One of the biggest annual events on the sporting calendar is almost upon us as the Super Bowl takes centre stage once again. Hundreds of millions of people around the world will tune in for the high-stakes conclusion to the 2024 NFL season, one of the most-watched and eagerly-anticipated showpieces of the year.
The Super Bowl typically combines thrilling action on the field with celebrity glitz and glamour off it, with this year’s half-time show generating a lot of excitement. The Taylor Swift factor will also be significant once again, bringing one of the biggest games in sport to an even wider audience for the second year in a row.
Here’s everything you need to know about Super Bowl 59, which is technically Super Bowl LIX with the NFL still using Roman numerals. Super Bowl LIX takes place on Sunday February 9, 2025. This year’s event takes place at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.
It is the first time the Super Bowl has come to New Orleans since 2013, when the Baltimore Ravens edged out the San Francisco 49ers 34-31 in a thriller at the then Mercedes-Benz Superdome. The city has hosted the NFL showpiece on 10 previous occasions in total, also in 2002, 1997, 1990, 1986, 1981, 1978, 1975, 1972 and 1970.
In the UK, Super Bowl LIX will begin at 11:30pm GMT, which is 6:30pm ET and 3:30pm PT in the United States. The event will last around four hours with the half-time show included, though obviously the exact time depends on the length of the game - which will be longer if overtime is needed.
