The Super Bowl is the single biggest betting event in American sports and attracts massive interest from Australian punters. Held annually in February, it’s one of the few NFL games that mainstream Australian sports fans engage with. Super Bowl odds, prop bets and novelty markets are available at all major Australian bookmakers.
For Australian viewers, the Super Bowl is broadcast live on ESPN via Kayo Sports, typically kicking off on a Monday morning AEST — making it a popular “sickie” day for Australian fans.
