The animated characters from the long-running cartoon will be part of the “alternate telecast” of the Super Bowl that will be airing on Nickelodeon on Feb. 11 at 6:30 p.m., called “Super Bowl LVIII Live from Bikini Bottom,” Nickelodeon parent company Paramount said.

The game will include an “opening segment from Allegiant Stadium re-creating SpongeBob’s iconic ‘Sweet Victory’ performance.”

Once the game starts, it will include “enhanced graphics and advanced augmented reality, bringing the historic Slime-filled telecast to SpongeBob SquarePants’ undersea home.”

SpongeBob and Patrick Starr will join CBS Sports personalities helping to call the game. Sandy Cheeks will report from the sideline and Larry the Lobster will have live commentary, Paramount said.

Other characters, such as Dora the Explorer and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, will also make appearances during the broadcast.
