Is there an advantage to having it on Sunday ratings wise? I wouldn’t think so. I would much rather recoup on Sunday. The Monday’s after are awful

Because Super Bowl Sunday on a Saturday doesn’t make sense!

Especially having it late in the day on Sunday is terrible. If it was at 2pm it would be much better

Because the host city and NFL make more money by stretching it out and having it on Sunday.

If they had it on Saturday everyone would go home on Sunday.

It's stupid. Same with all of the major college championship games being on Mondays. It's just fricking stupid.

I assume it probably has something to do with more people being at home on Sunday night than Saturday. How many hit shows do you know air on Saturday night?

I've always wondered this about the National Championship being on a Monday.

Ratings would be in the toilet if they moved it to Saturday.

Professional football is played on sundays, I wouldn't mind if it was moved back a couple hours since it should be played at a reasonable time like 5 PM EST.

Because Super Bowl Saturday doesn’t quite roll off the tongue as good. That’s honestly the only reason. That’s it.

More people are willing to have less plans interfering and willing to watch TV on Sunday night than Saturday.

Also, it shouldn’t matter these days. You shouldn’t be working. You should be staying home, wearing two masks, and waiting on your government check.

The real question is why isn't the Monday after the Super Bowl a national holiday?

Scrap Columbus day and replace it with that.

Well, the college football championship game is on a fricking Monday night. How the hell did that happen?
