It might cost up to $5m for 30 seconds but scoring an advertising slot in the Super Bowl is bound to be a huge victory for the game's sponsors.
Last year's game between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks was the most watched in US television history, with over 114.4 million viewers.
The adverts typically star high profile names and are released online in advance in the hope of generating extra buzz.
Many advertisers have been skipping the crass humour and sex in recent years to play it relatively safe for the game's 50 anniversary this year.
"Advertisers just don't want to blow it in 30 seconds on the Super Bowl so many are teeing up by producing teasers or rolling out the ad completely before the game, and this allows a big rollout on social media which does matter these days," said Lisa Granatstein, an editor at Adweek.
Budweiser's ad features Dame Helen Mirren telling people why drunken driving is a bad idea while Bud Light creates its own political campaign using Amy Schumer and Seth Rogen.
"It's still early on, we may still see a viral hit but I predict this year will be a little bit more tempered in part because of the distraction of the political campaign and because everybody is playing, it seems, a little safe," added Ms Granatstein.
The Carolina Panthers will take on the Denver Broncos at the Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on Sunday 7 February.
