THIS SUNDAY NIGHT, the New England Patriots will attempt to claim the Super Bowl for the third time in four years, but underdogs the Philadelphia Eagles stand in the way of Tom Brady and co.
The spectacle kicks off at 11.30pm Irish time and, like every year, we’ve found dozens of places showing it live around the country if you plan to head out for the game.
