Depends on what you are looking for but most will say ESPN at the boardwalk. Only issue is that you pretty much have to get there before it opens at around 11:30 and camp out at a table all day.

Some have posted that x years ago they had a big inflatable screen with it on but I'm wondering if that was a year that ABC broadcast it. Since they would have to get clearance to show it publicly.

The easiest is some sort of food delivered to your room and watch it on the TV there.

Of course if you have a car there are a ton of places off site.

I was wondering the same thing myself!

The best place to eat and watch the game is probably your resort's room service. The restaurants that televise sports will be packed. Lounges less so, but food options are limited in those places.

Bump!

Bump!

It would easier just to do a search.

There is at least one other current Super Bowl thread and the options don't change much from year to year.

WDW really doesn't have any restaurants with televisions.

Inside the parks, forget it. Even the lounges don't have televisions.

ESPN is the big go-to place, because it's for sure a restaurant with televisions that is guaranteed to be showing the Super Bowl and if you're in there you will be able to see it. But because it's really the only game in town, it's going to be a zoo. If you don't get there early you won't be able to count on a table for the game, and they don't take reservations.

I'd go with a resort lounge that serves food. In my opinion the best ones for this would be Wilderness Lodge or Old Key West (small bar, if I were going there I would go early) I or maybe the Rix at Coronado Springs, it had more than one television. Big River Grill has a TV in the bar. As for the other lounges I'm not clear on the locations of the televisions and whether they have more than one television. Crews Cup is a nice lounge with food but I don't know about being able to view the televisions.

Tambu now has two big televisions but is usually jammed with 'Ohana guests. I think bluezoo's lounge has only one TV and it's at the far left end of the bar.

I would probably go to the lounge at the hotel you're staying at. We stayed at POR and watched some college football in their lounge, and it worked out good. It was a good size with a couple TVs. No entertainment there on a Sunday night either.

Don't try ESPN...you won't get in unless you are waiting in line before opening. We were there two years ago for the super bowl and my husband works for espn and knows the owner and still was not able to get us in...even when he called a month or two in advance.

My husband and his brother ended up driving down to the TGIFridays Sports Bar on Internaitonal Drive by Universal and watched the game.

If you don't want to leave Disney property i would say order up some room service and watch it in your room.
