Unless you're planning to fly to Houston and watch the game there, the Super Bowl will be screened live on both 7mate and ESPN.
Who is playing?
The New England Patriots (who have won the title four times before) are playing the Atlanta Falcons, who have never lifted the trophy.
What celebrities are performing?
Lady Gaga will be the headline performer on the half-time show, and American country music star Luke Bryan will sing the national anthem.
If I can't watch, can I follow online?
Yes, Fairfax will be running a live blog from before kick-off until after the final whistle.
