In addition to the pre-game festivities, the broadcast will feature a half-time sneak peek at the new series Kamp Koral: SpongeBob’s Under Years following a 10-year-old SpongeBob and pals at summer camp which will debut on ViacomCBS’ rebranded streaming service Paramount+ in 2021.
“This is a first of its kind presentation for the NFL together with Nickelodeon, and we are very excited to create a unique telecast that will maximize the co-viewing appeal for kids and families, while maintaining the integrity of the game and its traditions,” said Sean McManus, Chairman, CBS Sports in a statement. “Partnering with Nickelodeon to showcase the NFL Playoffs is a great opportunity to highlight the power, depth and reach of ViacomCBS, as we continue to unlock the true potential of our merged company with the first of many opportunities between CBS Sports and our ViacomCBS family.”
