2025 Super Bowl 59: Philadelphia Eagles stars to watch in New Orleans.

The Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs punched their tickets to Super Bowl LIX with wins on Championship Sunday. The biggest game of the season will take place at the Caesars Superdome -- home of the Saints -- in New Orleans, Louisiana on Feb. 9, 2025, and will kick off at approximately 6:30 p.m. ET.

New Orleans was originally granted Super Bowl LVIII, but the league changing the length of the regular season forced it to alter plans. When the NFL went from 17 to 18 weeks, the Super Bowl got pushed back a week and created a conflict that year with Mardi Gras celebrations already scheduled.

Instead of the Caesars Superdome hosting in 2024, Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas was the backdrop of last year's Super Bowl game between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers.

Super Bowl 59: Eagles stars to watch in Caesars Superdome

1. Hurts has endured clunky stretches as a thrower even in more of a run-first offense, but he's been a master at situational ball control, totaling just one turnover in his seven playoff games since 2022. He's also undeniable as a short-yardage runner, with 64 career scores, including playoffs.

2. Running back Saquon Barkley has enjoyed one of the best seasons in NFL history, which also happens to be his first in Philadelphia. A prized free agent signing from the rival New York Giants last offseason, he eclipsed 2,000 rushing yards in the regular season and remains an MVP candidate. Including the playoffs, he's already logged 21 different carries of at least 20 yards.

3. Wide receiver A.J. Brown is the Eagles' top downfield threat, averaging 16 yards per catch in tandem with DeVonta Smith on the perimeter. He's hit 1,000 yards receiving in five of seven NFL seasons.

4. Offensive tackles Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson help make up one of, if not the most formidable front in the NFL. Both big men excel at moving in space, helping pave the way for an explosive ground game, while leaning on the interior push of peers like Cam Jurgens and Landon Dickerson.

5. Defensive tackle Jalen Carter, who's in just his second NFL season, has emerged as one of the league's most disruptive talents. Endlessly physical, he led the Eagles with 12 tackles for loss.

6. Linebacker Zack Baun went from offseason flyer to All-Pro stalwart under the direction of coordinator Vic Fangio. He's been around the ball on basically every Eagles takeaway, with five forced fumbles.

7. Rookie cornerbacks Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean have helped steady a once-porous Eagles secondary, pairing with veteran corner Darius Slay and ball-hawking safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson to give Philadelphia the NFL's top-ranked pass defense during the regular season.
