It’s the biggest night of the football season; for some, it is the biggest night of the year. Held on the second Sunday in February, the Super Bowl is the dramatic climax of the NFL calendar.
Anticipation for the big day starts building from the end of the regular season at the beginning of January. During four rounds of playoffs that follow to decide the final fixture, excitement grows with each day that passes.
Unlike other major sporting events, interest in the Super Bowl goes far beyond that of franchise fans and regular followers. In the 21st century, over 100 million people from all around the world watch the Super Bowl.
For some, it’s the sport; for others, it’s the occasion; for even more, it’s the spectacle. Seeing the athletes’ skills and discovering who becomes champions is just the start of the Super Bowl’s appeal.
Away from the game, other highly anticipated moments include the release of specially created TV adverts that get everyone talking. Then, there are the 15 minutes that millions consider even more important than the sport itself—the Super Bowl Half-Time Show.
Who Could Win in 2025?
While are 14 teams in the playoffs, only a handful are considered serious contenders for winning the Super Bowl. Of course, one question on everyone’s lips is—can the Kansas City Chiefs pull off the “three-peat”?
Since 1966, eight teams have earned back-to-back titles on football’s biggest stage, but none have achieved three in a row. Experts like DraftKings Sportsbook are constantly updating Super Bowl odds for the Chiefs making history or other teams denying them.
So, according to the predictors—who will walk away with the big prize at Super Bowl LIX on February 9, 2025?
- Kansas City Chiefs
Winners in 2022 and 2023, the Chiefs chance for an unprecedented “three-peat” is the most talked about NFL topic. Having topped the AFC West division with 15 wins from 17, things are again looking positive for the Missouri team..
- Detroit Lions
If the experts are tipping anyone to take the Chiefs’ momentous moment away from them, it’s the Lions. Topping the NFC North division despite big name injuries, the Detroit outfit are many people’s favorites for the win.
- Baltimore Ravens
Led by double-threat MVP Lamar Jackson, AFC North winners the Ravens have arrived at the playoffs in excellent form. How Baltimore will perform in the crunch is hotly debated, but these could be the surprise package of 2025.
- Buffalo Bills
New Yorks’ Bills haven’t lost at home in the regular season, and won’t play away unless they face the Chiefs. That could easily put this explosive team just 60 minutes from the Superdome, and a genuine shot at the championship.
- Philadelphia Eagles
Finally on the serious contender list of most commentators are NFC East winners, the Eagles. Though an injury to quarterback Jalen Hurts is a concern, many believe the Philadelphia franchise could pull-off an underdog victory.
The best of the rest and dark horse for a shock run might be the NFC North winners, Minnesota Vikings. If Kevin O’Connell and Brian Flores can rally from their season finale defeat, this team could rewrite the playoff script.
Making up the pack this year are the Washington Commanders, Los Angeles Chargers, Los Angeles Rams, and Green Bay Packers. Behind them are the real outsiders: Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Houston Texans, Denver Broncos, and Pittsburgh Steelers.
Of course, every playoff qualifier theoretically has a chance, and the magic of sport is that anything can happen.
Where is Super Bowl LIX?
For the eighth time since 1978, the 2025 Super Bowl will be held at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. Over 70,000 are expected to attend, including a host of celebrities who’ll compete with the players for camera time.
Who Will Be there?
If the Chief’s make it, Taylor Swift is almost guaranteed to cheer on her tight end boyfriend, Travis Kelce. The rest of the guestlist is TBC, but 2024 saw A-listers including Jay-Z, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, and Kim Kardashian.
What Is the Half-Time Show?
Confirmed as the star of the 2025 Super Bowl Half-Time Show is the multiple Grammy-winning hip hop superstar, Kendrick Lamar. Just as Lamar performed with Dr. Dre, Eminem, and Snoop Dogg in 2022, several huge-name guests are also expected.
What Ads Will Be Shown?
Paying for the world’s most expensive TV ad-slots this year will be Pringles, Nyx Cosmetics, DoorDash, Bosch, TurboTax, and more. Expect blue-chip celebrity appearances, big-budget creations, and more than likely a little controversy from the must-watch, bespoke promos.
When Will More Be Revealed?
With the Super Bowl on February 9, you can expect more exciting information to be released in the run up. As the anticipation builds, keep a close eye on the news and sportsbooks to be first in the know.
