"The Simpson Funday Football" will premiere live on DAZN (excluding the U.S. and China) on Monday, December 9, as the "Monday Night Football" telecast featuring the Cincinnati Bengals vs. Dallas Cowboys receives a real-time transformation into the iconic Simpsons world using Sony's Beyond Sports Technology. Springfield's Atom Stadium will be the venue for the fully immersive fan viewing experience as the Bengals and Cowboys battle it out on the field.
Like previous alternate viewing presentations of NFL games, The Simpsons Funday Football will be presented in parallel to the traditional MNF broadcast, providing fans with a fun way to enjoy the game with a familiar cast of characters. As announced by the NFL, the Simpsons creators have collaborated with the league "to ensure the authenticity of the longest running primetime scripted series with more than 750 episodes."
The Simpsons Funday Football: How does it work and which Simpsons characters will apeear?
Sony's Beyond Sports Technology to power the broadcast
Every Bengals and Cowboys player "will appear as a motion-enabled, animated player for the special primetime matchup." Tracking technology using NFL's Next Gen Stats and Sony's Beyond Sports will combine with optical tracking from Sony's Hawk-Eye Innovations to enure that fans will see "every snap, run, pass, score and more" from Monday's real-life Bengals vs. Cowboys game as it happens.
Bart vs. Homer
Bart Simpson has sided with the Bengals while Homer is a Cowboys fan, making for a true Simpsons family dynamic as the father and son cheer on their respective teams. The iconic duo will even jump into the play on select key oppotunities, "replacing a player and joining his other 10 teammates on the field."
Additionally, Lisa and Marge will interview players throughout the contest and Maggie will pilot the SkyCam.
Familiar faces
Outside of the Simpson family, dozens of the show's iconic characters will also feature on the telecast — all voiced by their respective real-life voice actors.
In addition, Bart and Homer will each have their own group of supporters joining them to cheer for their respective sides.
