2009 - Super Bowl XLIII

Duration: 4 hours, 10 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One LondonLatest broadcast: on BBC One Yorkshire

Jake Humphrey presents coverage of one of the world's biggest sporting spectacles, Super Bowl XLIII, which takes place in the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.

The event, which attracts a massive audience in more than 200 countries across the globe, is always an absorbing mix of sporting drama and razzmatazz, with rock legend Bruce Springsteen headlining the half-time entertainment.

The 2008 game was a thrilling contest, with the New York Giants triumphing over the New England Patriots thanks to a last-minute touchdown. It was a hard pill to swallow for the Patriots, who had been bidding to become the first NFL team to win all 19 games in a season.

There is no chance of New England making amends for that disappointment this season, having failed to reach the play-offs, but the Giants are still on course to defend their title. Show less
