Super Bowl XLI will be the climax of the busiest season to date of the American NFL on Sky Sports, with live coverage of up to four regular season matches each weekend. Sky Sports confirmed a new four-year deal in September to broadcast NFL live games and support programming.
Super Bowl is known for its big-name halftime shows with Prince expected to make an appearance in 2007. Previous performers include The Rolling Stones, U2 and Sir Paul McCartney, and infamously Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson, who suffered a "wardrobe malfunction" on stage.
The Barclays Premiership, Uefa Champions League, the Ryder Cup and Rugby Union were all shown in HD in 2006.
