The American football Super Bowl attracts viewers from across the globe for one of the biggest events in the sporting calendar.

However, UK viewers will need to adjust their sleep patterns or have a large supply of coffee handy, with this year's event kicking off at 11.30pm on Sunday (February 11).

With that in mind, very few venues will be open to show the Super Bowl, which this year features the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers.
