NFL Slimetime’s Young Dylan and Dylan Schefter will be reporting live from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, and Nickelodeon is throwing in some guest appearances as well. A few of those include Dora the Explorer (voiced by Diana Zermeño) along with her companion Boots (voiced by Asher Colton Spence) and entertainment provided by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

As for the half time show, young fans will get to enjoy Usher's performance alongside their parents. The Apple Music Half Time Show will remain the same.

The Super Bowl hype continues long after the game is over with the following events:

  • NFL Slimetime “Super Bowl LVIII Slimelights” – On Feb. 12, at 7 p.m. ET SpongeBob SquarePants will recap the highlights and Slimelights from the biggest night in sports, which will air in the UK, New Zealand and Australia the following day.
  • NFL Slimetime “Post-Super Bowl” – On Feb. 14, at 7:30 p.m. ET Young Dylan and Dylan Schefter will wrap up season 3 of their show with a recap of Super Bowl LVIII.

Nickelodeon's previous broadcasts

For the past three years, CBS and Nickelodeon have collaborated on one broadcast per football season, USA TODAY previously reported.

The first broadcast featured the NFC wild-card game between the New Orleans Saints and the Chicago Bears, which was watched by an average of 2 million fans.

Nickelodeon produced a slime-filled special on Christmas Day 2023 that streamed the game between the Las Vegas Raiders and Kansas City Chiefs alongside special guest appearances and family fun.
