After banning church Super Bowl parties (http://www.churchmarketingsucks.com/archives/2007/02/nfl_bans_church.html) in the past, the NFL has relented and is allowing churches (http://www.televisionbroadcast.com/article/73822) to show the big game, provided they don't charge for the event or use the name "Super Bowl" (I recently saw TGI Friday's calling it "The Game We Can't Name" (http://twitter.com/kevinhendricks/status/1149290520) in their promotions).
While churches can't charge for the event, taking donations to defray costs is OK. Another stipulation is that the event needs to be held in a location where the church normally meets (apparently no renting out new space for your "big game" party).
If your church is having a Super Bowl party, hopefully you already knew that (doing your copyright homework (http://www.churchmarketingsucks.com/archives/2009/01/churches_and_co.html) is good marketing).
