How to watch Super Bowl in the US: TV channel information for Cincinnati Bengals vs Los Angeles Rams

AP

The 2021 NFL season comes to its climax on Sunday night when the Cincinnati Bengals take on the Los Angeles Rams in LA.

The Bengals have stunned the NFL with a fairytale run from the foot of the AFC North a year ago to one game away from a first Vince Lombardi trophy in franchise history.

Fired on by the superstar arm of second-year quarterback Joe Burrow and hands of rookie sensation Ja'Marr Chase, the Bengals have run through the AFC - including last year's conference champions, the Kansas City Chiefs - to reach Sunday's finale.

There they will face the Rams, who conquered the NFC with their own super-talented QB, Matthew Stafford, getting them over the line against the Arizona Cardinals, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and San Francisco 49ers in consecutive weeks.

Their prize is a Super Bowl appearance in their home stadium - the $5billion SoFi Stadium in Inglewood - for only the second time ever following last year's winners Tampa.

Here's everything you need to know about this year's game:

Los Angeles Rams: 8/15
