No network owns the permanent rights to the Super Bowl. The big game is split between three -- and soon four -- different networks on a rotating basis, giving different broadcasters a chance to call America's premier sporting event.

The network that gets to host the Super Bowl doesn't just broadcast a football game. It also has the performances, commercials, and extended pregame coverage that draw in millions of additional viewers.

Here are the details about the Super Bowl 58 broadcast and how you can watch it.

Who is broadcasting the Super Bowl in 2024?

CBS is broadcasting Super Bowl 58 on Feb. 11, 2024, taking its turn in a rotation of three networks that will soon become four. NBC, CBS, and Fox alternate Super Bowl broadcasts, and ABC will join the rotation with Super Bowl 61 in February 2027.

Super Bowl 58 can also be streamed live on Paramount+.

CBS revealed some of its Super Bowl 58 broadcast plans on Feb. 2, giving insight into what the production will look like. CBS will have 165 cameras on hand, including "doink cameras" embedded in each goalpost. One more addition will be the "Red Cat cam," which offers an aerial view of the field from Allegiant Stadium's catwalks. The camera could give fans at home a clearer view of goal-line plays.

The network will have nearly 1,000 personnel in Las Vegas for the big game and is planning to have cameras all over the city for extended coverage of the scenes before and during the Super Bowl.

Despite being such a hot commodity, Super Bowl broadcasting rights are actually set all the way through the 2033 season. Fox is set to broadcast Super Bowl 59, while NBC will take its turn with Super Bowl 60 ahead of its 2026 Summer Olympics coverage.

Below is the list of Super Bowls that have been broadcast with the rotation set by the current TV agreement.

How much does it cost to broadcast the Super Bowl?

The NFL does not sell the rights to broadcast the Super Bowl individually, so the cost is covered under what each of the networks pay for general NFL broadcasting rights.

CBS, Fox, and NBC all pay an excess of $2 billion to broadcast the NFL under the league's new broadcast deal. Fox ($2.2 billion) is the biggest spender, NBC ($2 billion) spends the least and CBS ($2.1 billion) ranks right in the middle. These numbers are more than double what each side paid under the previous deal. The current deal was agreed upon in 2021.

Additionally, Amazon Prime pays $1 billion just for the "Thursday Night Football" window alone.

All of these agreements mean the NFL is making billions of dollars from its television partners, but the hefty price these networks pay (aside from Amazon Prime) comes with the benefit of being part of the coveted Super Bowl rotation.

Super Bowl announcers: Jim Nantz and Tony Romo

Last year's Super Bowl broadcast threw some viewers for a loop, as two first-timers, Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen, were in the Fox booth. That won't be the case this year.

Play-by-play broadcaster Jim Nantz will be on the call from Las Vegas alongside color commentator Tony Romo, marking Nantz's seventh Super Bowl in the CBS booth and Romo's third.

Nantz served as CBS' pregame host and leader of the trophy presentation for Super Bowls at the end of the 2000 and '03 seasons, but he first got the opportunity to call the big game in February of '07 at Super Bowl 41. Since then, Nantz has called classics, including the Saints' victory over the Colts and the Ravens' "Blackout Bowl" win over the 49ers.

Romo joined the CBS booth after his retirement in 2017, instantly becoming Nantz's partner on the network's top broadcast team. This will be his third Super Bowl, though it will notably be Romo's first that doesn't end in Tom Brady winning. Romo was in the booth for Super Bowls 53 and 55, the first of which was Brady's final championship with the Patriots and the latter of which was the quarterback's lone title with the Buccaneers.

Nantz and Romo have called one Super Bowl featuring Patrick Mahomes: a loss to Brady and the Buccaneers three years ago. They will have the opportunity again as the Chiefs face the 49ers for the second time in five years.

Only six different play-by-play broadcasters have called the Super Bowl since the start of the century: Nantz, Burkhardt, Al Michaels, Joe Buck, Greg Gumbel, and Pat Summerall.Mike Tirico is expected to join the ranks when NBC hosts Super Bowl 60.

Super Bowl sideline reporters: Tracy Wolfson and Evan Washburn

Tracy Wolfson and Evan Washburn will serve as CBS' sideline reporters for Super Bowl 58.

Wolfson has worked with the network's No. 1 crew, led by Jim Nantz, since the 2014 season. This will be her fifth Super Bowl as a sideline reporter, a stretch that began with Super Bowl 47 between the Ravens and 49ers.

Washburn works with CBS' No. 2 crew, led by Ian Eagle, but networks traditionally switch to two sideline reporters for the Super Bowl to ensure they have both teams covered well. This will be Washburn's fourth Super Bowl for CBS, with his first being the Broncos' Super Bowl 50 win over Carolina.

One of Wolfson and Washburn will be assigned to the Chiefs, while the other will be assigned to the 49ers.

What channel is the Super Bowl on?

Super Bowl 58 will be broadcast nationally on CBS.
