Does Dubai broadcast the Super Bowl?

Is the Super Bowl shown in Dubai?

I will be traveling to Dubai tomorrow and being the crazed American sports fan I am, I have never missed a Super Bowl. Anyone know if this will be shown there? Granted it would be early morning there.

SkySports in your hotel room.

Or call or email the Hard Rock Cafe in Dubai. That's how I saw it in Rome (at the Hard Rock Cafe on the v. Veneto).

I'll check into that. Staying in the Dubai Millenium hotel. If I can't find it I may have to buy a Slingbox.

Go to the Embassy and ask the Marine guard. He'll know where it would likely be shown, and he might even say, "Yeah, we've got a big-screen TV in our barracks. Come on by and ask for Corporal Shmedlap."

Should be multiple spots inside the Mall of the Emirates. For with-alcohol options, most of the large hotels will likely be showing it too.

And, yeah, HRC will likely be showing it too. Enjoy!

If you can't find it in a bar or American Hotel (I would be very surprised if you can't find it somewhere where there are a bunch of Americans) you can always try the internet. MYP2P, TVAnts, SopCast, etc
