Watch: Super Bowl 2016 Ads

Ad space during the biggest game of the NFL season comes at a premium price – a 30-second Super Bowl 50 ad spot is selling for as much as $5 million.

With only a couple of days to go until Super Bowl 50 kicks off in Santa Clara, CA, big name advertisers are already hyping the rollout of the ads they hope will become event classics.

Ad space during the biggest game of the NFL season comes at a premium price – a 30-second Super Bowl 50 ad spot is selling for as much as $5 million, according to Fortune. That's a lot of money to push beers, cars and potato chips, but when the NFL championship airs on Feb. 7 on CBS, advertisers can expect to have their product in front of over 1 million consumers (last year's game drew 114 million viewers).  

Promoting a product during the Super Bowl also comes with great expectations from audiences wanting to be wowed each and every year. Ad campaign directors attempt to go bigger and better, adding more wow factors, comedy, or embracing emotion to root their brand in the minds of Americans.

Take a look at the the ads below and check back regularly for all the Super Bowl spots rolled out in the lead-up to the big game.
