Welcome to 'The Biggest Game,' a new video podcast where we talk all things Super Bowl. The history of the game, its impact, its place in the world of sports and beyond. From its humble beginnings to its rise to the pinnacle of the American sports and cultural landscape. No aspect of the game is too obscure to escape our gaze. We are interested in the players and coaches, the winners and losers, the most spectacular performances and plays. But we’re also interested in the drama and stories behind the scenes. The business of the Super Bowl. The commercials. The halftime shows. The greatest renditions of the national anthem. All of it. We’ll be joined by the men who played in the game and by other people who played a role in the growth and development of the Super Bowl. Join Jeremy Schaap, one of ESPN’s most respected and longest-tenured personalities, as he explores the evolution of America’s biggest game.Copyright 2026, ESPN. All Rights Reserved.

    How the NFL Kept COVID from Shutting Down Super Bowl LV | The Biggest Game
    Jun 2 2026
    When the Covid-19 pandemic brought the sports world to a halt in March of 2020, the NFL had a built in advantage. Unlike the NBA, NHL, and MLB, the football season was months away, giving the league time to implement plans to keep the season from being derailed. Through rigorous testing, tracking, and adjustments to the calendar, the 2020 NFL season reached its conclusion without cancelling a single game. And at the end of that road lay Super Bowl LV. The premier event on the American sports calendar every year. Today on The Biggest Game: former Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Lavonte David, Dr. Allen Sills, the NFL's Chief Medical Officer, and longtime NFL executive Jeff Miller explain how the season and the biggest game took place in the midst of a global pandemic.
