These Are the Best Super Bowl LIV Commercials

Although the highlight of Super Bowl LIV was seeing the Kansas City Chiefs defeat the San Francisco 49ers at the football championship in Miami, coming in a close second were all the commercials shown during the game.

2020’s offerings saw an abundance of celebrity cameos, such as Bill Murray, Bryan Cranston, Maisie Williams, Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, Lil Nas X and Post Malone, while the entertainment world dropped a few new clips and teasers for its upcoming projects. Most notably, Disney+ gave fans its first real look at its upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe shows such as Falcon and Winter Soldier, WandaVision and Loki, and we also saw the final trailer for the live-action Mulan. The Super Bowl also gave fans another glimpse at clips from Fast & Furious 9, Die Another Day and Black Widow.

An estimated 100 million viewers, including both sports fans and non-sports fans alike, tuned into the big game to catch some of the most-talked about, political, and outlandish ads. It’s reported that advertisers shelled out around $5.6 million USD for a 30-second spot during Super Bowl LIV.

Below are the best Super Bowl 2020 commercials, ranging from Pepsi’s music video-inspired advertisement starring Missy Elliott and H.E.R. to NFL’s “Next 100” which showcased young football players such as prodigy Maxwell “Bunchie” Young. Let us know which ones were your favorites in the comment section below.
