The half-hour pregame special is hosted by Gabrielle Nevaeh Green and Lex Lumpkin and will feature Super Bowl fun facts, “Nick-ified” season highlights, and predictions of this year’s winning team with help from special guests.

“We are thrilled to continue our collaboration with Nickelodeon and build off the success and overwhelming positive response from the production of the NFL Wild Card Game on Nickelodeon,” said Sean McManus, chairman, CBS Sports. “The ‘Nick-ified’ elements in our pregame and halftime programming, along with the second screen digital and social highlights, will be the perfect complement to CBS Sports’ first-class broadcast of Super Bowl LV.”
Some more of the details:
