Is the Super Bowl followed closely by people in any country other than the US?

Not by many. Most foreigners don’t even know the basic rules of American Football.

I wanted to watch but was sick. My mom watched some of it.

Ex-pats

Only by weirdos.

My husband played American football in K-12. I once asked him why he played football and not soccer, since he is Mexican, and he said because football you get to wear a helmet. Don’t go thinking he was worried about safety, he was obsessed with Speed Racer and so any sport with a helmet when he was very little was attractive to him.

His favorite pro team is the Pittsburgh Steelers. Someone told me that Mexicans usually like either the Cowboys or the Steelers. I don’t know how true that is.

Anyway, my Mexican husband has always followed American football, but I don’t know how widespread that is across Mexico or other countries. I think soccer is much more popular across the world.

There is some interest in the UK but not much. This year it was broadcast on one of our ‘main’ channels but that’s the first time I can remember it being broadcast here. (I’m not say it hasn’t been before but I don’t remember it…)

The Superbowl is followed by people all over the world.

There are probably well over a million people worldwide who watch it.

I live in the UK and I know there are 1000s who follow the Superbowl. In fact it is streamed live here.

It is very likely that it is streamed livei in many countries.
