.




Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift will be among the familiar faces at the Super Bowl when the Kansas City Chiefs go for an unprecedented three-peat against the Philadelphia Eagles on Feb. 9 in New Orleans.

Mahomes and the Chiefs are back in the NFL title game after beating the Buffalo Bills 32-29 in a thrilling AFC championship game on Sunday. They’ll face Philadelphia and star running back Saquon Barkley, who ran for three touchdowns as the Eagles beat the Washington Commanders 55-23 in the NFC title game.

This year’s Super Bowl is a rematch of two years ago, when the Chiefs edged the Eagles 38-35 in Glendale, Arizona. Last year, Kansas City beat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in overtime in Las Vegas.

No team has ever won three straight Super Bowls.

Here are a few more things to know as the Super Bowl approaches:



What channel is the Super Bowl on?


The game will be aired on Fox. Kevin Burkhardt will be the play-by-play announcer with former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady as the analyst. This is Brady’s first Super Bowl as an announcer. He won seven titles as a player. Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi are also part of the broadcast team.


What time is the Super Bowl?


It will start at roughly 6:30 p.m. EST on Feb. 9.


Who is the Super Bowl favorite?


The Chiefs are favored by 1 1/2 points, according to BetMGM Sportsbook.

Who is performing at the Super Bowl halftime show?


Kendrick Lamar will be the headliner for the halftime show.

The rap megastar, who has won 17 Grammys, said he’s looking forward to bringing hip-hop to the NFL’s championship game, where he performed as a guest artist with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent and Eminem in 2022.

Lamar will be joined on stage by Grammy winner SZA — his former Top Dawg Entertainment labelmate. The singer appeared on Lamar’s recent album “GNX” and was featured on a couple of songs including “Gloria” and “Luther,” which also features sampled vocals from Luther Vandross and Cheryl Lynn.

The duo’s previous hits include the Oscar-nominated “All the Stars” and “Doves in the Wind.” Jay-Z’s Roc Nation company and Emmy-winning producer Jesse Collins will serve as co-executive producers of the halftime show.


What time does the Super Bowl halftime show start?


Since kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET, and the game usually takes somewhere between 3-4 hours to complete, the halftime show will likely begin somewhere between 8-8:30 p.m. ET. All of this depends, of course, on how the play on the field progresses.


Who is Kendrick Lamar, performing at the Super Bowl halftime show?


Kendrick Lamar, who made headlines for his critically acclaimed halftime appearance during Super Bowl LVI in 2022 alongside Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and Mary J. Blige, returns to take the spotlight as the main act.

In a statement, Lamar expressed his excitement, saying, "Rap music is still the most impactful genre to date. And I'll be there to remind the world why. They got the right one."

The Compton-born rapper has enjoyed a roller coaster career year, from a highly publicized rap feud with Drake, to releasing his sixth album, GNX, to critical acclaim.
