Clarification 02/05/2026: To be considered a “big game ad”, the advertisement must occur after kick-off and before regulation time, or overtime if any, has ended. A qualifying appearance includes on-screen appearances (live, pre-recorded, or virtual), appearances as host, guest, performer, or presenter, cameos, sketches, interviews, musical performances, commercial spots, video calls, voice-over narration, or voice-only segments like phone interviews. Archival footage, mentions without appearance, impersonations, lookalikes, AI-generated content, and clips from other sources do not qualify. The appearance must be newly created after market issuance and accessible to the general public through standard viewing methods.
