YouTube will let you watch some Super Bowl 2014 commercials before they air

YouTube today announced it will let Super Bowl fans watch some of this year’s ads before they even air, on a page called Ad Blitz. Last year, the Google-owned company offered teasers before the big game, but now it’s going the extra mile and promising a set number of commercials will be available as well, although it wouldn’t say exactly when.

Currently, there are nine teasers available, as well FOX Sports playoff analysis for teams on the road to the championship. In addition to the upcoming ads and existing videos, YouTube is also promising custom content from some of the site’s stars and postgame voting so you can ask your friends which ads they liked best.
