Where in Rome to see the Kansas City Chiefs face the San Francisco 49ers.

A handful of Rome bars are screening the much anticipated Super Bowl game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers in the early hours of Monday 12 February.

The game starts at 00.30 - just after midnight on the night of Sunday 11 February - Italian time.

The most popular places to watch it in Rome include Scholars Lounge, for its atmosphere and large television screens, as well as the Abbey Theatre near Piazza Navona, and The Drunken Ship in Campo de' Fiori, two other venues with a strong American fanbase.

Other lively bars showing the big game include the Hard Rock Cafe on Via Veneto, The Highlander off Via del Corso and La Botticella near Piazza Navona.

Bars advise customers to arrive well in advance of the game due to the large crowds expected.
