The Super Bowl is less than a week away, but brands have already started releasing their commercials for the biggest TV event of the year.

Fox, the network airing the 2020 Super Bowl, had sold out its advertising slots by November. Fox had been selling 30-second slots for as much as $5.6 million. The brands advertising in this year's Super Bowl game include Facebook, Snickers, Heinz, Pop-Tarts, Procter & Gamble and more. Viewers should expect some political flavor too, with Michael Bloomberg and Donald Trump airing their presidential campaign ads during the game.

Here are the Super Bowl commercials that have already been released. This list will be updated as brands release their official spots:

Amazon Alexa's "Before Alexa"

Alexa's 90-second spot with Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi imagines life without the voice assistant. The spot explores what requests like "What's today's news?" or "Play that song I like" would have looked like in days of yore (or in a fantasy world).

Amazon Prime Video's "Hunters Super Bowl Commercial"

Amazon Prime Video will air a 60-second spot for its original "Hunters" series, which will be about a band of Nazi hunters who have "set out to stop the Fourth Reich from rising to power in 1970s America." The show will be available on February 21.

Audi's "Let it Go"

Audi's 60-second spot features actress Maisie Williams, best known for her role as Arya in HBO's "Game of Thrones," driving an Audi e-tron and singing "Let It Go" from Disney's 2013 hit "Frozen." In the spot, Williams drives the zero-emissions crossover away from a crowded intersection of carbon-emitting vehicles with internal combustion engines

Avocados from Mexico's "The Avocados from Mexico Shopping Network"

Avocados from Mexico's spot stars Molly Ringwald as a home shopping network host selling products for avocados, like a chip-shaped pool floatie or a personal carrier. The brand worked with Energy BBDO on the spot.

Cheetos' spot gives new meaning to "Can't Touch This" with the help of MC Hammer and Cheetos Popcorn.

Hill hand-selected Scorcese to join him in the commercial, Coke said. 

Discover's "No, We Don't Charge Annual Fees" and "Yes, We're Accepted"

Genesis' "Going Away Party"

Hyundai-owned Genesis will be running its first Super Bowl ad this year, starring Chrissy Teigen and John Legend. The two throw a going away party for "old luxury," making way for the "new luxury" of the GV80 SUV. The spot was made with Genesis' agency, Innocean. The brand re-cut its original ad to remove the appearance of a stationary helicopter, following a helicopter crash Sunday that killed retired NBA superstar Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna along with seven others.

Mountain Dew Zero Sugar's "As Good As The Original"

This spot, starring Bryan Cranston and Tracee Ellis Ross (in her first Super Bowl role), puts a sugar-free spin on "The Shining."

New York Life's "Agape"

New York Life's 60-second spot is meant to celebrate the company's first 175 years in business and to kick off its "Love Takes Action" campaign. The spot describes four types of love recognized by the ancient Greeks, including "Agape," which it describes as "love as an action." The company says for its years in business it's been helping people act on their love.

The NFL's "Inspire Change" spot with retired NFL wide receiver Anquan Boldin, which premiered earlier this month during conference championship games, will run again as a 60-second commercial during the Super Bowl.

Pepsi's "Zero Sugar. Done Right."

Pepsi's spot for its Zero Sugar version features Missy Elliott and H.E.R. performing a rendition of the Rolling Stones' "Paint it Black" (with a subtle reference to Coca-Cola's red cans and the Pepsi Zero Sugar cans' black exterior). The spot was done with Goodby Silverstein & Partners.
