Super Bowl LIX will be broadcast live on Fox from Caesars Superdome, New Orleans. This highly anticipated event sees a rematch between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, following their clash in the 2023 Super Bowl, where the Chiefs emerged victorious. The Chiefs went on to secure another win in the 2024 Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers. Notably, this is the second time in three years that the Eagles have reached the Super Bowl and the fifth time in their history. Their previous Super Bowl victory was in 2018.
2025’s Super Bowl half-time show is set to feature Kendrick Lamar, with SZA performing alongside him. The 37-year-old Kendrick Lamar, hailing from Compton, recently won several Grammys for his song “Not Like Us.” However, there’s speculation about whether he will perform this popular song, as it’s currently involved in a lawsuit with fellow rapper Drake.
