Best bars in Rome to watch the Kansas City Chiefs face the Philadelphia Eagles.

A handful of Rome bars are screening the much anticipated Super Bowl game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles in the early hours of Monday 10 February.

The game starts at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans at 00.30 - just after midnight on the night of Sunday 9 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 in Rome 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.

Cinema Troisi in the Trastevere district is also screening the big game, on the big screen, with free entry.

For those in Italy who wish to watch the Super Bowl from home, the game will be screened live on free-to-air Italian television channel Italia 1 and streamed on the Mediaset Infinity and DAZN platforms.
