I've been in Playa del Carmen for probably the last 5 Superbowls and during that period a few sports bars have come and gone. For the last two years, TGI-Fridays (Calle 8 & 5th Avenue) has turned itself into a sports bar and gets the feed in English but it does get a bit crowded and the layout is awkward. Last year, we watched the game at ******'s Dragon Bar where they setup a large screen and offered the game in English. With their latest remodel job it's questionable whether they'll do it again. Bourbon Street (5th Avenue between Calle 6 & 8) has a sizeable screen and would be a popular place to catch the game. The most popular place to consistently catch the game in English has always been at Cabalova but I haven't heard whether they've moved into a new location yet.
Karen's Pizza and Deseo (both on 5th Avenue) usually show the game in Spanish. We watched the game at Deseo one year, just because someone had turned on the heaters for the hottub. It was kind of nice not having to listen to the commentators.
