Television coverage of Super Bowl XXXVIII begins in the middle of the night in Iraq and Afghanistan, but plenty of U.S. troops will be watching.

The game between the Carolina Panthers and the New England Patriots will be broadcast live in all corners of the war zones, including Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Djibouti, said Joe Pettoni, the Army’s Morale, Welfare and Recreation manager for the theater.

UPDATE: Greyhawk, who is on active duty in Germany, has a great Super Bowl post over at his blog. He also mentions The Fallen Heroes Fund, a charitable organization supported by the NFL.
