Latest news on Super Bowl LIX 2025: Chiefs vs Eagles rematch in New Orleans, featuring Kendrick Lamar halftime show, Taylor Swift buzz, and NFL championship drama
Super Bowl LIX is set for 9 February 2025 at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, featuring a compelling rematch between the Kansas City Chiefs (15-2) and Philadelphia Eagles (14-3). The game marks a historic opportunity for the Chiefs to achieve the NFL's first-ever "three-peat" with a third consecutive Super Bowl victory, while the Eagles seek redemption from their Super Bowl LVII loss.
The matchup has generated significant controversy, with accusations of officiating bias favoring the Chiefs, particularly following their contentious AFC Championship victory over the Buffalo Bills. The relationship between Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and pop star Taylor Swift continues to polarise fans, with the game dubbed "Swiftie Bowl II". Security measures have been enhanced following the recent New Orleans truck attack, with organisers promising a safe environment.
Entertainment for the event features an all-star lineup, with Kendrick Lamar headlining the halftime show alongside SZA. New Orleans native Jon Batiste will perform the national anthem, while Post Malone will headline the pre-game tailgate concert. The game's broadcast on Fox will include the first Super Bowl presidential interview in several years, with U.S. President Donald Trump scheduled to attend, marking the first time a sitting president has attended the event.
This Super Bowl represents the eighth time the game has been played in the Superdome and the eleventh overall in New Orleans, showcasing the city's deep connection to American football's biggest event. The game's logo incorporates local artistry, featuring work by "Queen" Tahj Williams, a prominent figure in the Mardi Gras Indians community, marking the first time the NFL has collaborated with a local artist on a Super Bowl emblem.
Adding historical weight to the matchup is Chiefs head coach Andy Reid's connection to both teams, having served as the Eagles' head coach from 1999 to 2012 before leading Kansas City to multiple championships. The Chiefs' potential three-peat would echo the Green Bay Packers' achievement of three consecutive NFL championships from 1965 to 1967, though that streak preceded the Super Bowl era.
