Everything You Need to Know About Super Bowl 59
The biggest night in football is fast approaching, and Super Bowl 59 promises to be a historic showdown. Whether you’re tuning in for the high-stakes battle on the field, the star-studded halftime show, or the viral commercials, there’s something for everyone.
Here’s your ultimate guide to the 2025 Super Bowl, including when and where it’s happening, how to watch, and what to expect from this year’s electrifying halftime performance.
When and Where is Super Bowl 59?
Super Bowl 59 will take place on Sunday, February 9, 2025, with kickoff set for 6:30 p.m. EST. The game will be held at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, marking the city’s 11th time hosting the championship—the most of any location in NFL history.
New Orleans’ last Super Bowl appearance was in 2013, when the Baltimore Ravens edged out the San Francisco 49ers in a game that was as memorable for its blackout delay as it was for Beyoncé’s legendary halftime performance.
How to Watch Super Bowl 59
Football fans have plenty of ways to catch the action:
TV Broadcast: The game will air live on Fox Sports.
Streaming Options: Viewers can stream the game via the NFL app, Fox Sports app, and Tubi, as well as services like FuboTV, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, and DirecTV Stream.
Spanish-Language Broadcast: Telemundo and Fox Deportes will provide Spanish-language coverage, alongside Kansas City-based Tico Sports.
For those who prefer an early start to game day festivities, ESPN and Fox Sports will air pregame coverage, while the ever-popular Puppy Bowl kicks off at 2 p.m. EST on Animal Planet.
The Teams: Chiefs vs. Eagles in a Super Bowl Rematch
The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles will meet on the sport’s biggest stage for the second time in three years. Their last matchup, in Super Bowl 57, ended with a thrilling Chiefs comeback to win 38-35.
The Chiefs: A Dynasty in the Making?
Kansas City enters the game seeking a historic three-peat, a feat no NFL team has ever achieved. Patrick Mahomes, already a three-time Super Bowl MVP, has cemented his status as one of the game’s greatest quarterbacks. His ability to thrive under pressure is legendary, and with another title, the Chiefs’ current dynasty could rival the Michael Jordan-era Bulls.
The Eagles: Revenge on Their Minds
Philadelphia, meanwhile, is out for redemption. After falling just short in 2023, the Eagles return to the big game with a stronger roster, including star running back Saquon Barkley, who is just 30 yards shy of breaking the NFL’s single-season rushing record.
Analysts say the Eagles may have the most talented roster in the NFL, but will that be enough to stop Mahomes and the Chiefs?
Halftime Show: Kendrick Lamar Takes Center Stage
This year’s Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show will be headlined by Kendrick Lamar, fresh off his five Grammy wins. He’ll be joined by special guest SZA, his frequent collaborator and fellow Grammy winner.
Lamar will be the first solo rapper to headline the Super Bowl halftime show. His performance is expected to be one of the most anticipated in years, and fans are eager to see if he’ll perform “Not Like Us,” the diss track that took the music world by storm.
“I think I’ve always been very open about storytelling throughout my catalog,” Lamar said in a preview of the show. “And I’ve always had a passion about bringing that on whatever stage I’m on, that sense of making people listen but also see and think a little.”
Expect a performance that’s visually and lyrically compelling—one that will be talked about long after the final whistle.
Who’s Attending? Celebrities, Presidents, and More
Super Bowl 59 is expected to be packed with A-list attendees. Among the most notable guests:
Taylor Swift – The global pop icon is likely to be in the stands supporting her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Swift’s presence at NFL games has been credited with a surge in female viewership, adding a new layer of intrigue to this year’s event.
Former President Donald Trump – Making history, Trump is set to attend, marking the first time a sitting or former U.S. president has ever attended a Super Bowl in person. His past clashes with the NFL, particularly with the Eagles, add another layer of drama to his appearance.
With heightened security following recent incidents in New Orleans, the Super Bowl will be one of the most heavily guarded events in recent history.
More Than Just Football: Rivalries and Wagers
Beyond the game itself, the Eagles vs. Chiefs rivalry has led to some fun (and high-stakes) wagers between the two cities:
Art Museums Bet on the Outcome – The Philadelphia Museum of Art and Kansas City’s Nelson-Atkins Museum have agreed to loan a masterpiece to the winning city’s museum.
Zoos Join the Fun – The Philadelphia Zoo and Kansas City Zoo will dress their animal statues in the winning team’s gear and donate $50 per point scored to conservation programs.
Public Radio Food Wars – Philadelphia’s WHYY has promised to send cheesesteaks to Kansas City’s KCUR if the Chiefs win. If the Eagles take home the trophy, KCUR will send barbecue to WHYY—a deliciously high-stakes bet.
The Bottom Line: A Super Bowl for the Ages
Whether you’re a die-hard football fan, a halftime show enthusiast, or just watching for the commercials, Super Bowl 59 is shaping up to be a can’t-miss event.
With a historic rematch, a potential three-peat, and a groundbreaking halftime performance, this year’s game could be one for the record books.
