Which commercials will Canadians see during the Super Bowl?

In December, the Supreme Court of Canada overturned a previous ban by the CRTC on simultaneous substitution during Canadian broadcasts of the Super Bowl, once again giving local brands the opportunity to get some attention during the game’s broadcast.

Given how recently the CRTC policy was overturned, Canadian companies and their ad agencies didn’t have a lot of time to pull together robust Super Bowl plans. But some have still managed to time some major ad and campaign launches with the big game’s broadcast on CTV, while others are using what is one of the highest-viewed TV events of the year to get more eyeballs on their existing efforts (and, of course, several others will be airing adaptations of Super Bowl ads that are also airing in the U.S.).

If you’re not a football fan, or don’t want to wait until Sunday, here is a list of the ads we know we will be seeing on Sunday.

Bell

The telco will be debuting new creative on Sunday, with a football-themed ad showing how the Fibe TV app lets customers watch TV across different devices.

Prior to kickoff, the company’s Bell Media division will also be airing a two-minute trailer for Transplant, a new medical drama that is set to premiere on CTV on Feb. 26.

Budweiser

The brewer will be airing a Canada-exclusive update of the classic “Whassup” ads, with the conversation taking place between connected home tech. True to the message of the ad – “it’s a smart world, don’t be stupid about how you get around” – Budweiser has partnered with Uber so that, during the game, the ad will air with a promo code to ensure people are able to get a safe ride home. Read more about the campaign, created by Mosaic, here.

The Hyundai-owned luxury brand is airing an adaptation of “Going Away Party,” an ad starring celebrity couple John Legend and Chrissy Teigen. The ad kicks off Genesis’ “Young Luxury” campaign aimed at positioning the newer brand as a “younger,” more exciting alternative to legacy brands in the category. The ad was created by Innocean USA, with the agency’s Canadian office securing local media space.

The ad was created by Innocean USA, with the agency’s Canadian outpost securing local media space.

The campaign, created by Innocean Canada, is also aimed at high-profile event viewing – it debuted during the Grammy’s earlier this month, and will also be seen during the Canadian broadcast of the Oscars.
