Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Taylor Swift are set to make appearances at the upcoming Super Bowl as the Kansas City Chiefs aim for an unprecedented third consecutive championship against the Philadelphia Eagles on Feb. 9 in New Orleans.
The Chiefs secured their spot in the NFL title game by defeating the Buffalo Bills 32-29 in a thrilling AFC championship match. They will face the Eagles, led by star running back Saquon Barkley, who scored three touchdowns in their NFC title game victory over the Washington Commanders with a score of 55-23.
This year's Super Bowl will be a rematch of the game two years ago when the Chiefs narrowly beat the Eagles 38-35 in Glendale, Arizona. Last year, Kansas City emerged victorious against the San Francisco 49ers with a 25-22 overtime win in Las Vegas.
No team has ever achieved three consecutive Super Bowl victories, making this year's game even more historic.
The Super Bowl will be broadcast on Fox, with Kevin Burkhardt as the play-by-play announcer and former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady serving as the analyst. Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi will also be part of the broadcast team.
The game is scheduled to kick off at approximately 6:30 p.m. EST on Feb. 9, with the Chiefs entering as the favorites by 1 1/2 points according to BetMGM Sportsbook.
Streaming options for the Super Bowl include platforms such as Fubo, NFL+, and Tubi.
The NFL Honors awards show, where the Associated Press NFL Most Valuable Player award will be announced, is set for Feb. 6 at 9 p.m. EST. The show will be hosted by Snoop Dogg and will air on Fox and NFL Network.
The highly anticipated halftime show will feature Kendrick Lamar as the headliner, with Grammy winner SZA joining him on stage. The show will be co-executive produced by Jay-Z's Roc Nation company and Emmy-winning producer Jesse Collins.
