No. 3 Kansas City Chiefs vs. No. 1 Baltimore Ravens - Super Bowl LVIII

Sunday, February 11, 6:30 p.m. on CBS, Nickelodeon

Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas, Nevada (Tickets)

Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs have clawed their way to a second consecutive Super Bowl, but this time they did it from the Wild Card Round. In 2023, the Chiefs were the No. 1 seeded AFC team, and earned a bye into the Divisional Round. Now Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey and the 49ers will try to win the Lombardi Trophy from the same team they faced, and lost to, at Super Bowl LIV.

The 49ers have fluctuated between a 1.5- and 2.5-point favorite ahead of the game. The storylines headed into the game? Is Patrick Mahomes the new GOAT? Can Andy Reid secure his spot among an elite group of head coaches with three Super Bowl wins? Will Brock Purdy complete his rise from irrelevant draft pick to Super Bowl-winning quarterback?

This is the first time that Allegiant Stadium, home to the Las Vegas Raiders, has ever hosted a Super Bowl. Stream on fuboTV, DirecTV Stream, Paramount+, Hulu + Live TV.
