Super Bowl Sunday already holds a special place in American culture, and this year, former President Donald Trump is giving fans another reason to tune in. Although Trump won’t attend Super Bowl LX in person, he will appear during NBC’s broadcast for a special interview, according to several network executives who confirmed the plan to OutKick. The conversation is expected to air before kickoff as part of NBC’s pregame coverage.
NBC Sports executive vice president for communication Greg Hughes told the outlet that arrangements are underway for the appearance, though final details have yet to be announced. The anticipation surrounding Trump’s segment is already adding to the excitement that traditionally builds around the Big Game weekend.
NBC to Broadcast Trump Interview Ahead of the Game
NBC News anchor Tom Llamas is set to conduct the one-on-one interview with Trump at the White House on Wednesday. A portion of that exchange will be shown later in the evening during “NBC Nightly News” at 6:30 p.m. Additional clips will air during the network’s Super Bowl LX Pregame Show, continuing NBC’s long-running tradition of featuring a presidential interview before the game.
This year marks another chapter in the network’s effort to connect national politics with pop culture’s grandest sports spectacle. The segment is positioned to capture a massive audience, uniting football fans, political watchers, and curious viewers in one of television’s biggest moments of the year.
Balancing the Game’s Ups and Downs
While some fans have voiced disappointment about aspects of this year’s event — from the entertainment lineup to the teams competing — there’s still plenty to look forward to. The familiar mix of wings, commercials, and the added intrigue of a high-profile Trump interview offers something for everyone to enjoy on game day.
For those who may not be drawn in by this year’s halftime performers or team matchups, the pregame interview provides a fresh highlight. It’s another reminder that the Super Bowl remains more than a sporting event — it’s an emblem of American culture where football, media, and politics often collide.
