Every season has its must-see televised events, from the ubiquitous Gilmore Girls rewatch in fall to the Oscars in March. With midwinter, however, comes perhaps the most anticipated event of the annual sports calendar: the Super Bowl. Below, find everything you need to know about the National Football League’s 59th championship game.
When is Super Bowl LIX?
This year’s Super Bowl is set for Sunday, February 9, starting at 6:30 p.m. EST.
Who’s playing in Super Bowl LIX?
The Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs will face off on Super Bowl Sunday, which is good news both for Philly sports fans and those heavily invested in Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his girlfriend, a little-known musical artist by the name of Taylor Swift.
Where will Super Bowl LIX take place?
New Orleans’s Caesars Superdome, best known as the home of the Saints, will host this year’s Super Bowl—as it has eight times before.
How can I watch Super Bowl LIX?
You can watch Super Bowl LIX as it’s broadcast live on Fox, or stream it via platforms such as Sling TV, YouTube TV, Hulu with Live TV, or Tubi.
Who’s scheduled to perform at the halftime show?
Grammy- and Pulitzer Prize-winning rapper Kendrick Lamar will headline the halftime show at the 2025 Super Bowl. “Rap music is still the most impactful genre to date,” he said in a recent statement. “And I’ll be there to remind the world why. They got the right one.” In a kind of teaser for their joint Grand National Tour this spring, moreover, he’s set to be joined by frequent collaborator SZA.
Lamar, of course, is no stranger to the Super Bowl stage, having previously co-headlined the 2022 halftime show alongside Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent, and Mary J. Blige.
But that’s not all: Also scheduled to perform this Super Bowl Sunday is multihyphenate musician (and Louisiana native) Jon Batiste, who will handle the National Anthem.
