When is Super Bowl 59? Date, time, stadium, channel and more

Super Bowl 59 is fast approaching, and the list of contenders is getting slimmer every weekend as each round plays out.

Will quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs win it all for a third straight season? Or could other top contenders in the AFC – like the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills – prevent them from a third straight AFC title?

In the NFC, the Detroit Lions have a chance to make a second straight trip to the conference championship game after securing the No. 1 seed. But the potent offense of the Los Angeles Rams or one of Detroit’s NFC North rivals – either the Minnesota Vikings or Green Bay Packers – could stand in their way.

When is the Super Bowl?

This year’s Super Bowl will kick off on Sunday, Feb. 9.

Where will the Super Bowl be played?

New Orleans will host the Super Bowl this year. It is the eighth time the Big Game will take place in the Caesars Superdome in the stadium’s 50-year history, more than any other NFL stadium.

Initially, in 2018, the Superdome was chosen as the host stadium for last year’s Super Bowl. After the NFL expanded its regular season to 17 games in 2020, the original date of the Big Game in 2024 was pushed back one week, which would have interfered with Mardi Gras celebrations in the Big Easy. As a result, the NFL moved Super Bowl 58 to Las Vegas and pushed New Orleans’ host status back one year.

It’s been 12 years since the Superdome last hosted a Super Bowl. The San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens squared off in New Orleans in 2013, the year that the game was delayed partway through when, infamously, the stadium lights went out early in the second half. Baltimore came out on top in Super Bowl 47, 34-31.

What time will the Super Bowl start?

This year’s Super Bowl will kick off at 6:30 p.m. ET on Fox.

Who is performing the Super Bowl halftime show this year?

Hip-hop star Kendrick Lamar will perform the halftime show for Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans.

Jay-Z-founded entertainment company Roc Nation, along with the NFL and Apple Music, announced Lamar would be this year’s Super Bowl halftime show performer on Sunday, Sept. 8, 2024, the same day as Week 1’s Sunday slate of games. Lamar also posted a YouTube video to help promote the news.

The 37-year-old Los Angeles native previously performed during the Super Bowl halftime show in Los Angeles in 2022, alongside other hip-hop artists Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and 50 Cent, among others. It’s possible that Lamar performs with other artists in this halftime show as well, but he will be the main act.
