The NFL will partner up with CBS and Nickelodeon this year to air a special kid-friendly broadcast of the Wild Card round matchup between the Saints and Bears. The game is scheduled for Sunday, January 10 at 4:30 p.m. ET. Noah Eagle of Sirius XM will join CBS commentator and GMFB host Nate Burleson and Nick Star Gabrielle Nevaeh Green to call the game.
Leading up to the game, Nick will air a special Spongebob Squarepants pre-game show hosted by Broncos star LB Von Miller. The program will feature some of the best sports moments throughout the SpongeBob SquarePants series, which has been on the air since 1999. In one of the show’s more famous episodes, “Band Geeks,” Squidward starts a band, invited to headline the halftime show of the “Bubble Bowl.” Clips from this episode were aired in a special short ahead of Super Bowl LII.
If you’ve been looking for the perfect opportunity to educate your children on all things football, you can check out NFL Nick Play ahead of the broadcast. There, you can find easy-to-understand, colorful and kid-friendly breakdowns of the game of football, including a printable family-style “Pick Em” sheet for some friendly competition with the kids.
SpongeBob, Slime, and Googly Eyes, @NFLonCBS and @Nickelodeon will present the NFL like you’ve NEVER seen it before on Wild Card Weekend.
