Last year, an impressive 200 million viewers tuned into Super Bowl LVII, highlighting the massive audience reach that this event offers. This huge viewership is a key reason why advertisers have rapidly filled all available ad slots for the game, with inventory selling out weeks in advance.

Lately, the trend among advertisers has been to unveil their Super Bowl food ads well before game day. This approach of early releases and teasers is designed to amplify a brand’s visibility, creating additional excitement and discussion around their products. 

The production and broadcasting of Super Bowl commercials are a costly affair. With CBS setting the price for a 30-second advertisement during Super Bowl LVIII at over $7 million, brands are increasingly seeking ways to maximize the value of their investment, extending their reach beyond the moment the Vince Lombardi Trophy is awarded.

Most of these early releases consist of teaser content, which lays the groundwork for the storyline or offers hints about the celebrities featured in the full prime-time ads. However, audiences will need to wait until game day to see the complete versions of these ads. Here’s a preview of what to expect from the upcoming 2024 Super Bowl food ads.
