Super Bowl 59 is set to take over the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, on Sunday, Feb. 9, 2025. The city is gearing up to host its 11th Super Bowl. With its reputation as one of the NFL’s favorite venues, they are expected to deliver the big day’s electrifying vibes and iconic celebrations.
The game will kick off at 6:30 p.m. ET, with Fox handling the broadcast in English and Spanish-language options available on Telemundo and Fox Deportes. This year, viewers can also catch the game on Tubi and NFL+, making it easier than ever to tune in from anywhere.

Local New Orleans icon Jon Batiste will deliver the national anthem. At the same time, Trombone Shorty and Ledisi will bring additional musical magic to the pregame ceremonies as per the NFL’s announcement on November 28, 2024. With Mardi Gras still a month away, the city’s energy will undoubtedly mirror the festive spirit it’s known for.
Hosting the big game in New Orleans wasn’t always the plan. Originally slated for Super Bowl 58, the game was rescheduled due to conflicts with the city’s Mardi Gras celebrations. But to everyone’s pleasant surprise, the timing worked out perfectly for 2025, giving the Caesars Superdome another chance to shine on a historic NFL stage.
Security for the event is a top priority, especially following a tragic incident on Bourbon Street earlier this year. Officials have promised rigorous measures to ensure the safety of fans and players, reassuring everyone that the Super Bowl experience will be “safe and enjoyable.”
This year’s advertising slots have been in high demand, with 30-second commercials selling for over $7 million. The game breaks will include everything from witty ads to emotional stories, and viewers can expect the usual mix of creative content that has become a hallmark of Bowl Sundays.
Meanwhile, the teams are still battling it out in the playoffs while the fans eagerly await the matchup that will define the season. However, Super Bowl 59 is already shaping up well and might be able to bring a spectacle of football, music, and culture as always.
So, set your reminders now! This year, America’s biggest sporting event will take center stage on Feb. 9, 2025.
Chiefs vs. Eagles Super Bowl Preview
Based on PFN’s win probability model, which ran 10,000 simulations via the PFN Playoff Predictor, the Eagles have a 52.8% chance of defeating the Chiefs.
The Chiefs are aiming to become the first team in NFL history to win three straight Super Bowls. Kansas City has won three of the last five Super Bowls and will be the first NFL team to play in five Super Bowls over a six-season span.
This is Philadelphia’s third Super Bowl appearance in the last eight seasons. The Eagles defeated the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII and lost to the Chiefs two seasons ago in Super Bowl LVII.
Kansas City Chiefs Trends and Insights
- The Chiefs have 17 straight one-score wins (12-0 this season, their last three playoff games last year, and their last two regular season games). Twelve one-score wins is the most in a single season all-time, tied with the 2022 Vikings, 2019 Seahawks, and 2015 Broncos.
- Patrick Mahomes passed Joe Montana for the second-most playoff wins by a starting quarterback (17) and John Elway for the second-most playoff game-winning drives by a quarterback (seven).
- From 2019-24, the Chiefs have made six Super Bowl appearances, are chasing a fourth title, and have won 78% of their regular season games. For reference, the Splash Brother Golden State Warriors (2015-19, 2022) made six NBA Finals appearances with four titles and won 76.2% of their regular season games.
- The Chiefs have averaged over 2.5 points per offensive drive in four straight games when playing their regulars – that’s a good formula, as NFL teams have won 78.9% of their games this season when clearing 2.50 PPD.
- During his career, Mahomes has averaged 3.9 carries for 20 yards and 0.13 touchdowns on the ground during the regular season. In the postseason, those rates elevated to 5.4 attempts, 29.1 yards, and 0.35 touchdowns per game.
- Since Week 5, Mahomes ranks second in pass attempts (511, even including the playoffs, Joe Burrow still has more). There are 33 QBs with more deep TD passes over that stretch (including Cooper Rush, Daniel Jones, and Michael Penix Jr.).
Philadelphia Eagles Trends and Insights
- The Eagles peaked early last season and scored 155 points over a five-game win streak (Weeks 7-12). Over their past five games, they’ve scored 166 points.
- Jalen Hurts ran for three scores in his prior Super Bowl experience, joining Terrell Davis as the only player to do that in The Big Game. With his three rushing scores on Sunday, Hurts joined LeGarrette Blount as the only players in NFL history with multiple playoff games in which they ran for three-plus touchdowns.
- Philadelphia has forced 19 turnovers in their past six games, a run that includes four games with three-plus.
- The Eagles became the sixth team to have multiple players rush for multiple scores in a playoff game, the first since Rex Burkhead and Sony Michel did it for the 2018 Patriots.
- Since 2022, the Eagles are 18-8 ATS (69.2%) when facing a team that enters play with at least as many wins as losses (second best, trailing only the 20-6-1 Lions).
- Hurts will become the eighth quarterback to start multiple Super Bowls within his first eight seasons. Of the previous seven, only Elway failed to secure a ring within his first five seasons—though Elway would famously cap off his career with Super Bowl victories in his final two seasons.
- There are similarities between the Eagles’ Super Bowl run in 2017 and this season. Both teams won it all after…
– A 28-point win in November in Dallas
– Falling behind on the first drive of a blowout Championship win
– Going undefeated in October and November
