How much do Super Bowl ads cost this year?

Advertisers paid up to $10 million for 30-second ads during Super Bowl LX, driven by over 100 million U.S. viewers and strong engagement, NBCUniversal said.

  • Super Bowl LX on February 8 at Levi's Stadium featured a record $10 million 30-second ad, broadcast on NBC, Peacock and Telemundo.
  • NBCUniversal confirmed ad inventory sold out by early September 2025 as brands invest heavily due to Super Bowl's over 120 million simultaneous live viewers.
  • Data show creative strategies shifted toward AI and stars, with artificial intelligence dominating ads and Budweiser featuring George Clooney while Matthew McConaughey appeared in Pepsi spots this year.
  • Space sold for an average of $8 million per 30-second unit, and Walt McRoberts said advertisers face massive upfront costs with no guaranteed returns.
  • Studies show about 42 viewers tune in mainly for ads, and Kantar finds £4.60 returns per pound, supporting brand investments in the Super Bowl.
