Super Bowl LVIII is an American football game that is played to determine the champion of the National Football League (NFL) for the 2023 season. A rematch of Super Bowl LIV, it is played between the National Football Conference (NFC) champion San Francisco 49ers and the American Football Conference (AFC) champion and defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. The game is played on February 11, 2024, at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada. It was also the second Super Bowl to be decided by overtime, the first being Super Bowl LI.

This is the first Super Bowl to be held in the state of Nevada.[4][5] It marks the third straight year that the Super Bowl has been played in the Western United States, following host cities Inglewood, California, in 2022 and Glendale, Arizona, in 2023. The game is televised nationally by CBS, streamed on Paramount+, alternatively broadcast on youth-oriented sister network Nickelodeon, and televised on the Spanish-language network Univision.[6] It is also the second simulcast in Super Bowl history since Super Bowl I.[7] It is the second Super Bowl to go overtime.[8][9]

Background

Host selection

Allegiant Stadium, February 2024

On May 23, 2018, the NFL initially selected New Orleans as the site for Super Bowl LVIII. The game was part of a new awarding process implemented by the league that was introduced in Super Bowl LVI. In the past process, cities that wished to host a Super Bowl submitted bids, which were deliberated and voted upon at the league owners' meetings. The new process no longer allows cities to bid for the game; the NFL now chooses the potential candidates.[5]

In March 2020, the NFL and the NFL Players Association agreed to expand the regular season from 16 to 17 games beginning in 2021, pushing Super Bowl LVIII to February 11, 2024, and causing a conflict with New Orleans' Mardi Gras celebrations.[10] The NFL announced on October 14, 2020, that New Orleans would host Super Bowl LIX instead of Super Bowl LVIII,[11] and then announced on December 15, 2021, that Allegiant Stadium was chosen as the new site.[12]

The official logo was unveiled on February 13, 2023; it follows the updated logo template established by Super Bowl LVI, with the traditional Roman numerals featuring imagery reflecting the host city/region (in this case, the Las Vegas Strip and the Las Vegas sign). The numerals are also slanted inward to evoke the architecture of resorts such as the Bellagio and Wynn Las Vegas.[13][14]

Teams

San Francisco 49ers

Main article: 2023 San Francisco 49ers season
Brock Purdy with the Iowa State Cyclones in 2021

Under seventh-year head coach Kyle Shanahan, the San Francisco 49ers ended the 2023 season with a 12–5 record, the NFC's #1 seed, and a first-round bye.

Following the success of rookie quarterback Brock Purdy, who led them to an NFC Championship Game the previous season, the 49ers traded away Trey Lance, the third overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, and made Purdy the full-time starter.[15] In his first full season as the starter, Purdy was named to the Pro Bowl, throwing for 4,280 yards, 31 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions and finished with a passer rating of 113.0, the highest in the league.[16] The offense was also led by first-team All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey, whom the 49ers acquired midway through the 2022 season.[17] He led the league in scrimmage yards (2,023) and total touchdowns (21). San Francisco's receiving core was led by Brandon Aiyuk, George Kittle, and Deebo Samuel, all of whom surpassed over 1,000 scrimmage yards.[16] The 49ers set an NFL record by becoming the first team in league history to have four players with over 1,000 scrimmage yards.[18] The 49ers' offense finished second in the league in total offense with 398.4 yards per game, which included finishing fourth in pass yards per game (257.9) and third in rush yards per game (140.5).[19] The offensive line was spearheaded by left tackle Trent Williams, who received his third First-team All-Pro selection and his 11th Pro Bowl nomination.[20]

On defense, the 49ers finished third in the league in scoring defense, giving up 17.5 points per game, and finished first in the league with 22 interceptions (tied with the Chicago Bears).[21] San Francisco's defensive line featured Pro Bowl defensive end Nick Bosa, who led the team with 10.5 sacks, along with defensive tackle Javon Hargrave (seven sacks) and Arik Armstead (five sacks).[16] First-team All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner led the team with 132 combined tackles, four interceptions, four forced fumbles, and 2.5 sacks.[16] The secondary was led by second-team All-Pro cornerbacks Charvarius Ward (five interceptions and 72 tackles) and Deommodore Lenoir (three interceptions, 84 tackles).[16]

This marks the 49ers' eighth Super Bowl appearance. The franchise won its first five Super Bowl appearances (XVI, XIX, XXIII, XXIV, and XXIX) but has lost its last two (XLVII and LIV). Should the 49ers emerge victorious, they will be the first NFC team to win six Super Bowls and the third team overall, joining the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers.[22]

Kansas City Chiefs

Main article: 2023 Kansas City Chiefs season
Patrick Mahomes

Kansas City entered the 2023 NFL season as defending Super Bowl champions after winning Super Bowl LVII. They finished the 2023 season with an 11–6 record, their 11th consecutive winning season and eighth consecutive AFC West title under eleventh-year head coach Andy Reid, and as the #3 seed in the AFC.

In his sixth season as the starter, quarterback Patrick Mahomes had his worst statistical season in several categories, including yards per attempt (7.0), passing yards per game (261.4), interceptions (14), and passer rating (92.6).[23] His receivers struggled at several points throughout the season,[24] and going into week 18, the Chiefs led the league in dropped passes. Despite this, Mahomes set a career-high in completion percentage with 67.2% while throwing for 27 touchdowns.[25] Travis Kelce led the Chiefs in receiving yards for the fourth time in five seasons, but finished with under 1,000 receiving yards for the first time since 2015.[26] Rookie receiver Rashee Rice led the Chiefs' wide receivers with 938 yards and seven touchdowns, while second-year running back Isiah Pacheco ran for 935 yards and seven touchdowns.[27] The offensive line featured two Pro Bowl selections: guard Joe Thuney and center Creed Humphrey.[28]

The Chiefs' defensive line featured Pro Bowl defensive tackle Chris Jones, who led the team with 10.5 sacks, and defensive end George Karlaftis (10.5 sacks). The secondary was led by cornerbacks L'Jarius Sneed (two interceptions, 78 tackles, 14 pass deflections) and Trent McDuffie (80 tackles, 5 forced fumbles, 3 sacks), along with safety Justin Reid (team-high 95 tackles, 1 interception, 3 sacks).[29]

Super Bowl LVIII will be the Chiefs' sixth Super Bowl appearance and fourth in the past five seasons, all under head coach Andy Reid, and featuring quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce. The Chiefs have won three Super Bowls (IV, LIV, and LVII) and lost two (I and LV). The Chiefs have also won one pre-Super Bowl era AFL Championship, in 1962 (as the Dallas Texans). The Chiefs have the opportunity to be the first repeat Super Bowl champions since the New England Patriots in Super Bowls XXXVIII and XXXIX.[30]

Playoffs

Main article: 2023–24 NFL playoffs

As the #1 seed in the NFC, the 49ers received a first-round bye. In the NFC Divisional Round, the 49ers hosted the #7 seed Green Bay Packers. Although the Packers took a 21–14 lead heading into the fourth quarter, the 49ers rallied to win the game 24–21 thanks to a late game-winning drive led by Purdy that ended with a touchdown by Christian McCaffrey. Linebacker Dre Greenlaw sealed the game for the 49ers by intercepting quarterback Jordan Love on the Packers' final drive. This allowed the 49ers to advance to their third straight NFC Championship Game and their fourth in the last five seasons. In that game, the 49ers hosted the #3 seed Detroit Lions. The 49ers fell behind quickly, trailing 24–7 at halftime. However, the 49ers scored 27 straight points to take a 34–24 lead late in the fourth quarter. The Lions would score one more touchdown after that but would fail to recover the ensuing onside kick attempt, sending the 49ers to their second Super Bowl in five seasons with a 34–31 win.

As the #3 seed in the AFC, the Chiefs hosted the #6 seed Miami Dolphins in the AFC Wild Card Round. At this game's kickoff, the temperature was −4 °F (−20 °C), which was the fourth-coldest in NFL history. The Chiefs defeated the Dolphins easily, winning the game 26−7. The Dolphins' only points in the game came from a touchdown pass from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa to former Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill. The win saw the Chiefs play their first road playoff game in the Mahomes era, the AFC Divisional Round against the #2 seed Buffalo Bills. This game saw five lead changes between the two teams. The Chiefs were able to win 27−24 as Buffalo kicker Tyler Bass missed a potential game-tying field goal wide right in the final two minutes. With that win, the Chiefs advanced to their sixth straight AFC Championship Game, in which they played on the road against the #1 seed Baltimore Ravens. Miscues on both offense and defense doomed the Ravens; the Chiefs led 17−7 at halftime and came up with big defensive stops in the second half to win 17−10. The Chiefs won back-to-back AFC titles for the second time in the Mahomes era and advanced to their fourth Super Bowl in five seasons.

Pre-game notes

As the designated home team in the Super Bowl's annual rotation between the two conferences, the Chiefs chose to wear their red home jerseys with white pants. The 49ers wore their white away jerseys with gold pants.[31][32]

As the designated home team, the Chiefs practiced at the host team Las Vegas Raiders' practice facility in Henderson, Nevada during the week leading up to the game. The 49ers practiced at UNLV's Fertitta Football Complex in Paradise, Nevada.[33] Both teams stayed off-Strip at luxury hotels at the Lake Las Vegas resort area east of the city, with the Chiefs staying at the Westin and the 49ers staying at the Hilton.[34]

The game is a rematch of Super Bowl LIV, in which the Chiefs defeated the 49ers, 31–20. Patrick Mahomes was named the MVP of that Super Bowl. Bill Vinovich was also the referee for that game,[35] making him the first referee to preside over two Super Bowl meetings between the same teams.[36]

This game is also the first since Super Bowl LV to feature the defending champion. That game saw the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs fall to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.[37]

Taylor Swift's relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has attracted significant media attention.

The game has been dubbed by fans and media outlets as the "Taylor Swift Bowl" or "Swiftie Bowl", referencing singer-songwriter Taylor Swift and her fans, which are known as Swifties. The season broke a myriad of viewership, merchandise, and ticket sales records for the NFL, following Swift's relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and her frequent appearances at Chiefs games.[38][39][40][41] Fans who began supporting the Chiefs due to Swift's association with them have been dubbed as "Chiefties".[42]

As has been the case with the Chiefs in many nationally-televised and publicized games in the past, some Indigenous people's groups have used the high profile of Super Bowl LVIII to call on the team to change their name and for their fans to end the use of the tomahawk chop.[43]

Broadcasting

United States

Television

Super Bowl LVIII will be televised by CBS, the network's 22nd broadcast of the game.[44] It will be the first Super Bowl to be broadcast under the new 11-year NFL television contract, which begins a four-year rotation between CBS, Fox, NBC, and ABC/ESPN.[7][45] CBS will utilize 165 cameras, including six cameras embedded within the goal posts ("doink cams"), 48 cameras capable of high frame rate video (24 of which will be in 4K for zoom capabilities), and 23 cameras for augmented reality effects.[44] Additionally, robotic cameras will be placed throughout the city at The Strat, Planet Hollywood Las Vegas, Mandalay Bay, and the Renaissance Las Vegas; another camera will run on a wire over the Bellagio fountains.[44] CBS will televise the game in 1080p with high-dynamic-range (HDR) color, upconverted to 4K on selected television providers.[46] The broadcast will be produced by Jim Rickhoff and directed by Mike Arnold.[44]

CBS' coverage began in the late morning with NFL Slimetime, followed by NFL Films' Road to the Super Bowl; a documentary about the history of The NFL Today entitled You Are Looking Live!; and pregame coverage starting at 2:00 PM with The NFL Today.[44]

CBS is scheduled to air the series premiere of Tracker following the game.[47] CBS's lead broadcast team of Jim Nantz (play-by-play), Tony Romo (color commentary), Tracy Wolfson (sideline reporter), and Gene Steratore (rules analyst) will be on the call of their third Super Bowl together, joined by additional sideline reporter Evan Washburn and special teams and kicking analyst Jay Feely.[48][44] Other announcers and analysts during the pre-game will include Kyle Brandt, Nate Burleson, Bill Cowher, Charles Davis, Ian Eagle, Boomer Esiason, Jonathan Jones, Jason McCourty, Matt Ryan, Phil Simms, and J. J. Watt.[44]

After CBS sub-licensed the Spanish-language rights to its last three Super Bowl games to ESPN Deportes,[49][50] TelevisaUnivision announced in May 2023 that it had reached an agreement with CBS to carry Super Bowl LVIII via TUDN.[51][52][53] CBS will also carry Spanish commentary via SAP on the main broadcast.[54]

On August 1, 2023, CBS Sports announced that it would carry a youth-oriented alternate broadcast of the game on Paramount Global sister network Nickelodeon; the network has aired alternate broadcasts of select NFL games since 2021, but this will mark the first such broadcast for a Super Bowl.[55] Billed as Super Bowl LVIII: Live from Bikini Bottom, the broadcast will incorporate SpongeBob SquarePants-themed augmented reality effects and features (in addition to those seen on previous games aired by the network), and appearances by characters from the series (such as "analysts" SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star, along with "sideline reporter" Sandy Cheeks) accompanying announcers Noah Eagle and Nate Burleson.[56] Nickelodeon will air the series premiere of Rock Paper Scissors after the game.[57]

Advertising

CBS charged $6.5 million to $7 million for a 30-second commercial, remaining steady with the previous year's game.[58] Several health and beauty brands bought ads during the game, with analysts suggesting that these buys may have been motivated by Taylor Swift's presence at the game, and the potential increased viewership with women.[59] FanDuel stated that it would adjust a campaign it had produced co-starring Carl Weathers (as a follow-up to the "Kick of Destiny" spot from last year's game) following the actor's death on February 1, 2024.[60]

Most of the advertising time sold by CBS also included airtime on the Nickelodeon simulcast, and selected advertisers were given opportunities to participate in promotional initiatives incorporating Nickelodeon personalities. Commercials for products inappropriate for children (such as alcohol, gambling, and R-rated films) will not be carried; Paramount Global sold about 15 Nickelodeon-specific advertising slots for $200,000 to $300,000 each to replace these ads.[61][62]

Streaming

The game will be available to stream on Paramount+ in English, on TelevisaUnivision's Vix in Spanish,[63] in addition to the paid NFL+ app.[64]

Radio

Westwood One holds the national radio rights to the game, airing it on their various affiliates.[65] The broadcast team features booth announcers Kevin Harlan (play-by-play) and Kurt Warner (analyst), sideline reporters Mike Golic and Laura Okmin, and rules analyst Dean Blandino. Annually, over 25 million people listen to the Super Bowl via radio broadcast.[44]

International

In total, Super Bowl LVIII will be broadcast in over 150 countries on every continent (excluding Antarctica). Below is list of some of the countries with a broadcast of the game.[66]

Entertainment

Pregame

On January 18, 2024, the NFL announced that country music singer Reba McEntire would perform the U.S. national anthem. Actor Daniel Durant performed the national anthem in American Sign Language. In addition, rapper Post Malone performed "America the Beautiful" and R&B singer Andra Day performed "Lift Every Voice and Sing", with actress Anjel Piñero performing both songs in ASL.[75][76]

The NFL invited players and coaches from Lahainaluna High School in Lahaina, Hawaii to serve as honorary captains during the coin toss ceremony. Lahaina was one of the communities that were severely damaged during the 2023 Hawaii wildfires.[77]

Halftime

On September 24, 2023, it was announced that R&B and pop singer Usher will headline the halftime show.[78][79]
