Who’s performing at the Super Bowl?
Jon Batiste will perform the national anthem at Super Bowl LIX, while Trombone Shorty and Lauren Daigle will perform "America the Beautiful" and Ledisi will perform "Lift Every Voice and Sing."
Kendrick Lamar will headline the Super Bowl halftime show.
Lamar will be bringing hip-hop back 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. On Sunday, he becomes the first solo hip-hop artist to headline the halftime show.
SZA will join him but few other details about the performance were revealed, bowing to a tradition in which headliners keep their plans secret.
Where is Super Bowl LIX?
Super Bowl LIX is being played at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.
New Orleans was originally supposed to host Super Bowl LVIII in 2024, but when the NFL decided to extend the regular season by a game, the move pushed the Super Bowl into conflict with the city’s Mardi Gras celebrations, so the game was moved to Las Vegas and awarded Super Bowl LIX to New Orleans for 2025, when Mardi Gras falls in March.
What time is Super Bowl LIX?
Kickoff for Super Bowl LIX will be 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, February 9, but coverage will start much earlier on FOX, FS1, and Tubi.
Who won the Super Bowl last year?
The Kansas City Chiefs won the AFC and faced the NFC champion San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII. The Chiefs won 25-22, with Patrick Mahomes taking the MVP.
The Chiefs will be going for an unprecedented three-peat this year after winning the Super Bowl each of the last two years.
