It’s almost time for the event of the season – and while we don’t exactly follow the NFL here in the UK, we certainly enjoy the spirit of it. The highly anticipated game will see two of the best NFL teams across the pond – Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles – go head to head, plus a halftime show that promises to be one to remember. We’re talking an epic performance from Kendrick Lamar alongside the incredible SZA, and likely much more in the way of entertainment, including, of course, an inevitable Taylor Swift appearance. Here’s our guide to where to watch the Super Bowl in Manchester this year, on Sunday 9 February, to huddle on down with mates for the night.
1. GRUB
GRUB will be showing the big game on the big screen on February 9, providing the perfect chill spot for mates to enjoy.

Tickets include food, a choice of drink, big screen surprises, gaming and entry to GRUB’s cosy cinema to watch the game from 11:30pm. Get tickets here.
