Alright, football fans (and commercial enthusiasts), the biggest Sunday of the year is almost here! Whether you’re in it for the game, the halftime show, or just the excuse to eat an ungodly amount of wings, we’ve got you covered. What time is kickoff? Where can you watch? And who’s taking the stage at halftime? Let’s get into it!

When and Where is Super Bowl LIX?

This year, the Super Bowl is coming to New Orleans—a city that knows how to throw a party. The action goes down at Caesars Superdome on Sunday, February 9, 2025.

Super Bowl LIX Start Timings:

Set those reminders because kickoff is at 5:30 p.m. CT (6:30 p.m. ET / 3:30 p.m. PT). Of course, if you’re the type who likes to soak up every second of Super Bowl coverage, the pregame show starts hours before—so expect a lot of dramatic slow-motion footage of players looking pensive on the field.

Where to Watch & Stream the Super Bowl

There’s no excuse for missing this, wherever you are.
TV Broadcast: FOX (English) & Telemundo (Spanish)
Streaming: Available free on Tubi or streaming on YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and the NFL app.
Radio: Westwood One Radio & SiriusXM NFL Radio
Translation: If you have a screen, you can watch.

Who’s Playing in Super Bowl LIX?

It’s a Super Bowl rematch! The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles are facing each other again, two years after their exciting 38-35 showdown in Super Bowl LVII.
Patrick Mahomes is back doing Patrick Mahomes things, proving he’s basically the NFL’s final boss. Jalen Hurts is on a quest for revenge, and he’s armed with a new weapon: Saquon Barkley, who just ran in three touchdowns in the NFC Championship. The Chiefs are looking to win their fourth Super Bowl in six seasons, which, let’s be real, is just absurd.
It’s an all-heavyweights battle, with the stakes pretty much as high as they go.

Who is Performing at Halftime?

Listen: Even if you don’t even care about the football, that halftime show in itself is the reason to flip on the telly.
Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show headliner will be Kendrick Lamar, and anybody who has experienced his performances is already aware this is going to be legendary.
Who’s joining him? SZA. Yes, two of the biggest names in music sharing the biggest stage in the world.
National Anthem: Grammy-winner Jon Batiste, a New Orleans native, will get things started with “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
Lauren Daigle & Trombone Shorty will sing “America the Beautiful” (why not just go all in on that particular NOLA flair?).
In other words: This halftime show is about to get straight-up elite.

Wait…. Do halftime players even get a paycheck?

Heck no! The NFL doesn’t give them another check, although honestly, these artists don’t need one; exposure in a Super Bowl alone is more rewarding than the financial gain. When Shakira danced in 2020, that boosted her 230% with streams. Jen Lo’s rise was 335%. Let us not even breathe a word how it catapulted Justin Timberlake in 2018, raking up in sales at the rate of 534%!.
Basically, if Kendrick Lamar and SZA drop a new album right before the Super Bowl, you already know what’s up.

Final Countdown to the Big Game

So whether you’re a die-hard Chiefs fan, an Eagles ride-or-die, or here merely for the snacks and ads, one thing is sure: this is going to be Super Bowl LIX. Now that you know when, where, and how, all there is left to do is stock up on wings, place some bets, and get ready for the night. Well, that’s that time of the year, folks. And I’m asking, who you got, Chiefs or Eagles?
