Why can’t companies use the name Super Bowl in their ads?
Sports
There's a reason commercials during the Super Bowl have to refer to the event as the "Big Game" rather than "Super Bowl LVII."
The reason is that the term has been a registered NFL trademark since 1969, requiring commercials, radio hosts and other specific media personnel to pay to use the official name.
What company had the longest commercial in this year’s Super Bowl?
While the longest Super Bowl commercial in 2023 is still to be determined, there have been very pricey ads over the years.
In fact, the most expensive Super Bowl ad of all time was 2020 – a tie between Amazon and Google.
The lengths of the commercials were 90 seconds, costing a whopping total of $16.8 million for each company.
How much is spent on Super Bowl commercial advertisements?
Approximately $500 million in ad revenue is generated during one Super Bowl night.
There are approximately 70 ads during the hottest sports night of the year.
