If you don’t want to watch the actual football game but still want to stay up to date on the Super Bowl XLIX commercials, NBC has the perfect gift. The network said today it will post commercials on a Tumblr blog as they air.
The page launched today, although the game isn’t until Feb. 1. In the meantime, the page is posting NBC Sports content.
“We recognize that Super Bowl TV ads are must-see content for many viewers,” Rick Cordella, senior vice president of digital media at NBC Sports, told CNN Money. “Tumblr is a visually-rich, social-friendly platform that is perfect to showcase the Super Bowl TV ads.”
This isn’t the first time NBC has used Tumblr to share ads. As AdAge points out, the network had a similar page in 2012, the last time it aired the Super Bowl. NBC says that the ads received 2 million views at the time.
NBC also announced on Tuesday that the Super Bowl will be available to stream for free on the NBC Sports Live Extra app, which is available on desktops and tablets. You won’t need a satellite or cable subscription to have access and they will even include Katy Perry’s halftime show. The episode of The Blacklist that will air after the game is also thrown in as an added bonus.
Super Bowl XLIX is between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots.
