensive end Akiem Hicks and New Orleans defensive end Cameron Jordan finished second and third in voting, respectively.[46]

After volunteering to do so, Saints head coach Sean Payton was slimed after his team's 21–9 victory.[47] A communication disconnect prevented Cameron Jordan from joining Payton in the sliming like sideline reporter Lex Lumpkin tried to do.[48]

Background

On March 18, 2021, Richard Deitsch of The Athletic asked[49] Sean McManus about the future of Nickelodeon-style NFL games. McManus said that there's a section in the new CBS deal[50] regarding alternate telecasts[51] such as the Nick game, but not weekly. On September 1, 2021, it was announced that the Wild Card simulcast would return[52] for the 2021 NFL season.[53] On December 16, 2021, Nickelodeon announced[54] that Noah Eagle,[55][56] Nate Burleson, and Gabrielle Nevaeh Green[57][58] would once again call the channel's NFL Wild Card playoff game telecast, which featured the eighth postseason meeting[59][60] between the San Francisco 49ers[61] and Dallas Cowboys.[62] It was also announced that Dylan Gilmer would replace Lex Lumpkin as the sideline reporter.[63]

Tie-ins

During the week leading up to the game, Rugrats and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles themed content was added alongside the SpongeBob content in Madden NFL 22's "The Yard" mode.[64] Two days prior to the game, Nickelodeon aired a sports-themed The Loud House clip show, The Loud House Super Sports Special. A new episode of The Loud House served as the game's lead-in, while a sneak peek of the then-new Nickelodeon series, Warped!, served as the lead-out. A preview of the then-new Paramount+ series, Big Nate, was also aired at halftime.[65]

Broadcast incidents

San Francisco tight end George Kittle was heard over an open microphone saying "fuck" late in the second quarter, repeating Cordarrelle Patterson's incident in the previous year's broadcast.[66]

Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott won the online fan voting for NVP, marking the second straight year that the losing team's quarterback received the game's most valuable player award after Chicago's Mitch Trubisky won the inaugural award in 2021.[67]

Coincidentally, referee Alex Kemp, who officiated the Bears-Saints Wild Card Game a year ago, was also the referee for this game.

Third live telecast (December 25, 2022)

On May 10, 2022, as part of the NFL's schedule release, it was announced that CBS, Fox, and NBC would carry a tripleheader on Christmas Day. CBS concurrently announced that Nickelodeon would carry an alternate broadcast of its game (billed as the Nickmas game) between the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Rams, marking its first regular-season broadcast.[68][69]

On December 6, 2022, Nickelodeon announced that Burleson, Eagle, and Green would return to call the telecast. It was also announced that Gilmer would return as sideline reporter and Patrick Star (voiced by Bill Fagerbakke) would offer live commentary during the game.[7]

Tie-ins

A preview of the then-new PAW Patrol spin-off series, Rubble & Crew, also aired at halftime.[7]

Fourth live telecast (December 25, 2023)

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

Background

On the morning of May 11, 2023, as part of the NFL's schedule release, CBS announced that a special Christmas Day game between the Las Vegas Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs would take place at 1 PM ET on CBS and Nickelodeon.[70] This was the second consecutive year that Nickelodeon aired a game with CBS on Christmas Day.[71][72]

On December 5, 2023, Nickelodeon announced that Burleson and Eagle would return to call the telecast. It was also announced that NFL Slimetime correspondent Dylan Schefter would return as sideline reporter and Donatello (voiced by Micah Abbey) and Raphael (voiced by Brady Noon) would offer live commentary during the game, replacing Green.[73][74]

Tie-ins

During the week leading up to the game, Nickmas-themed rewards were offered in four Gamefam games on Roblox. A preview of the new Nicktoon, Rock, Paper, Scissors, aired at halftime.[73]

Super Bowl LVIII telecast (February 11, 2024)

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

Further information: Super Bowl LVIII

Background

On August 1, 2023, CBS Sports announced that it will carry a simulcast of Super Bowl LVIII on Nickelodeon on February 11, 2024, in addition to the Nickmas game; this will mark the first time that an alternate broadcast will be produced for a Super Bowl game.[20][75][76]

Billed as Super Bowl LVIII: Live from Bikini Bottom, the broadcast will feature new augmented reality effects with a SpongeBob SquarePants theme.[77] Burleson and Eagle will return to call the telecast. It was also announced that Gilmer and Schefter would both return as sideline reporters and SpongeBob SquarePants (voiced by Tom Kenny), Sandy Cheeks (voiced by Carolyn Lawrence) and Larry the Lobster (voiced by Mr. Lawrence), in addition to Patrick (voiced by Fagerbakke), would offer live commentary during the game.[77] A 3D animated version of the "Sweet Victory" scene from the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Band Geeks" will also be featured during the broadcast.[77]

Most of the commercials from the main broadcast will be seen in the Nickelodeon broadcast as well, aside from those for products and services (such as alcohol, sports betting, and R-rated films) that are inappropriate for a youth audience. As substitutes, Paramount Global sold approximately 15 spots specific to the Nickelodeon broadcast, charging around $200,000 to $300,000 for a 30-second commercial (in comparison to $6.5 to $7 million for a commercial on the CBS broadcast). Paramount also offered brand integration with other surrounding programming and Nickelodeon personalities.[78][79]

The January 10, 2021 broadcast, between the Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints, featured All That cast members Gabrielle Nevaeh Green[80][81] and Lex Lumpkin joining Noah Eagle[82][83][84][85][86][87] (son of CBS announcer Ian Eagle[88][89] and a Los Angeles Clippers broadcaster[90]) and Nate Burleson[91][92] from The NFL Today on the announcing team.[93]

While Noah Eagle was tasked with describing the play-by-play action, and Nate Burleson was there to break down[94] the more complicated aspects of football into understandable terms,[95] 15 year old Gabrielle Nevaeh Green was there to offer insights[96] and asks questions as a stand-in for young viewers unfamiliar with the sport. During the January 10 telecast, the crew tried to explain[97] to viewers the play clock's importance, why third down plays are crucial, and the meaning of what a catch actually is.

For the January 16, 2022 broadcast, the booth stayed largely the same, however, Dylan Gilmer (of the Nickelodeon series Tyler Perry's Young Dylan) would replace Lumpkin as the sideline reporter.[63]

For the December 25, 2022 broadcast between the Los Angeles Rams and Denver Broncos from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, Dylan Schefter[98] (the daughter of ESPN reporter, Adam Schefter and contributor to Nickelodeon's NFL Slimetime[99]) served as the sideline reporter. Following the game, Schefter interviewed the game's Nickelodeon Valuable Player Award winner, Rams quarterback Baker Mayfield.[100] The Christmas Day 2022 telecast[101] also featured live commentary[102] by actor Bill Fagerbakke in character as Patrick Star[103] from SpongeBob SquarePants.

Digital on-screen graphics

Nickelodeon worked with the agency Elevation[104] to develop the branding and on-air look for the January 10, 2021 broadcast. A trial run[105] was conducted during the Philadelphia Eagles-Green Bay Packers game on December 6, 2020, to test the graphics, animation and filters.

Iain Armitage, in character as Sheldon Cooper from CBS' TV comedy series Young Sheldon[106] appeared over the scoring bug to explain to viewers the rules[107] such as a false start. A giant version of SpongeBob SquarePants[108] appeared between the crossbars during field goal attempts. SpongeBob SquarePants also appeared[109] in player stat graphics to include their "Favorite snack" and "Favorite classic Nick show". Meanwhile, analyst Nate Burleson called the red zone "the money zone", as he drew a dollar bill sign on the cartoon-like graphic.

Nickelodeon's broadcast as a whole, aimed to focus less on stats and more on fun facts about the players—such as a player's favorite flavor of ice cream[110] or even a "tale of the tape" between New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara and Alvin the Chipmunk.[111] Not only that, but Nickelodeon also put important team relationships in terms they feel their audience can understand such as Drew Brees and Taysom Hill of the New Orleans Saints and SpongeBob SquarePants[112] and Patrick Star. Nickelodeon even put up a graphic depicting Patrick Star "trolling"[113] Bears wide receiver Javon Wims after he dropped the ball that would've resulted in a wide-open touchdown. Speaking of Drew Brees, Nate Burleson on the January 10 broadcast compared him to being like the kid at recess[114] who never misses at dodgeball.[115]

For highlight reels, Nickelodeon implemented digital, comic strip-like animation[116] such as white smoke, green slime,[117] blue lightning, players were given superimposed googly eyes[118][119][120][121] and hamburger hats,[122][123] as well as a dancing Lincoln Loud[124] from The Loud House.

And whenever a player scored a touchdown, two augumented reality[125] green slime-cannons[126][127][128][129] set off on both sides of the endzone or the "slime zone"[130][131][132] as Nickelodeon dubbed it. Nickelodeon's broadcast also featured pixelated halftime highlights that were presented in an all block graphic[133] style similar to the video game Minecraft.[134][135]

Second live telecast (January 16, 2022)

For Nickelodeon's second live NFL telecast on January 16, 2022, the network introduced a real-time, augmented reality graphic of a giant slime monster,[136] which would periodically pop up behind the defense.

This particular graphic was created with the help from The Famous Group,[137] who also helped provide the graphic depicting SpongeBob SquarePants' face in the crossbar, and a graphic showing the orange Nickelodeon blimp sliming the field right before the kickoff. While there was a blimp graphic that briefly appeared during the 2021 playoff broadcast, this particular rendition not only cast lifelike shadows on the field, but also adjust to the time of day, and allow cameras to zoom in and out while it's in the camera's frame. The graphics were based on Epic Games' Unreal Engine.[138] This was in contrast to the usage of Adobe After Effects during the previous year's NFL playoff game on Nickelodeon.

Another subtle change is the SpongeBob SquarePants graphic between the crossbar now being able to more instantly react to the kick's result in real-time. And instead of the Minecraft-like "Blockie" characters used to simulate actual formations and routes, three-dimensional models based on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was used during highlights. Nickelodeon enlisted the services of Beyond Sports[139] to create the animation for said highlights. The "Slime Zone" graphics were also modified to allow for one of Nickelodeon's six dedicated cameras to zoom on one of the slime cannons following a touchdown.

This time around, Sonic the Hedgehog[140] and Tails from Sonic the Hedgehog 2 were also showcased on the broadcast alongside SpongeBob and the titular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from the 2012 TV series. When explaining to Nickelodeon's young viewers the significance of the rivalry between the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers, the broadcast used the rivalry between Mr. Krabs and Plankton[141] from SpongeBob SquarePants as an analogy.

The January 16, 2022 broadcast also featured a brief parody of ESPN's alternate Monday Night Football broadcasts featuring Peyton and Eli Manning. Nickelodeon's version of the "Manningcast" featured Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders[142] talking to SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star.

Third live telecast (December 25, 2022)

For Nickelodeon's third live NFL telecast on December 25, 2022, the network partnered with Silver Spoon for on-screen Christmas graphics, which included slime, snow, and presents being shot out of cannons, a Yeti, and Santa Claus running routes. The on-screen graphics have been updated to match those from the main broadcast on its sister channel, CBS, as part of the network's unified branding. The "TOUCHDOWN" graphic was entirely modified to include an illustration of the player's headshot, in the style of The Loud House, as well as the player's name and jersey number. The customary Nickelodeon graphics also returned, including cartoon characters being beamed on the field, and the Nick blimp flying over SoFi Stadium.[143] Former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski (dressing as an elf, who is also known as Robbie the Elf) appeared in an on-screen graphic to explain to viewers the rules, such as what a holding penalty is.[144]

Ratings

The January 10, 2021 broadcast on Nickelodeon drew approximately 2 million viewers.[145][146] This was a 245% increase from the previous year's time slot.[147] According to Nickelodeon, it was the most-watched program among total viewers in nearly four years.[148][149][150] Combined[151] with the roughly 30 million viewers who watched the Saints-Bears game on CBS,[152] then approximately 30.653 million viewers watched in total. This was the biggest audience that CBS received for a Sunday wild card playoff game since 2014.[153]

The January 16, 2022 broadcast on Nickelodeon drew approximately 1.3 million viewers.[154] Combined with the 40 million viewers who watched the 49ers-Cowboys game on CBS, then approximately 41.496 million viewers watched in total. This was the biggest audience that any television network received for a Sunday wild card playoff game since 2015. That figure was 35% up from the same window from the previous year. According to CBS Sports, it was the most-streamed non-Super Bowl NFL game ever on Paramount+.[155]

The December 25, 2022 broadcast on Nickelodeon drew approximately 900,000 viewers.[156] This was a 400% increase over the previous year's Christmas Day time slot, as well as the highest-rated Christmas Day telecast since 2016, with approximately 2.6 million viewers watching in full or in part.[157] Combined with the roughly 22 million who watched the Broncos-Rams game on CBS, then approximately 22.574 million viewers watched in total. Despite that figure being down from both the Christmas and equivalent Sunday windows the previous year, it was the largest Christmas audience for CBS.[158]

The December 25, 2023 broadcast on Nickelodeon drew approximately 900,000 viewers.[159] This was the most-watched early afternoon program on Christmas Day in ten years. Combined with the 28 million who watched the Raiders-Chiefs game on CBS, then approximately 29.171 million viewers watched in total, peaking at around 37.163 million. This was a 29% increase over the previous year's game. According to CBS Sports, this not only marked it as the largest Christmas Day audience for CBS, but also the biggest audience for an NFL Christmas Day game since 1989.[160]

Reception

According to a poll conducted by Morning Consult,[161] more than 70% of parents said they would watch a game like that with kids after showing them a one-minute clip of highlights to give them a sense of Nickelodeon's broadcast. Two-thirds said that Alphas would enjoy the Nickelodeon broadcast more than the traditional version on CBS.

Reaction on social media to Nickelodeon's telecast of the Chicago Bears-New Orleans Saints playoff game on January 11 was mostly positive,[162] with the non-targeted adult audience applauding the fun the network was having.[citation needed]

Phil Rosenthal of the Chicago Tribune wrote[163] that as an alternative to CBS' standard coverage with Jim Nantz and Tony Romo[164] on the call, Nickelodeon did a nice job helping educate youngsters about pro football and brighten a not-so-exciting playoff game between the Saints and Bears. As for the commentating crew, Rosenthal said that Nickelodeon stars Lex Lumpkin and Gabrielle Nevaeh Green were good company and sweetly genuine despite their scripted material being hit or miss. Meanwhile, Rosenthal praised the work of play-by-play announcer Noah Eagle and analyst Nate Burleson,[165] who according to Rosenthal, managed to keep things light all the while, explaining what was happening in the game and what it meant. Rosenthal also summarized that while the sheer novelty of Nickelodeon's animation and special effects faded, it never vanished and that it was overall, wonderfully goofy.

Former St. Louis Rams quarterback Kurt Warner wrote[166] on Twitter[167] that his 31-year-old son Zach, who suffered a traumatic brain injury at four months old and is legally blind, had never sat and watched a football game with him until Nickelodeon's broadcast of the Saints-Bears game on January 10.

Criticism

The announcement of Nickelodeon broadcasting its first-ever NFL game was not without skepticism and concern, especially in regards to how or if the network would confront the realities[168] of playing such a brutal sport and the risks of sustaining brain trauma for its young audience. During the January 12 broadcast, Christopher Nowinski, co-founder and CEO of the Concussion Legacy Foundation, co-founder of the Boston University CTE Center[169] said on Twitter "That'll get kids killed."[170] in reaction to analyst Nate Burleson comparing New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill hitting his head to scraping your knee[171] at recess.

Another concern was raised regarding whether or not Nickelodeon's website, NFL Nick Play, which created and targeted printable "pick'em sheets" for children to select winners of that week's NFL games, was appropriate.[172] Critics have argued[173] that something like this is ingraining betting habits at a young age. NFL Nick Play also includes little quizzes on the different positions in football, information on how those positions work, and how the game plays out.

Praveen Nair of the UCSD Guardian said that it was frustrating[174] that the Nickelodeon broadcast cut to the commentators for the couple minutes after Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller was ejected for punching Saints safety C. J. Gardner-Johnson in the face without explaining what was happening on the field.
