HOW TO WATCH SUPER BOWL LIX
While we don’t yet know which of the remaining NFL teams from the AFC and NFC will face each other in Super Bowl LIX, we do know when the Super Bowl will be held, and how to watch it.
WHAT CHANNEL IS THE SUPER BOWL ON?
Super Bowl LIX will be broadcast on FOX. Check here to find your local FOX affiliate and tune in on DIRECTV.
You can also stream the Super Bowl live on Fubo.
A Spanish language broadcast will be available on FOX Deportes (Channel 465 HD) and Telemundo (Channels 406 and 407).
WHEN DOES SUPER BOWL LIX START?
Super Bowl LIX kicks off on Sunday, February 9, 2025 at 6:30 p.m.
The Super Bowl is always played at a neutral site to eliminate home field advantage for both teams, and this year it’s being held at the Caesers Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The next three Super Bowls will be played in Santa Clara, California, Inglewood, California and Atlanta, Georgia. Stadiums that can ensure warm average daily temperatures are prioritized for Super Bowl location selection, unless the stadium has a dome.
Despite the game itself only consisting of four 15-minute quarters, a typical NFL championship broadcast will last between three and four hours. This happens for a number of reasons; apart from the many clock stoppages during the game, there are also commercials and the traditional halftime show.
SUPER BOWL BROADCASTERS
The Super Bowl rotates which major network has the rights to the broadcast each year. This year, the big game belongs to FOX.
WHO IS IN THE SUPER BOWL THIS YEAR?
We don’t currently know which two teams will meet in the Super Bowl, but the two top seeded teams are the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC and the Detroit Lions in the NFC. If the Chiefs make it to the Super Bowl, it’d be the third consecutive time, and if they win, it would be the first three-peat Super Bowl win in NFL history.
Aside from the two top seeds, the Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, Washington Commanders, Philadelphia Eagles, Los Angeles Rams and the Houston Texans also have a shot at making the big game.
SUPER BOWL 2024 HALFTIME SHOW
If your favorite part of the Super Bowl is the halftime show, you aren’t alone. The Super Bowl Halftime Show is famous for hosting some of the biggest names in entertainment, having been played by the likes of Beyonce, Usher, The Rolling Stones, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, Rihanna and many other performers over the years.
This year, the Super Bowl LIX halftime show will be played by Kendrick Lamar. Lamar also appeared in the Super Bowl LVI halftime show with other rap legends, including Dr. Dre, Enimem and Snoop Dogg. Lamar has had five songs hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and won 17 Grammys and a Pulitzer Prize.
SUPER BOWL LIX COMMERCIALS
It’s not often that people watch something on TV as much for the main event as for the commercials, but the Super Bowl is an exception to that rule. The big game is famous for its often hilarious and very expensive commercial spots. Brands can expect to pay up to $7 million for 30 seconds of commercial airtime.
