Where to watch the Super Bowl in Singapore
The annual football event of the year is back. No, we are not talking about the English Premier League but what some consider to be practically an American holiday: Super Bowl Sunday. It is Super Bowl’s 50th anniversary this 2016 (also known as Super Bowl 50) – and the showdown is between the Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos.
Due to the time difference, Super Bowl 50 will be televised in Singapore on 8 February 2016 (Monday) in the morning (7am-11am). We recommend you swap the usual games-night beers and wings for coffee and eggs at these spots that will be opening extra early to screen the NFL Super Bowl live:
