  • Where is 2025 Super Bowl? Location, date, time, TV channel, streaming for Super Bowl 59 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.

    The Superdome is an important building to the people of New Orleans and was a place of refuge for 30,000 evacuees impacted by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. They feared the stadium would need to be demolished, but they were able to reconstruct it. The stadium has also hosted events and concerts throughout the years.

    New Orleans is rich in culture and the city plans to show the football fans attending what a good time the Big Easy can be. 

    “We’re about to put on one of the largest open parties on the planet,” said Marcus Brown, who is the chair of the New Orleans Super Bowl LIX host committee.

    New Orleans is tied with Miami for most Super Bowls hosted by a city. With the eighth championship held at Caesars Superdome, the stadium is extending its own record for most Super Bowls hosted by a stadium.

    Super Bowl IV was the first Super Bowl hosted in New Orleans, taking place in 1970. The last Super Bowl hosted in New Orleans was in 2013 for Super Bowl XLVII, when John Harbaugh and Jim Harbaugh faced off in the “Harbaugh Bowl.” 

    The Baltimore Ravens defeated the San Francisco 49ers in a memorable game that also had a halftime show to remember, featuring Beyoncé and a Destiny’s Child reunion. The lights turned off after their performance, delaying the game.

    Here is a look at all Super Bowls hosted in New Orleans:

    The league announced in September that 17-time Grammy winner Kendrick Lamar will be headlining the halftime show.

  • DE Myles Garrett requests a trade from the Browns, says he wants to win a Super Bowl

    Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett has requested a trade, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. In a statement shared by Rapoport, Garrett said that his desire to win a Super Bowl was driving his decision to leave.

    “As a kid dreaming of the NFL, all I focused on was the ultimate goal of winning a Super Bowl — and that goal fuels me today more than ever. My love for the community of Northeast Ohio and the incredible fanbase of the Cleveland Browns has made this one of the toughest decisions of my life. These past eight years have shaped me into the man that I am today,” Garrett wrote.

    Garrett added that he cared more about winning a championship than about becoming an NFL Hall of Famer.

    “While I’ve loved calling this city my home, my desire to win and compete on the biggest stages won’t allow me to be complacent. The goal was never to go from Cleveland to Canton, it has always been to compete for and win a Super Bowl,” he said.

    Garrett, a six-time Pro Bowler and the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year, has spent his entire eight-year career with the Browns. The team drafted him first overall out of Texas A&M in 2017.

    This story will be updated.



    Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett has reportedly requested a trade from the team, citing his desire to win a Super Bowl.

    Garrett, who was the first overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, has been a standout player for the Browns since entering the league. However, despite his individual success, the team has struggled to make a deep playoff run.

    In a statement released by his agent, Garrett expressed his desire to play for a team that has a better chance of winning a championship. He praised the Browns organization and fans for their support but ultimately feels that a change is necessary for him to achieve his ultimate goal of winning a Super Bowl.

    The news of Garrett’s trade request has sent shockwaves through the NFL, with many teams likely to be interested in acquiring the talented pass rusher. It remains to be seen where Garrett will end up, but one thing is certain – he is determined to do whatever it takes to bring a Lombardi Trophy to his new team.

  • Rose Bowl, Home of UCLA Football, Hosts Free Concert for L.A. Emergency Responders


    Nearly a month ago, the iconic Rose Bowl, home of UCLA football, was in danger of destruction when an evacuation order was issued during the early stage of the Los Angeles wildfires.

    On Saturday, it recognized the first responders who heroically sought to tame those fires, as several artists in the music industry put on a free concert for those individuals who worked tirelessly to protect Los Angeles. Family members were also invited.

    Saturday’s concert, titled “A Concert for All First Responders,” was headlined by country star Jelly Roll and also included performances from Lainey Wilson, Nate Smith, Marshmallow, Public Enemy and Shinedown.

    It welcomed an audience of almost 16,000, represented by the LAPD, California Professional Fire Fighters, LA Sheriff’s Department, National Guard, California Conservation Corps and a number of other local first-responder departments.

    “I want you to know that you are here tonight because you are a hero or you are a loved one of a hero,” Jelly Roll said in a speech to the crowd. “And I knew the moment I was watching this go down all the way in Tennessee in my house, I thought if I got a chance to go to California, I was going to play music to everyone who worked their a– off for the last two months trying to keep the rest of this place safe. Thank you all for having me tonight — this is awesome!”

    Jelly Roll had just performed at FireAid the night before, an event that had been hosted at the Kia Forum and Intuit Dome, which raised money to support survivors and all those affected by the fires.

    The concert featured acts like Stevie Wonder, Stevie Nicks, Lady Gaga, Lil Baby, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Rod Stewart, Earth, Wind and Fire, Katy Perry, Sting, Tate McRae, Red Hot Chili Peppers, No Doubt and a number of others.

    The Rose Bowl had served as a sanctuary for first responders during the trying times of the fires. And on Saturday, it was utilized as one once again, acting as much more than a venue for diehard sports fans it has so iconically been known for throughout its long history.

    On Tuesday, the iconic Rose Bowl stadium in Pasadena, home to the UCLA Bruins football team, opened its gates to host a special free concert for emergency responders in the Los Angeles area. The event, organized as a way to show appreciation for the hard work and dedication of these brave men and women, featured performances by local artists and musicians.

    The concert, which drew a large crowd of first responders and their families, served as a way to honor their service and sacrifice, especially in light of the challenges they have faced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Attendees were treated to a night of music, camaraderie, and celebration, all against the backdrop of the historic stadium.

    The Rose Bowl, known for its storied history and iconic events, provided the perfect setting for this special gathering. As the sun set over the San Gabriel Mountains, attendees enjoyed performances by local bands and artists, as well as special guest appearances by UCLA football players and coaches.

    Overall, the concert was a heartwarming tribute to the dedication and selflessness of Los Angeles’ emergency responders. The event highlighted the important role these individuals play in keeping our communities safe and secure, and served as a reminder of the gratitude we owe them for their service.

    As the night came to a close, attendees left the Rose Bowl with a renewed sense of appreciation for the men and women who serve on the front lines every day. The concert was a fitting tribute to these unsung heroes, and a reminder of the importance of coming together as a community to support and uplift one another in times of need.

  • Vikings’ Sam Darnold puts on a show at Pro Bowl Games


    Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold put on a show at the Pro Bowl Games Thursday night in Orlando, Fla., at one point hitting six targets in a row during the “Passing the Test” event. Darnold’s 39 points were second most of participants.

    Darnold struggled hitting the five-point target the first go-around after nailing the six targets in a row, and he ultimately wasn’t able to surpass the 44 points put up by Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff. Goff, however, got extra time as his teammate, Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs, answered trivia questions to give him a longer run. And Goff is ultimately Darnold’s teammate with the NFC, which won the event as Goff’s score was the best among competitors.

    Darnold scored better than all AFC quarterbacks, who were led by Pittsburgh Steelers QB Russell Wilson’s 31 points.





    In a stunning display of skill and talent, Minnesota Vikings’ quarterback Sam Darnold shined at the Pro Bowl Games this weekend. Darnold wowed fans and teammates alike with his accuracy, arm strength, and decision-making on the field.

    Throughout the game, Darnold showcased his ability to thread the needle with pinpoint passes, connecting with receivers in tight coverage and leading his team to several scoring drives. His command of the offense was on full display as he orchestrated the offense with poise and confidence.

    Darnold’s performance at the Pro Bowl Games has solidified his status as one of the top quarterbacks in the league and has left fans eagerly anticipating what he will bring to the table in the upcoming NFL season. With his impressive showing at the Pro Bowl Games, Darnold has proven that he is a force to be reckoned with and a key player to watch in the coming season.

  • Denver Broncos’ Patrick Surtain II celebrating his season at the Pro Bowl Games


    Denver Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II isn’t one of those all-stars who’s looking to duck the Pro Bowl Games. The former Alabama All-American is taking part on Sunday for the third consecutive season.

    “I think it’s important to celebrate your accolades,” Surtain said during an appearance on FanDuel TV’s “Up and Adams.” “I think you need to celebrate the season you had. Have a good time here with the activities they have lined up for us, but also enjoy time to really talk football amongst your peers, amongst the best around the league. You won’t get that from here and there, so I think it’s a good time to really talk football with guys, but also catch up with certain guys around the league. So I think it’s a good time to spend time with family, kick it up, have fun doing and playing a game that you love at the end of the day.”

    Selection to the AFC team for the Pro Bowl Games is only one of Surtain’s honors for his 2024 performance. The Associated Press and NFL Players Association included him on their All-Pro teams, and the Pro Football Writers of America voted Surtain as All-NFL.

    The PFWA has already announced Surtain as its NFL Defensive Player of the Year for the 2024 season, and he’s a finalist for The Associated Press’ version of that award, which will be presented at the annual NFL Honors program on Thursday night.

    “I thought about it a lot,” Surtain said of the AP award. “Honestly, it’s such a surreal feeling to be mentioned amongst your peers in that way. I mean, it just goes to show you the season that I had and the goals that I had aligned in mind. And holding that trophy would be such a huge honor because not only would it be an honorable trophy, but I’ll be back in New Orleans where most of my family is from, so it would definitely be a huge honor for me and my family. And I just can’t wait to see what happens.”

    Despite his performance this season, Surtain is looking for a better one in 2025.

    “It’s always things I could improve on,” Surtain said at his end-of-season press conference after the Broncos bowed out in a 31-7 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Jan. 12, “whether it’s getting stronger, getting faster, getting quicker, little things like that, little nuances throughout my game that I could work on. But that’s like every offseason. You find little things that you could work on, and you sort of build on that.”

    In 2023, Denver finished 27th among the 32 NFL teams in scoring defense. This season, only two teams yielded fewer points than the Broncos, adding to the strength of Surtain’s credentials for postseason recognition.

    “Defensively, we set a standard for ourselves,” Surtain said, “and went out there and proved it each and every week. And that is very fundamental to our success. Obviously, the rush up front, the coverage in the back end, so I think when you tie those two pieces together, I mean, it sets you up for success. And that’s what we did the whole year.

    “And I’m looking forward to building with these guys. Obviously, this was Year 1 with a new group, and I’m excited for the future, because we’ve got a lot of young pieces that’s going to build and mature and grow in their game as well, too.”

    The turnaround on defense helped Denver reach the postseason for the first time since the 2015 campaign and Surtain to attain some personal goals.

    “Reaching that stage, I think is a huge accomplishment for us as a team,” Surtain said. “… I think we exceeded a lot of people’s expectations, but we knew what type of team we had going into the year. We was young, hungry and determined to reach that point in the season. And I think throughout the season, we had our ups and downs, but we were able to prevail and sort of set us up for success along the lines of the season. And it was good to finally reach that playoff spot. It was good for Broncos country to reach it, something we haven’t done in, what, eight years, so that was huge.

    “And, obviously, All-Pros, Pro Bowl, that’s always a goal in mind for the season to capture that. But Defensive Player, yeah, that was a goal I had in mind, but that’s something that you definitely got to work for. And I had my mindset on it that I was going to be a finalist for that and, hopefully, win it, so it was something that I envisioned, something I had in mind. And the season that I had, I think I’ve proven it to be so.”

    The Broncos posted a 10-7 regular-season record, with six of the losses coming by seven or fewer points.

    “If you look at it, we’re pretty close,” Surtain said. “A lot of those losses were one-score games, close games, so I think we’re there. It’s just about finishing, and good teams find a way to finish at the end of the day. And that’s where we need to get to because we’ve got the talent. We’ve got the right pieces, so I think the next thing we need is to hone in on finishing big-time games and knowing how to win.”





    The Denver Broncos’ star cornerback, Patrick Surtain II, is celebrating a standout season as he represents the team at the Pro Bowl Games. Surtain, a rookie sensation, has made a huge impact on the field with his exceptional coverage skills and playmaking ability.

    Throughout the season, Surtain has shown why he was a top-10 draft pick, shutting down some of the league’s best receivers and making crucial plays in key moments. His stellar performance has not gone unnoticed, as he has earned a well-deserved spot in the Pro Bowl Games.

    Surtain’s presence at the Pro Bowl Games is a testament to his hard work, dedication, and talent. Broncos fans are thrilled to see him showcase his skills on a bigger stage and represent the team with pride.

    Congratulations to Patrick Surtain II on a fantastic season and best of luck at the Pro Bowl Games! Broncos Country is behind you all the way. #Broncos #ProBowlGames #PatrickSurtainII

  • Is there an NFL game today? Full schedule, TV channels, live streams, times for 2025 Pro Bowl and Super Bowl


    The Super Bowl 59 matchup is set, with the Chiefs vying for a three-peat in a rematch of Super Bowl 57 against the Eagles.

    As we await kickoff on Sunday, Feb. 9, storylines abound. Eight teams have won back-to-back Super Bowls, but no one has won three straight. Can Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City’s unrelenting dynasty achieve that feat? 

    Or will Philadelphia pull off its redemption arc, winning its second Super Bowl in eight years? Surely Saquon Barkley, whose domineering postseason carried the Eagles through the NFC, will have a say in that outcome. 

    In the meantime, the NFL bridges the layoff with the Pro Bowl Games. An exhilarating slate of competitions — headlined by a flag football game — involving the league’s best players is set for Sunday, Feb. 2.

    Chiefs vs. Eagles overview


    USATSI

    11. Kansas City is making its third straight Super Bowl appearance, becoming the first NFL team of the modern era to have a chance at a “three-peat,” having won its last two championship bids.

    12. This is also the Chiefs’ fifth Super Bowl appearance of the last six years. They’ve advanced to — or past — seven straight AFC championships, coming within one game of matching the all-time record set by the New England Patriots from 2011-2018.

    13. Super Bowl LIX is a rematch of Super Bowl LVII, when the Chiefs played the Eagles to close the 2022 season in Glendale, Arizona.

    14. The Chiefs won that last Super Bowl meeting, 38-35, overcoming a 10-point halftime deficit to beat the Eagles on a last-minute field goal by Harrison Butker.

    15. Kansas City’s 2022 title win included a polarizing fourth-quarter penalty on the Eagles, when cornerback James Bradberry was called for pass interference against Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, enabling the Chiefs to exhaust most of the remaining clock before Butker’s field goal.

    16. The Eagles got a historic effort from quarterback Jalen Hurts in that Super Bowl. Then in just his third NFL season, Hurts totaled four touchdowns, including a Super Bowl-record three rushing scores, plus a successful two-point conversion that knotted the game at 35-35 in the closing minutes.

    17. The Chiefs entered this postseason as the AFC’s No. 1 seed, finishing with an NFL-best 15-2 record and enjoying a first-round bye in the playoffs.

    18. The Eagles claimed the NFC’s No. 2 seed with a 14-3 record, then won three straight home playoff games to reach the Super Bowl.

    19. The two teams share history at the head coaching position: Chiefs coach Andy Reid spent 14 seasons running the Eagles from 1999-2012. Current Eagles coach Nick Sirianni, meanwhile, began his NFL career as a Chiefs assistant, working for Kansas City from 2009-2012.

    20. Both teams have been prolific in terms of championship contention. Since 2004, only the Patriots have more combined playoff wins than the Chiefs (18) and Eagles (14).

    21. The Chiefs are the NFL’s gold standard with perennial Super Bowl contention, but the Eagles are also making their third Super Bowl appearance of the last eight seasons.

    Super Bowl history


    USATSI

    22. The Chiefs’ last Super Bowl win came at the end of the 2023 season, when they edged the San Francisco 49ers, 25-22, in Super Bowl LVIII, in the Las Vegas area.

    23. Prior to the Chiefs’ back-to-back titles over the 49ers and Eagles from 2022-2023, Kansas City also appeared in Super Bowl LIV (2019 season) and Super Bowl LV (2020), vying for consecutive trophies.

    24. The Chiefs won that first appearance, also against the 49ers, to cap quarterback Patrick Mahomes‘ second full season as the starter. Mahomes was named Super Bowl MVP that year, becoming one of the youngest signal-callers in NFL history to claim a Lombardi Trophy, at age 24.

    25. The Chiefs lost their Super Bowl LV appearance to close the 2020 season, however, falling 31-9 to Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Mahomes threw two interceptions under heavy pressure from Todd Bowles’ defense in that defeat, which marked Brady’s record seventh and final title.

    26. Prior to their championship bout with the Chiefs in 2022, the Eagles also reached Super Bowl LII in 2017, famously upsetting Brady and the Patriots to claim their first-ever Lombardi Trophy. Those Eagles were led by backup quarterback Nick Foles, who won Super Bowl MVP as an injury replacement.

    27. Super Bowl LIX marks the Chiefs’ seventh all-time Super Bowl appearance; they also lost Super Bowl I (1966 season) and won Super Bowl IV (1969). It also marks the Eagles’ fifth all-time appearance; they previously lost Super Bowl XV (1980) and Super Bowl XXXIX (2004).

    Chiefs stars to watch

    28. Mahomes hasn’t ranked among the NFL’s most dynamic passers in recent seasons, but he thrives in crunch time, leading the Chiefs to a record 17 straight one-score victories. His backyard-style mobility has especially come in handy during tight games.

    29. Rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy is arguably the team’s top big-play weapon thanks to his straight-line speed. He led all Chiefs receivers with six touchdown catches during the regular season.

    30. Tight end Travis Kelce, who’s finishing his 12th season, remains Mahomes’ favorite target in the passing game. He logged a career-low 8.5 yards per catch this year but led the team with 97 receptions.

    31. Defensive tackle Chris Jones remains one of the game’s premier interior defenders, leading the Chiefs’ fourth-ranked scoring defense with 61 quarterback pressures. The six-time All-Pro has also racked up nine tackles for loss, serving as the anchor to coordinator Steve Spagnuolo’s unit.

    32. Linebacker Nick Bolton is the missile at the heart of Spagnuolo’s defense, excelling not only as a run defender with a team-high 106 tackles but as a blitz artist, pressuring quarterbacks on 15% of his pass-rushing snaps. He’s also deflected six passes and logged 11 tackles in the backfield.

    33. Cornerback Trent McDuffie is the top cover man in Kansas City, leading the team with 13 pass breakups. Pro Football Focus graded him as the third-best cornerback in the NFL this year.

    34. Butker has been shakier since undergoing knee surgery in November, but he’s been money in the playoffs over the course of his career, converting 90% of postseason field goals.

    Eagles stars to watch


    USATSI

    35. 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.

    36. 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.

    37. 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.

    38. 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.

    39. 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.

    40. 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.

    41. 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.

    Key questions

    42. Will the Chiefs go heavy on the blitz? Hurts hasn’t always fared well when flushed out of the pocket, and suffered an ugly 2023 playoff loss in the face of strong pressure. Spagnuolo, meanwhile, has built a sturdy reputation when it comes to sending extra rushers at precisely the right time.

    43. Can Barkley run free (again)? All year, teams have tried and failed to contain the Eagles’ new running back. And while the Chiefs boast a top-10 run defense, they’ll also have to account for an elite group of pass weapons on the Eagles’ end, including tackle-shedding tight end Dallas Goedert.

    44. Will the Chiefs keep Mahomes upright? Kansas City also boasts a battle-tested front, with Pro Bowlers like Joe Thuney and Creed Humphrey holding things down. Carter has been a warrior in the middle, though, and the young Nolan Smith Jr. has also emerged off the edge for the Eagles.

    45. Can the Eagles match the Chiefs’ situational strategy? Reid’s creative play design does a lot to elevate an otherwise so-so crop of talent around Mahomes, whereas Sirianni and Kellen Moore’s Eagles offense has been fairly predictable, leaning mostly on the sheer star power of the players in the lineup.

    Injuries to monitor

    46. The Chiefs have endured the absence of a slew of wideouts, including 2023 standout Rashee Rice, but are otherwise healthy at the skill spots.

    47. Right tackle Jawaan Taylor, who sat out Week 18 with a knee injury, is still recovering from that ailment going into the Chiefs’ final week of practice before the big game.

    48. The Eagles are battling several bruises in the trenches, with both Dickerson (knee) and Jurgens (back) missing early practices after fighting through pain in the NFC Championship.

    49. DeVonta Smith is also nursing a hamstring injury for the Eagles, but is expected to play.

    Super Bowl odds

    50. The Chiefs opened as 2-point favorites, per SportsLine consensus odds. They are currently 1.5-point favorites over the Eagles, according to the oddsmakers.

    51. The opening Over-Under point total for Super Bowl LIX was 49.5, per SportsLine.

    52. Mahomes is the betting favorite to win Super Bowl MVP, which would be his fourth such honor. Barkley is next in line on oddsmakers’ list of favorites for the game’s top individual award.

    Miscellaneous notes


    USATSI

    53. The Eagles are the designated “home” team for the game; this designation rotates between the AFC and NFC each year. As a result, they got first choice of their uniform for the game, and elected to wear their signature Midnight Green jerseys, which they also wore against the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII.

    54. With the Eagles wearing green, the Chiefs will wear their white away jerseys. Teams wearing white jerseys in the Super Bowl are 16-4 in the last 20 title games. The only two teams to win wearing home colors over the last decade are … the Chiefs and the Eagles.

    55. Ron Torbert will serve as the game’s referee. He previously refereed Super Bowl LVI (2021).

    56. Grammy-winning singer Jon Batiste will perform the pregame national anthem, while Ledisi will sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”

    57. Lauren Daigle and Trombone Shorty will perform “America the Beautiful.”

    58. Grammy-winning rapper Kendrick Lamar will headline the halftime show.
