The countdown to Super Bowl 59 between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles is officially on.
After the NFL took the Big Game to Las Vegas for the first time last year, it is set to return to the league’s most popular Super Bowl venue in 2025: New Orleans. The Big Easy will host the Super Bowl for the 11th time, while the Caesars Superdome will be the host venue for the eighth time.
Super Bowl 59 will be played on Sunday, Feb. 9, with kickoff scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET. FOX has the broadcast rights for this year’s game, so Kevin Burkhardt (play-by-play) and Tom Brady (analyst) will bring the action into our living rooms.
As we get set for another fabulous Super Bowl Sunday, here’s a more thorough glimpse at all the details and information for Super Bowl 59.
What Time Does The Super Bowl Start?
The official Super Bowl website always lists the start time at 6:30 p.m. ET, but those who have previously watched one or two know the game won’t actually kick off until closer to 6:45.
FOX, which most recently aired Super Bowl 57 between the Chiefs and Eagles, holds the rights to the rematch in Super Bowl 59. Veteran play-by-play broadcaster Kevin Burkhardt will be flanked by seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady, who will complete his first season on the mic in the game he so often was part of.
Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi will be the sideline reporters, and the pregame show will likely start around noon ET.
Who Is Playing in Super Bowl 59?
The two-time reigning Super Bowl champion Chiefs will take on the NFC champion Eagles in a rematch of Super Bowl 57, a game the Chiefs won 38-35 on a last-second field goal by Harrison Butker.

Andy Reid’s squad has already made history by reaching this stage once again, as no team had previously advanced to a third consecutive Super Bowl after winning the prior two. Only three previous teams — the 2016-18 Patriots, 1990-93 Bills, and 1970-72 Miami Dolphins — have played in three straight Super Bowls.
The Chiefs will look to go a step further and solidify their legacy as one of the best teams of all time by becoming the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowl titles.
Where Is the Super Bowl 59 Location?
Caesars Superdome, the site of more Super Bowls than any other location, will get another chance to host the Big Game in 2025.
New Orleans will also pull into a tie with Miami for the record number of Super Bowls hosted (11). Tulane Stadium served as the venue for the first three Super Bowls (IV, VI, and IX) played in NOLA.
Both franchises have battled for the Lombardi Trophy in The Big Easy previously. The Chiefs captured the franchise’s first title in Super Bowl IV at Tulane Stadium with a 23-7 victory over the Minnesota Vikings in 1970. Eleven years later, the Eagles fell 27-10 to the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl XV at the Superdome, as Ron Jaworski threw three interceptions in Philadelphia’s first Big Game appearance.
The most recent Super Bowl in New Orleans featured a power outage, which delayed play for 34 minutes. Eventually, the Baltimore Ravens defeated the San Francisco 49ers 34-31 in the Harbaugh Bowl.
Who Is Playing the Super Bowl 59 Halftime Show?
After Usher wowed the crowd in Las Vegas with a star-studded halftime performance, the NFL will turn to Kendrick Lamar in New Orleans.
The rapper, who hails from Compton, recently announced that singer-songwriter SZA will be among this year’s special guests. The two have collaborated on multiple tracks, including “All the Stars" and “Luther."
The halftime show will commence after the game’s second quarter, which means it will likely start between 8 and 8:30 p.m. ET. Pepsi relinquished its sponsorship of the halftime show in 2022, which means the show will be brought to viewers by Apple Music for the second straight year.
