Let’s be real. Not everyone in the world wants to watch the Super Bowl.
While the 2024 Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers might be what most people watch on television this Sunday, it won’t be what everyone watches on television.
We’ve come up with five options for those who would rather watch something else, from a movie marathon at home to catching up on one of the hottest television shows of the winter.
Let’s dive in with some Super Bowl 58 alternative programming for those of us who are either tired of watching the Chiefs play football or just want to avoid football altogether this weekend.
Have a 'Barbenheimer' marathon
Are you one of the few people who haven’t seen the 2023 movie hits Barbie and Oppenheimer? Do you just want to relive two of last year’s biggest films before next month’s Academy Awards?
Instead of watching the Super Bowl, you could fire up a “Barbenheimer” marathon at home by watching Barbie on Max and renting or buying Oppenheimer digitally or on home video.
Watch the latest episode of True Detective: Night Country
If you’re in the mood for a murder mystery, you can binge all the available episodes of HBO’s new series True Detective: Night Country.
The latest episode debuted early on Friday, so you’ll be right on schedule to see the latest happenings on this chilling procedural drama.
Watch the first episode of CBS' new series Tracker
If you want to check out CBS after the Super Bowl, the network will be premiering its new series Tracker.
Justin Hartley (This Is Us) stars as a survivalist and expert tracker named Colter Shaw, based on the character from the The Never Game series by author Jeffery Deaver.
Watch the season premiere of Abbott Elementary
If you’re in for something funny, you can watch the first two seasons of ABC’s hit sitcom Abbott Elementary leading up to the big game and stream the season premiere for the third season on Super Bowl Sunday.
The new season premieres on Feb. 7, so it’ll be available on Hulu to pop on at your leisure that Sunday night.
Watch the new Netflix movie Orion and the Dark with the family
If you’ve got kids who don’t want to watch football and really don’t need to watch True Detective: Night Country, Netflix has a brand-new movie from DreamWorks Animation ready to stream.
Orion and the Dark hits the streaming service on Feb. 2 and features a script written by, oh yes, Oscar-winning writer Charlie Kaufman (Adaptation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind).
This one really does have something for everyone and would be a very easy sit as a family-friendly alternative to the Super Bowl.
