The Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers are facing off in Las Vegas for Super Bowl LVIII. And with Taylor Swift's attendance drawing even more eyes to football's biggest day, advertisers lined up big stars and invested a sizable amount of cash to win the commercial wars.
Last year, approximately 200 million people tuned in for Super Bowl LVII. That's a lot of eyes for any company and explains why advertisers have already scooped up all the game-day inventory, virtually selling out spots weeks ahead of the game, Ad Week reported, citing a Paramount spokesperson.
In recent years, advertisers have spoiled the suspense by rolling out their Super Bowl commercials ahead of the big game. Early releases and teasers help broaden a brand's exposure, garnering even more buzz for a company. Experts say the strategy is getting people to talk about a brand's commercial before the game in order to generate some early interest online, rather than risk getting eclipsed by a more viral-worthy spot on game day.
Super Bowl ads cost millions to produce and air, and with CBS charging advertisers north of $7 million for a 30-second spot during Super Bowl LVIII, brands are looking to stretch their dollars beyond the Vince Lombardi Trophy presentation.

However, most of the pre-releases are teaser content, setting up storylines or hinting at what celebrities will star in their prime-time ads. Fans had to wait for the full versions to drop during the game, with commercials being shown during each game break.
Here's a look at the 2024 Super Bowls ads that have been released, so far:
