The fifth episode of The Last of Us will be aired two days earlier to avoid clashing with the Super Bowl

According to the official Twitter account of The Last of Us, the fifth episode of The Last of Us will be aired on Sunday at 9 p.m. Eastern Time in the United States, while the broadcast time in the UK remains unchanged.

Although no official reason was given, it is possible that the reason was to avoid a clash with the Super Bowl (the annual championship game of the NFL), which has a high viewership on traditional American TV programs. Last year, more than 99.18 million Americans watched the Super Bowl.

With the popularity of the TV series "The Last of Us", the ratings of the show have been steadily increasing. Currently, the third episode has the highest ratings. Since the fourth episode has just been aired, specific data is not yet available.
