Super Bowl LV in Tampa is five days away and soon Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will take on Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. The Bucs booked their ticket by beating the Green Bay Packers in Lambeau, sending Bruce Arians and Brady to the big game in their first year together. Then the reigning champion Chiefs made light work of the Buffalo Bills at Arrowhead.
For the second time this season, the Bucs and Chiefs will go head to head -- this time with a Lombardi Trophy on the line. It all comes down to Super Bowl LV, the 55th annual showdown between the best of the best in the NFL. Either way, history will be made, as Brady looks to capture a seventh ring in his NFL-record 10th Super Bowl appearance and Mahomes looks to go back to back as the youngest QB to appear in consecutive Super Bowls.
How can you tune in? Where can you stream it? Who's expected to win?
We've got answers to all your Super Bowl questions, right here, right now:
Who's in the Super Bowl?
This year's championship will be played between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Chiefs will be making their fourth-ever Super Bowl appearance, representing the AFC (then the AFL) in Super Bowl I against the Packers, then returning to the big game in the 1969 and 2019 seasons. The Bucs will be making just their second Super Bowl appearance in franchise history, and their first in 18 years.
How did they get here?
The Chiefs are no strangers to the Super Bowl, having won it just last season. But this year, they were arguably even more dominant, seemingly going half-speed en route to a 14-2 finish, with Patrick Mahomes returning to the MVP race to help Kansas City lock up the AFC's No. 1 seed. With an opportunistic defense under Steve Spagnuolo and an offense loaded with the league's most reliably explosive weapons -- from Mahomes to Tyreek Hill to Travis Kelce to, heck, even Mecole Hardman -- they fended off a feisty Browns team in the divisional round despite a late head injury to Mahomes, then cruised past the Bills at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday night, claiming their second AFC title in as many seasons.
The Buccaneers haven't played on Super Sunday since Brad Johnson, Mike Alstott, Simeon Rice, Derrick Brooks and John Lynch were starring on their team back in 2002. But this year, unlike any other before, they had Tom Brady. At 43, Brady hasn't been perfect, but he's certainly still been dropping dimes, carrying momentum from a 40-touchdown regular season, when Tampa Bay went 11-5 in its second year under coach Bruce Arians, into the playoffs. After edging Washington in the wild-card round and then riding a big defensive showing over the Saints in New Orleans, the Bucs outdid Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay to claim the NFC title, with Brady throwing deep early and often to give Tampa a two-score lead that the Packers could never surmount.
What happened when they last played?
Great question! And how observant of you, knowing that the Chiefs and Buccaneers met earlier this season -- in Week 12, to be exact. When the two sides clashed then, on Nov. 29, the Chiefs went up big early on, taking a 17-0 lead as Tyreek Hill exploded past Tampa Bay's secondary, but the Bucs pulled within three in the fourth quarter thanks to some of Brady's own magic. Ultimately, Andy Reid and Co. sealed the victory, 27-24.
When is the Super Bowl?
Super Bowl LV will be played on Sunday, Feb. 7, with kickoff slated for
6:30 p.m. ET.
Where is the Super Bowl?
Super Bowl LV will be played at Raymond James Stadium, home of the Buccaneers, in Tampa, Florida.
This will be the first-ever Super Bowl where one of the participating teams is playing in its own stadium. Raymond James Stadium will be making its third Super Bowl appearance, having hosted before at the end of the 2008 and 2000 seasons. It will be the fifth time that Tampa has played host to a Super Bowl, with the since-demolished Tampa Stadium first holding the big game back in January 1984.
