Seven essential facts, one glance: here’s the Super Bowl LIX cheat sheet.

When and Where Is the 2025 Super Bowl?

Date: February 9, 2025

• Super Bowl LIX takes place on Sunday, February 9, 2025 (Caesars Superdome official site).

The NFL championship game returns to its traditional Sunday slot in early February. The 2025 season’s championship marks the 11th time New Orleans has hosted the Super Bowl (ABC News U.S. outlet).

Location: Caesars Superdome, New Orleans

• The game is held at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.

New Orleans last hosted the Super Bowl in 2013 (Super Bowl XLVII). The Caesars Superdome, an indoor stadium, ensures weather won’t affect the game itself, though fans should plan for typical February conditions in the city (Wikipedia open encyclopedia).

The implication: New Orleans’ return as host city underscores its status as a premier NFL destination — no other city has hosted more Super Bowls.

What Time and Channel Is the Super Bowl on TV?

Kickoff time: 6:30 p.m. EST

• Super Bowl LIX kicks off at 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time.

In Central Time, that’s 5:30 p.m. (the Caesars Superdome lists the local event start at 5:30 p.m. CST).

TV channel: Fox

• Fox broadcasts Super Bowl LIX nationally in the United States.

Streaming options include the NFL app and Tubi, which will carry a pregame show starting at 3:30 p.m. ET.

Why this matters: With multiple streaming avenues, cord-cutters have more flexibility than ever to catch the big game live.

Who Is Performing at the Super Bowl 2025 Halftime Show?

Confirmed performers

• Kendrick Lamar headlines the Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show (FOX Sports official broadcaster).
• SZA joined Kendrick Lamar as a special guest during the performance (ABC News U.S. outlet).

The NFL, Apple Music, and Roc Nation announced Lamar as the halftime headliner in September 2024 (Sky Sports UK coverage). Lamar, a multi-Grammy-winning rapper, brings his Pulitzer Prize-winning artistry to the Superdome stage.

Artists who declined offers

Not all artists who were approached accepted. Among those who reportedly declined the Super Bowl LIX halftime show: no specific names have been confirmed from official sources, though past refusals (like Rihanna in previous years) are well-documented. The NFL has not publicly disclosed which artists were offered and turned down the 2025 slot.

Do halftime performers get paid?

The NFL does not pay halftime performers directly. Instead, the league covers production costs and expenses. The exposure alone — one of the most-watched television events globally — is considered the compensation.

The catch: For superstars like Kendrick Lamar, the trade-off is visibility over a paycheck — and a shot at making pop-culture history.

Who Will Be in the 2025 Super Bowl?

Teams: Kansas City Chiefs vs Philadelphia Eagles

• The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles face off in Super Bowl LIX.

This is a rematch of Super Bowl LVII in 2023, where the Chiefs beat the Eagles 38–35. The Chiefs, led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes, are gunning for their third Super Bowl title in six seasons. The Eagles, with quarterback Jalen Hurts, are seeking their second Lombardi Trophy.

Path to the Super Bowl

• Both teams won their conference championship games on January 26, 2025 (NFL championship results).

The Chiefs claimed the AFC title, while the Eagles won the NFC championship — the same Eagles who defeated the San Francisco 49ers en route to the title game. Their regular-season records and playoff performances set the stage for this high-stakes rematch.

What this means: The narrative is ripe — a rematch of one of the most exciting Super Bowls in recent memory, with both teams largely intact from their 2023 rosters.

Which Teams Are Favored for Super Bowl 2025?

Betting odds analysis

According to sportsbooks, the Kansas City Chiefs entered Super Bowl LIX as the betting favorites over the Philadelphia Eagles. Exact point spreads and moneyline odds fluctuated in the days before kickoff, as bettors weighed injuries and weather conditions (though indoor venue mitigates that). For context on another NFL matchup, see Steelers vs Jaguars Player Stats.

Key matchups

The Chiefs’ offense, ranked near the top in scoring, faces an Eagles defense that excelled at pressuring quarterbacks. Meanwhile, Philadelphia’s running game — led by Saquon Barkley — tests Kansas City’s run defense.

Two teams, one rematch: how the Chiefs and Eagles stack up for Super Bowl LIX.

The pattern: Experience at the highest level leans Chiefs, but Philadelphia’s hunger and balanced roster make this a genuine toss-up.

What We Know vs. What’s Still Unclear

For NFL fans and casual viewers alike, Super Bowl LIX is already drawing record expectations — a rematch of one of the most thrilling Super Bowls in history, set in a city that knows how to host a big game. For the Kansas City Chiefs, a victory would cement a dynasty; for the Philadelphia Eagles, redemption is the only acceptable outcome. The choice for fans is clear: tune in at 6:30 p.m. EST on February 9, or risk missing another instant classic.
