The San Francisco 49ers will face the Kansas City Chiefs at Allegiant Stadium in Super Bowl LVIII. This year's Super Bowl will be broadcast on two networks in different formats, marking the first time in NFL history.

Super Bowl LVIII will be broadcast on CBS, and in addition to that, there will be a kid-friendly version of the broadcast on Nickelodeon that will run simultaneously. The kid-focused telecast will include classic Nickelodeon features like green slime, as well as the cast of "SpongeBob SquarePants," who will be presenting the game.

Texas native Sandy Cheeks will serve as a sideline reporter, Larry the Lobster will provide commentary and play-by-play, while SpongeBob and Patrick will co-host the broadcast.

To kick off the Super Bowl action, the cast of SpongeBob SquarePants will perform "Sweet Victory" by David Glen Eisley, in addition to their regular broadcast duties. This is not the first time the cast has performed the song, and they will be doing an encore of a Season 2 episode performance.
