On February 2, 2020 FOX Sports streamed Super Bowl LIV to a record breaking audience of 3.32M Peak Concurrent Viewers — making this happen required over a year of planning and development, plus numerous rehearsals to make sure we were ready for the BIG Game.

In the below video, we share a behind the scenes look at what it took to deliver the biggest event of the year to millions of streaming viewers around the country.

This video was originally presented at Demuxed 2020 — The Conference for Video Engineers. Check out more great talks on YouTube.

Taking over the historic Newman Scoring Stage on the FOX Studios Lot in Los Angeles, CA, we assembled a streaming War Room to empower 160+ team members and partners in delivering this event. Check out a few photos below.

Congrats to the entire #TeamFOX and our partners for delivering such a stellar event! BTW, if you are interested in joining our team and helping deliver the next HUGE event… we’re hiring 😀
