Super Bowl LIX is scheduled for Sunday, February 9, 2025, at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, home of the Saints of the National Football League (NFL).

The Super Bowl begins at 6:30 p.m. ET.

How to watch the Super Bowl

Super Bowl LIX will be broadcast on FOX and available to stream on Fubo and the FOX Sports app.

Who sings the national anthem?

Jon Batiste, a five-time Grammy winner, will sing the national anthem. Christian recording artist Lauren Daigle will sing “America the Beautiful” with Trombone Shorty. R&B singer Ledisi will sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”

Who will perform the halftime show?

Compton, California rapper Kendrick Lamar, a 17-time Grammy winner, will be the halftime artist.

The September announcement followed the release of one of Lamar’s most popular songs, “Not Like Us.”

The smash song was the result of his ongoing rap dispute with Drake. The 37-year-old rapper has been making headlines all summer for his historic rap feud with the Canadian artist.

“Not Like Us” was the last of five diss tracks Lamar released as part of the rap battle. The song quickly became a West Coast anthem.

No special guests have been announced who will appear with Lamar at the Super Bowl, although the rapper has previously appeared with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent and Mary J. Blige headline Super Bowl 2022.

Who is likely to play in the Super Bowl?

Led by star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the two-time defending champion Kansas City Chiefs (+360) are once again favorites to win the Lombardi Trophy after securing the best record in the American Football Conference (AFC) and a first round bye.

The Detroit Lions (+400) are preferred as representatives of the National Football Conference (NFC).

The Buffalo Bills (+475) and Philadelphia Eagles (+500) are considered their main rivals, with the Baltimore Ravens (+650) also in the running. Rounding out the list of top teams with odds of more than 30:1 are two teams from the NFC North: the Minnesota Vikings (13:1) and the Green Bay Packers (14:1).

The Pittsburgh Steelers, Houston Texans and Los Angeles Chargers have secured a spot in the playoffs and each have a 40-1 chance of winning the Super Bowl.

There are still two weeks left in the regular season with a handful of division titles and playoff spots still up for grabs.

When was the last time the Super Bowl was played in New Orleans?

Super Bowl LIX marks the 11th time the Super Bowl has been played in New Orleans since 1970. Super Bowls IV, VI and IX were played at Tulane Stadium. Since then, starting with Super Bowl XII in 1978, the Superdome has been the venue for the event.

In the last Super Bowl in New Orleans, the Baltimore Ravens defeated the San Francisco 49ers 34-31 on February 3, 2013 in Super Bowl XLVII in what was then called the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

The game is best remembered for a 34-minute power outage in the Superdome that interrupted play and appeared to change the dynamics of the contest. The Ravens led 28-6 at the time of the loss early in the third quarter, only to see the 49ers score 17 points in four minutes to close the gap before Baltimore won the franchise’s second title.

What you should know about the Caesars Superdome renovation

The 73,000-seat Caesars Superdome has undergone a series of renovations costing hundreds of millions of dollars since Hurricane Katrina tore off much of the building’s roof in 2005.

In 2006, the Superdome reopened after a multi-stage renovation that cost over $200 million. The renovation included a new roof, video board, concession stands, kitchens and improved seating.

In 2020, a new $560 million round of renovations began, removing concrete ramps and replacing them with stairs and elevators. According to the New Orleans’ Saints’ website, recent updates also included Wi-Fi and cellular upgrades, three new atriums, new 40-yard line bars, and additional fan amenities and technology improvements.

The latest renovations were completed prior to the team’s season opener on August 25, 2024.
