When is Super Bowl 2025?
Super Bowl 59 is set to take place on Sunday, February 9, 2025. The championship game will pit the winners of the AFC (American Football Conference) against the NFC (National Football Conference) champions, vying for the prestigious Lombardi Trophy.
Last year’s game, Super Bowl 58, featured the Kansas City Chiefs edging out the San Francisco 49ers with a close score of 25-22. Football fans can look forward to another intense battle on the field as teams work toward the ultimate goal: becoming Super Bowl champions.
Where is Super Bowl 2025?
The iconic Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana will host the game. This legendary venue, home to the New Orleans Saints, is steeped in football history, having hosted 11 Super Bowls, more than any other stadium. The Superdome has also played a vital role in the city’s recovery following Hurricane Katrina, symbolizing resilience and community strength.
New Orleans is no stranger to hosting this grand event, and with its rich cultural backdrop and reputation for hospitality, the 2025 edition is expected to deliver an unforgettable experience for fans. New Orleans was originally scheduled to host Super Bowl LVIII in 2024 but was rescheduled due to a conflict with Mardi Gras after the NFL expanded the season by an additional week.
What Time is the Super Bowl?
Kickoff for Super Bowl LIX is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET, a prime time for fans across the country to gather for the game.
Which Channel Will Broadcast Super Bowl 2025?

Who’s Performing at the Super Bowl 2025 Halftime Show?
The highly anticipated halftime show will be headlined by none other than Kendrick Lamar, one of the most celebrated rappers of his generation. Lamar, a 17-time Grammy Award winner, has consistently made waves in the music industry since his debut and is known for his powerful performances and thought-provoking lyrics.
Lamar broke the news in a dramatic YouTube video, where he addressed fans directly, asking, “Will you be pulling up? I hope so.” The announcement came through a partnership between Roc Nation, Apple Music, and the NFL, all of whom have been involved in shaping the show’s production in recent years.
Lamar’s halftime performance is set to make history, with the rapper stating, “Rap music is still the most impactful genre to date, and I’ll be there to remind the world why.” Known for hits like HUMBLE., DNA., and Not Like Us—his latest track, which has topped the Billboard Hot 100—Lamar promises to bring the energy and innovation that have made him one of music’s most influential voices.
Who is Kendrick Lamar?
Kendrick Lamar Duckworth, 37, hails from Compton, California, and has been widely regarded as the “voice of a generation.” His critically acclaimed albums, including good kid, m.A.A.d city and DAMN., showcase his artistic depth and cultural insight. In 2018, Lamar became the first non-jazz, non-classical artist to win the Pulitzer Prize for music for his album DAMN., cementing his legacy as a revolutionary force in modern music.
Lamar previously performed in the Super Bowl LVI halftime show alongside legends like Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Eminem, but this will be his first time headlining the coveted stage.
Who’s Singing the National Anthem?
As of now, the performer for the national anthem at Super Bowl 59 has not yet been announced. In Super Bowl 58, country star Reba McEntire took the stage, so fans are eagerly awaiting news on who will follow her in 2025.
Super Bowl History in New Orleans
The upcoming game will mark the 11th Super Bowl hosted by New Orleans, tying it with Miami for the most Super Bowl games held in a single city. The Superdome itself will extend its record, hosting its eighth Super Bowl.
From Super Bowl IV in 1970, where the Kansas City Chiefs triumphed over the Minnesota Vikings, to Super Bowl XLVII in 2013, where the Baltimore Ravens edged out the San Francisco 49ers, New Orleans has a rich Super Bowl legacy. The 2013 Super Bowl is remembered not only for its football but also for Beyoncé’s halftime performance and the infamous power outage that delayed the game.
