The Super Bowl is consistently the most-watched event of the year in the United States but has gained huge popularity worldwide as well. If you happen to be traveling abroad during the big game make sure not to miss it!

No matter what country you are traveling in, especially if you are in a big city, chances are there will be a showing at a bar or restaurant. While it might not be your traditional Super Bowl party with friends and family, it is a great way to see the game while experiencing other cultures.

In the U.S. kickoff starts at the comfortable time of 6:30 PM (3:30 PM west coast time), but in countries around the world, game time is at all odd hours. In Europe, it will start at 11:30 PM or 12:30 AM making it hard to get to work early Monday morning if you stay up for the whole game. In Australia, kickoff is at 8:30 AM and some bars have started an “early bird breakfast” where there are discounts on early food and drinks to attract more people!

No matter where you are in the world or what time the game starts, the Super Bowl is a great time to experience other food and cultures while meeting other sports fans from around the world.
