Super Bowl LIX was an American football championship game between the National Football Conference (NFC) champion Philadelphia Eagles and American Football Conference (AFC) champion Kansas City Chiefs to decide the National Football League (NFL) champion for the 2024 season. In a rematch from Super Bowl LVII, the Eagles defeated the Chiefs 40–22, securing their second Super Bowl championship since Super Bowl LII seven years earlier. The Eagles' win prevented the Chiefs from achieving the first-ever Super Bowl three-peat. Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts was named the Super Bowl Most Valuable Player (MVP).

The game was played on February 9, 2025, at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. It was the eighth Super Bowl played in the Superdome, and the 11th overall played in New Orleans; the most recent Super Bowl in New Orleans prior to this was Super Bowl XLVII in 2013, held in the same venue. The game was televised in the United States by Fox and streamed on Tubi.

Background

Host selection

Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, the venue for Super Bowl LIX

On May 23, 2018, the league originally selected New Orleans as the site for Super Bowl LVIII, then tentatively scheduled for February 4, 2024. In March 2020, the league and the NFLPA agreed to expand the regular season from 16 to 17 games starting in 2021, pushing Super Bowl LVIII to February 11, 2024, and causing a conflict with New Orleans's Mardi Gras celebrations. On October 14, 2020, the league decided to move Super Bowl LVIII to another city (Las Vegas was later chosen) and awarded Super Bowl LIX to New Orleans instead, as Mardi Gras in 2025 is not until March 4, thus avoiding any conflicts.

The official logo for Super Bowl LIX was unveiled on February 12, 2024, and follows the logo template established since Super Bowl LVI, with the Roman numerals featuring imagery representing the host city/region. The Roman numerals contain artwork by local artist "Queen" Tahj Williams—a figure in the community of Mardi Gras Indians. It marks the first time the NFL has collaborated with a local artist on the design of a Super Bowl emblem.

The design was created with beads, and features Mardi Gras–inspired red-, green-, and gold-colored fleur-de-lis patterns, a symbol long connected with New Orleans and used as the logo for the New Orleans Saints, evoking designs of ironwork balconies typical in the city's architecture, especially in the French Quarter.

Slogan

On February 3, 2025, league officials announced that the "End Racism" slogan, which debuted at the end zone of Super Bowl LV, will be reworded to "Choose Love" during the game. The slogan "It Takes All of Us" remained in the end zone. Goodell had earlier reaffirmed his league's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts despite efforts at such having been scaled back by a number of other American corporations since 2024.

Super Bowl week events

Super Bowl Opening Night was held at the Superdome on February 3, while the Super Bowl Experience was hosted by the New Orleans Morial Convention Center. A two-day cultural festival was hosted in the French Market.

The Super Bowl LIX Host Committee hosted a special Mardi Gras–styled parade through the French Quarter on the Saturday before the game. The parade featured appearances by the LSU, Tulane, and Marine Corps marching bands, themed floats representing the participating teams (featuring mascots, cheerleaders, and family members of players), and contributions from various krewes and organizations associated with Mardi Gras in New Orleans—including the Baby Doll Ladies, Mardi Gras Indians, Endymion, Orpheus, and Bacchus (whose float carried grand marshal Todd Graves). Unlike the official Mardi Gras parades, this parade would be underwritten by various sponsors (including sponsorship of specific floats and contingents, and a hitch of Budweiser Clydesdales participating in the parade themselves); city ordinances prohibit parades held during the official Mardi Gras period (which begins February 21) from having corporate sponsorships.

Teams

Kansas City Chiefs

Patrick Mahomes (51616333995)
In Super Bowl LIX, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs were attempting to win their third consecutive Super Bowl and achieve an unprecedented three-peat of Super Bowl victories.

The Kansas City Chiefs entered Super Bowl LIX with a Super Bowl victory the previous two seasons, attempting to become the first NFL team to win three Super Bowls in a row. Under head coach Andy Reid, the Chiefs finished the regular season 15–2, tied with the Detroit Lions, recording the best regular season record in the NFL.

Despite the Chiefs going 15–2, however, the team's quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, had a relatively down year in relation to prior seasons, missing the 4,000-yard passing mark for the first time as a starter. It was the first year of his tenure as a starting quarterback in which he was not elected to the Pro Bowl. However, he had seven game-winning drives, tied for second-most of all time. Tight end Travis Kelce led the team in receiving yards (823), while running back Kareem Hunt led the team in rushing yards (728). Wide receiver Xavier Worthy had a productive rookie season with 742 yards and nine touchdowns. The Chiefs acquired wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins in a mid-season trade with the Tennessee Titans; Hopkins had 437 receiving yards and four receiving touchdowns in five starts. The offensive line included Pro Bowlers Joe Thuney, Creed Humphrey, and Trey Smith, with Thuney and Humphrey also being selected to the AP All-Pro team.

The Chiefs' defense was headlined by All-Pros defensive tackle Chris Jones (5.0 sacks) and cornerback Trent McDuffie (two interceptions). Other notable players include George Karlaftis (8.0 sacks), Nick Bolton (106 tackles), and Justin Reid (87 tackles). They were a top-four defense for the second straight year under defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo.

Super Bowl LIX marked the seventh Super Bowl appearance for the Chiefs, who won Super Bowls IV, LIV, LVII, and LVIII, while losing Super Bowls I and LV. They played in the Super Bowl four times in the past five seasons, winning three of them. The Chiefs became the first team to win two consecutive Super Bowls and play in a Super Bowl the following season; the previous eight teams to win two consecutive Super Bowls failed to appear in the game for a third consecutive season. They attempted the first ever "three-peat" of three consecutive Super Bowl wins (with the league securing a trademark license from Pat Riley to allow the use of the word commercially), the first time the same team would have won the NFL Championship three times in a row since the Green Bay Packers achieved the feat from 1965 to 1967, which included their wins of the first two Super Bowls.

Philadelphia Eagles

Jalen Hurts, quarterback of the Philadelphia Eagles, led the Eagles to the Super Bowl for the second time in his career, after Super Bowl LVII in the 2022 NFL season.

Under head coach Nick Sirianni, the Philadelphia Eagles improved upon their 11–6 record in 2023, going 14–3. This was Philadelphia's fifth Super Bowl appearance, following a win in Super Bowl LII and losses in Super Bowls XV, XXXIX, and LVII.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts had an efficient season, with career highs in completion percentage, yards per attempt, passer rating, and only five interceptions. However, he only attempted 361 passes due to the high workload from first-team All-Pro RB Saquon Barkley, who became the ninth player in league history with 2,000 rushing yards in a season. Hurts also missed the final three games in the regular season due to a concussion and broken finger, but he returned for the playoffs. The Eagles receiving corps included second-team All-Pro WR A. J. Brown (1,079 yards), WR DeVonta Smith (833 yards), and TE Dallas Goedert (496 yards). The offensive line was one of the best in the league, with Cam Jurgens, Landon Dickerson, and Lane Johnson making the Pro Bowl, as well as Johnson and Jordan Mailata being selected as All-Pros.

Under defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, the Eagles had the top-ranked defense in the NFL, headlined by ILB Zack Baun (151 tackles, five forced fumbles, 3.5 sacks). The defensive front consisted of All-Pro DT Jalen Carter (4.5 sacks), DT Milton Williams (5.0 sacks), OLB Josh Sweat (8.0 sacks), and OLB Nolan Smith (6.5 sacks). The secondary had multiple key contributors, including rookie CBs Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean, safeties Reed Blankenship and C. J. Gardner-Johnson, and veteran CB Darius Slay.

Playoffs

The Chiefs entered the playoffs as the No. 1 seed in the AFC and earned a first-round bye. In the Divisional Round, they defeated the Houston Texans, 23–14. In the AFC Championship Game, the Chiefs beat the Buffalo Bills, 32–29, making it the fourth time in five seasons that the Chiefs defeated the Bills in the playoffs. The victory was with some controversy, particularly with a disputed spotting of the ball that ended a Bills drive with a turnover on downs, giving the Chiefs the opportunity for the go-ahead score.

The Eagles went into the playoffs as the No. 2 seed in the NFC. In the Wild Card Round, they defeated the Green Bay Packers, 22–10. In the Divisional Round, the Eagles defeated the Los Angeles Rams, 28–22. The Eagles went on to defeat the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game, 55–23, setting a record for the most points scored in a conference championship game.

Broadcasting

United States

Television

Super Bowl LIX was scheduled to be televised in English by Fox, with game commentary called by play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt, color analyst Tom Brady, sideline reporters Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi, and rules analyst Mike Pereira. Studio coverage will be provided by the network's Fox NFL Sunday crew, with Curt Menefee hosting, Terry Bradshaw, Rob Gronkowski, Howie Long, Michael Strahan, and Jimmy Johnson providing analysis, and Jay Glazer contributing insider reports. This was the second Super Bowl to be broadcast under the 11-year NFL television contract as part of the four-year rotation between CBS, Fox, NBC, and ABC/ESPN. On October 14, 2024, it was announced that both Fox Deportes and Telemundo would air separate Spanish-language feeds of the game for the first time.

Fox used over 140 cameras, including a new 4K, 240 Hz model from Sony as its high skycam. The lower skycam employed the use of lidar and simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) technology to provide more precise tracking of its position, data which will primarily be used to improve the performance of augmented reality (AR) graphics. Fox will produce the game in 1080p high definition with HLG high-dynamic-range color, upconverted to a 4K ultra-high-definition feed available through participating television and streaming providers. Comcast announced that it would carry the game in Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos surround sound on Xfinity. On broadcast television, Gray Media announced it would carry the game in Dolby Vision and HDR10+ on its Fox affiliates that offer ATSC 3.0 signals, including New Orleans' WVUE-DT.

Tom Rinaldi

The season 3 premiere of Fox's game show The Floor aired following the game. Beginning in January 2025, the Fox series Kitchen Nightmares aired a series of "Road to Super Bowl LIX" episodes during the first half of its ninth season, which primarily featured restaurants in the New Orleans area, and featured guest appearances by NFL players and personalities. As part of its Super Bowl week programming, Fox scheduled special broadcast television airings of the Fox Sports 1 lineup of weekday studio programming (including The Herd with Colin Cowherd among others) from New Orleans on February 7.

Advertising

In August 2024, prior to the beginning of the 2024 NFL regular season, Fox announced that it had sold out most of its available advertising slots for Super Bowl LIX. The 30-second ad slots were priced at $7 million each. This sale included the main event inventory and additional slots typically reserved by the network.

In January 2025, some advertisers, including State Farm Insurance, withdrew as advertisers, citing unexpected commitments emerging from the 2025 California wildfires. This allowed Fox to resell these ad slots at a higher rate. According to reports, several of the newly available slots were sold for $8 million each. Interest in advertising extended to the pregame coverage of the event. Traditionally, ads during this segment sold for around $2 million for 30-second slots. For Super Bowl LIX, prices rose to $4.5 million for these slots, reflecting increased demand.

Ye bought a regional slot to run an ad in which he promoted his website from a dentist's chair. Once viewers reached his website, they could see white T-shirts with black swastikas for sale.

Universal Pictures, Disney, Warner Bros. and Paramount Pictures promoted their upcoming films during the game, including Jurassic World Rebirth, How to Train Your Dragon, M3GAN 2.0, Lilo & Stitch, Thunderbolts*, Captain America: Brave New World, F1, Sinners, Novocaine, Smurfs and Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.

Streaming

On January 15, 2025, Fox announced that Super Bowl LIX would stream in English and Spanish on Tubi, Fox Corporation's free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) platform, for the first time, thereby returning the game to free Internet television without a paywall or TV Everywhere requirement; most other networks except Fox have paywalled the stream since Super Bowl LVI. Tubi streamed a digital-exclusive pre-game show hosted by Olivia CulpoTubi Red Carpet at Super Bowl LIX—which will focus on pop culture topics relating to the game (such as celebrity attendees, and activities around New Orleans landmarks). Emulating the traditional linear television lead-out, the Tubi app will direct viewers to the first episode of its original sitcom The Z-Suite, which premiered earlier in the week, following the conclusion of the telecast.

The game will also be available for free on the NFL's apps.

Radio

Westwood One held the national radio rights to the game in English, with play-by-play announcer Kevin Harlan, color analyst Kurt Warner, sideline reporter Laura Okmin, and rules analyst Gene Steratore on the call. Scott Graham hosted studio coverage along with analysts Devin McCourty and Ross Tucker. Entravision carried the game nationally in Spanish, with Ricardo Celis and Tony Nuñez announcing.

In the home markets of the two teams, the game was broadcast on their flagship radio stations with their local announcers. 96.5 The Fan aired the Chiefs' call of the game with Mitch Holthus, Danan Hughes, and Josh Klinger, while 94 WIP carried the Eagles' call with Merrill Reese and Mike Quick.

Entertainment

Pregame

Fox broadcast its pre-game show from a parade float-inspired stage on Bourbon Street; in regards to the aftermath of the January 1 truck attack, Fox Sports president of production Brad Zager stated that "[we] felt stronger about the fact that we have to show the country that Bourbon Street's okay, that we owe it to Bourbon Street and we owe it to New Orleans to show that that event isn't going to stop the spirit of Bourbon Street".

During its pre-game show, Fox aired an interview between Fox News anchor Bret Baier and President Donald Trump, resuming a tradition of Super Bowl presidential interviews that had been put on hold during Joe Biden's administration. Trump was the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl.

Post Malone headlined a tailgate party concert outside the stadium sponsored by YouTube.

Jon Batiste performed the U.S. national anthem, Trombone Shorty and Lauren Daigle performed "America the Beautiful", and Ledisi performed "Lift Every Voice and Sing". Stephanie Nogueras and Otis Jones IV provided American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation.

Halftime

Rapper Kendrick Lamar, who previously co-headlined the Super Bowl LVI halftime show in 2022, headlined the halftime show. SZA was a guest in the show. Actor Samuel L. Jackson made a surprise cameo as Uncle Sam, as did retired tennis player Serena Williams as a background dancer. Matt Maxey, Alexis Kashar, and Howard Rosenblum provided American Sign Language (ASL) for the halftime show.

Game summary

First half

A.J. Brown 2021 09-19
A. J. Brown (pictured in 2021) scored on a 12-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Jalen Hurts, which extended the Eagles' lead to 24–0.

After the Chiefs won the coin toss and deferred possession to the second half, the Eagles received the opening kickoff, which was a touchback. The Eagles' initial drive took six plays to gain 20 yards to midfield; however, an offensive pass interference call on A. J. Brown negated a 32-yard pass on fourth down, forcing them to punt. After a 53-yard punt by Braden Mann, the Chiefs' drive began on their own 12 following a 5-yard return by Nikko Remigio.

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed his first pass 11 yards to JuJu Smith-Schuster for a first down before the Chiefs went three-and-out and punted on their own 24. After a 58-yard punt by Matt Araiza, the Eagles started their second drive on their 31 following a 13-yard return by Cooper DeJean. Subsequently, the Eagles put together a 7-play, 69-yard touchdown drive that included a 20-yard pass to Dallas Goedert. Although Jahan Dotson caught a pass what was initially signaled a touchdown, he was ruled short of the goal line; regardless, Jalen Hurts scored on a 1-yard quarterback sneak touchdown.

After another punt by the Chiefs, the Eagles got to the Chiefs' 30-yard line on an 11-play drive that ended with an interception thrown by Hurts to Bryan Cook at the Chiefs' 2-yard line at the start of the second quarter. Despite this, the Chiefs went three-and-out again and after a Jake Elliott 48-yard field goal, Mahomes threw an interception to DeJean, who returned it 38 yards for a touchdown. Both teams then traded punts before Mahomes threw another interception to Zack Baun shortly after the two-minute warning, which set up a 12-yard touchdown pass from Hurts to Brown, extending the Eagles' lead to 24–0 before halftime.

Second half

DeAndre Hopkins 2020
DeAndre Hopkins (pictured in 2020) caught a touchdown and a two-point conversion pass for the Chiefs in the fourth quarter.

The second half began with an Eagles kickoff, which resulted in a touchback. Despite gaining a first down with a pass to Xavier Worthy, Mahomes was sacked twice in the next two plays and the Chiefs' drive stalled at their own 37. The Eagles responded by driving down the field 69 yards, including a 16-yard and 14-yard run by Hurts, which ended with a 29-yard field goal from Jake Elliott.

The Chiefs' next drive took them five plays and 17 yards to their own 47-yard line. Facing a fourth down, a pass from Mahomes to DeAndre Hopkins fell incomplete, resulting in a turnover on downs. On the next play, Hurts threw a 46-yard touchdown pass to DeVonta Smith, increasing the Eagles' score to 34. However, the Chiefs responded with a 24-yard touchdown pass from Mahomes to Worthy at the end of the third quarter, but the two-point conversion from Mahomes to tight end Travis Kelce was unsuccessful.

In the fourth quarter, after a 48-yard field goal from Elliott, Mahomes fumbled the ball on a strip sack by Milton Williams, which was recovered by Williams himself at the Chiefs' 18-yard line. Although an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty was called on Williams, Elliott converted a 50-yard field goal attempt, making the score 40–6. Mahomes then threw what would have been a third interception to C. J. Gardner-Johnson who returned it for a touchdown; however, an offsides call on the Eagles' Jalen Carter negated this. Later in the drive, Mahomes threw a 7-yard pass to DeAndre Hopkins for a touchdown; the corresponding 2-point conversion from Mahomes to Justin Watson was successful. After an Eagles turnover on downs, Mahomes responded with a 50-yard touchdown pass to Worthy and another successful 2-point conversion with a pass to Hopkins, cutting the Chiefs' deficit to 18 points for a 40–22 score. A subsequent onside kick was recovered by the Eagles, who ran out the clock. Hurts was named the Super Bowl MVP after completing 17 of 22 attempts for 221 yards with two touchdowns and an interception, while running for 72 yards and a touchdown.

Officials

Super Bowl LIX featured seven officials, a replay-official, a replay assistant, and eight alternate officials. The numbers in parentheses below indicate their uniform numbers.

This marked the second time Torbert has served as a referee for a Super Bowl, as he also did so in Super Bowl LVI. Morton was the second official to work a Super Bowl after participating in one as a player (joining Terry Killens in Super Bowl LVIII), and the first to do so after winning a Super Bowl. Morton won Super Bowl XXXIV as a linebacker with the St. Louis Rams.
