Super Bowl LVIII: CBS Sports Releases The NFL Today Game Day Schedule

Here's a look at what's ahead with Sunday's four-hour edition of CBS Sports' The NFL Today, running before Super Bowl LVIII (from 2-6 pm ET).

If you're looking for the anchor of CBS Sports' Super Bowl Sunday coverage, look no further than the four-hour edition of The NFL Today that's set to run this Sunday from 2-6 pm ET. Originating live from both Bellagio and Allegiant Stadium leading up to kickoff, the show is anchored by James Brown – with analysts Phil Simms, Bill Cowher, Nate Burleson, Boomer Esiason, and JJ Watt, and lead NFL insider Jonathan Jones. In addition, Ian Eagle, Charles Davis, Matt Ryan, Jason McCourty, and Amy Trask will offer additional commentary – and UEFA Champions League Today's Kate Abdo, Thierry Henry, and Micah Richards will also be popping up.

But even with all of those folks more than willing to share their thoughts on the big game, the special edition will also feature superstar performers and Vegas entertainers like Super Bowl LVIII halftime performer Usher, Steve Aoki, Penn & Teller, Carrot Top, Wayne Newton, and others. In addition, football fans can look forward to one-on-one interviews with Patrick Mahomes, Brock Purdy, Travis Kelce, Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, Andy Reid, and Kyle Shanahan. In addition, the show will include a tribute to Norma Hunt, a celebration of the Raiders' impact on the NFL, and a look back at how the Seattle Seahawks used their victory over the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII to advocate for social justice.
