And it's goodnight as the Eagles wrap it up!

With the game at 14 – 40 to the Eagles, and just two minutes left on the clock, there's little left to watch of Super Bowl 2025.

The Chiefs are pushing at Eagles' goal line but it's been a night to forget for Patrick Mahomes who's thrown more picks and been on the wrong end of more sacks than he'd care to remember.

With that, we'll leave the field of play while the players run the clock down and the Eagles start the celebrations.

We'll update you on free Super Bowl replay live streams and ways to re-watch the halftime show once we've got them. Until then it's goodnight, and congrats to Philadelphia fans.

The football doesn't have to end tonight!

It's a long, old, off-season once the clock runs down on Super Bowl 2025 but that doesn't mean you have to stop watching football.

We put together an excellent list of the 5 best football shows you should watch ahead of the Super Bowl but there's no reason why you shouldn't get stuck into them after Super Bowl 59 either.

If you haven't seen the likes of "Quarterback" and "Last Chance U" on Netflix, then you're in for a real treat. And, by the time you're done, it'll be Week 1 of next season.

Touchdown Eagles! Game over?

Wow! A big pass straight down the middle from Jalen Hurts and it's a knife through the heart of KC's hopes. 34 – 0 is the score.

Patrick Mahomes is the vision of defeat as he sits on the bench watching his three-peat dreams go up in smoke. Surely, it's too much for the Chiefs to turn this over now. Surely?

Kansas City pull six points back but it's still a very long road back.

Another 3 points for the Eagles

With around 20 minutes left on the clock at Super Bowl 2025, the Eagles pick up another three points from a field goal, stretching out their lead to 27 – 0 over the pointless Chiefs.

We're on the edge of miracle territory for those hoping for a KC comeback. What has three-time champ Mahomes got in the tank? Watch a Super Bowl live stream to find out.

Kendrick Lamar Super Bowl halftime show replay

And, for as long as it's live, here is a replay of Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show from Twitter:

'Humble', 'DNA' and a hint of 'Not Like Us'

It might not go down in history as a halftime show that blew us all away but it was a smooth, slick and professional job from Kendrick Lamar and a red leather-clad SZA at Super Bowl 2025.

Announced by Samuel L. Jackson – Uncle Samuel L. Jackson dressed, as he was in a star-spangled top hat and tails – Lamar launched into a setlist which included "Humble", "DNA", "Euphoria", "Man at the Garden", "Peekabo", "Luther", "All The Stars" and just bar or so of the anti-Drake "Not Like Us".

We'll let you know when a replay surfaces and how to watch it.

Halftime: Eagles lead Chiefs 24 – 0

Well, the Eagles have not read the script. After three touchdowns and a field goal, and an absolute stinker of a first half from Patrick Mahomes, Philadelphia lead Super Bowl 2025 by 24 – 0.

Whether the Eagles run away with it or the Chiefs stage the mother of all comebacks, this Super Bowl is history in the making. Make sure you know how to get a free Super Bowl live stream wherever you are in the world.

Two-minute warning for the halftime show!

It's nearly the moment that all non-football fans have waited for. Just a few plays left now before we can watch the Super Bowl halftime show.

Do be warned that it will take a little while to set the stage for Kendrick Lamar, SZA and guests. So, for anyone struggling to stay awake in Europe, you're going to have to hang on a little longer.

As for the production team, fair play for keeping the contents of the halftime show very much under wraps. We're all very excited!

Eagles lead – have the chatbots got it wrong?

Speaking of AI chatbots, it wasn't just the halftime show setlist that we asked about. While we were there, we asked 7 AI chatbots to predict the Super Bowl outcome — here’s the overall winner.

With the score now at Eagles 17 – 0 Chiefs, it's not quite going the way that the machines thought it would. Perhaps there's hope for humanity yet?

Kendrick's halftime setlist predictions

We're into the second quarter, taking us a little step closer to the Super Bowl halftime show. The big question for everyone is just how will Kendrick Lamar fill that 12-15-minute showcase?

As ever, the Super Bowl halftime show setlist is a closely guarded secret. So, instead of us guessing, we asked 5 AI chatbots to make their predictions.

Take a look and see what they came up with. Are they right?

Could you be watching Super Bowl 2025 in Dolby Vision?

Comcast Xfinity TV customers with the Xfinity X1 box or the Xfinity Stream app can watch Super Bowl 2025 in Dolby Vision. You'll also need a Dolby Vision-compatible TV too.

If you tick all those boxes, make sure you have the Dolby Vision picture setting enabled on your TV and then let your TV do the rest. Dolby Vision is an HDR format that makes the most of the color and contrast abilities of your TV.

Watch the Super Bowl without delay

Are your neighbors cheering even before you've seen the receiver make the catch? It sounds like you're watching Super Bowl 2025 with a bit of a delay.

There's only way to watch without any lag – with an antenna – but if you've got a choice of streaming services, we can tell you which is the one with the least delay.

WATCH SUPER BOWL LIX ON ROKU NOW!

Wondering how to get the Super Bowl on your Roku device? It's easy – especially if you take a look at our handy guide to watching the big game on Roku.

WATCH SUPER BOWL ON TUBI FOR FREE

The anthems are playing and so there's just time to watch the Super Bowl on Tubi for free.

The Fox-owned app is available on most devices and via the Tubi website.

You'll get the official Fox coverage, so you can listen to Tom Brady call the Eagles-Chiefs game. Tubi is also streaming the game in 4K.

WATCH THE SUPER BOWL NATIONAL ANTHEM

Before kickoff, of course, we'll get the national anthem sung by Jon Batiste, a Louisiana native and five-time Grammy Award-winner to perform the Star-Spangled Banner at Super Bowl 2025.

That will take place just ahead of kickoff and we've no doubt that Batiste will do himself proud.

One of the great things about the U.S. national anthem is its versatility and openness to musical interpretation, meaning that no two renditions are ever much alike. That makes comparisons easy to avoid but, still, if anyone ever tops Whitney Houston's version at Super Bowl 2025, we'll be very surprised.

1-HOUR WATCHING WARNING: SUPER BOWL KICKOFF SOON

Super Bowl 2025 kickoff is less than one hour away, now. Remember, your global Super Bowl kickoff times are:

SLEEP LIKE A SUPER BOWL–ER

Why does Travis Kelce look so fresh in his baggy, brown, Amiri suit? Because he's well rested, of course.

Like 83% of all NFL players, Kelce, and therefore very probably Taylor Swift too, sleeps on a Sleep Number smart mattress.

Smart mattresses have integrated technology to super charge your sleep. They're customizable and laced with sensors to help you sleep more comfortably and monitor what goes on inside your body overnight.

For professional athletes, who want to optimize their physical recovery and track their health metrics, they really are the ultimate choice.

So, can us mortal's afford a smart mattress too? Take a look at Tom's Guide's best mattress page and find out.

SUPER BOWL STADIUM VIRTUAL TOUR

Is TSN's obstructed wall seat, below, really the worst spot to watch at the Caesars Superdome? Go find out for yourself with a Super Bowl stadium virtual tour courtesy of Google Maps.

Check out the soaring aerial views and street-level details using Google Earth and the 3D navigation features too. It won't take long before you realise why it's the eighth time the Super Bowl has played out at this venue.

HOW NOT TO WATCH SUPER BOWL 2025?

According to TSN, this is the most obstructed seat in the stadium at Super Bowl 2025.

To be fair to the Caesars Superdome, New Orleans, though, that's actually a pretty good view given how high up, and the wall right next to it. You can see the goal line. Move your head to the side and you'll be able to watch all the end zone dancing too.

Actually TSN, the most obstructed view of Super Bowl 2025 is in Canada – one of the few countries in the world where you can't watch a Super Bowl live stream for free.

(Anyone on holiday in Canada right now can use one of the best VPN services to watch their free stream as usual.)

If you bought your TV in the last five years, there's an excellent chance it's a 4K TV. And, if that's the case, you should definitely be looking to watch Super Bowl 2025 in 4K. Why? Because the delight is in the detail.

The great news for this year is that you can watch the Super Bowl in 4K for free! That's because Fox's ad-supported streaming service, Tubi, is broadcasting a free 4K stream of Eagles vs Chiefs.

There are also quite a few other cable-free 4K streaming options from paid providers too. Take a look at all the details on our dedicated guide on how to watch Super Bowl 2025 in 4K online.

WATCHING SUPER BOWL 2025 ON YOUTUBE TV? YOU NEED THIS FIX

YouTube TV is a great way to watch the Super Bowl cable-free but it does come with one major drawback for Eagles vs Chiefs – broadcast delay. Unless you fix it, you'll probably hear your neighbours celebrating touchdowns before you've even seen them scored.

Fortunately, you can reduce broadcast delay through the YouTube TV settings to stop that from happening without having to resort to using an antenna. Don't worry, we've got a guide on just how to do that.

WHAT IS TUBI? THE FREE SUPER BOWL LIVE STREAMING SERVICE

Millions of viewers will be watching the Super Bowl on Tubi for the first time tonight but what is Tubi?

Well, given it's Fox's turn to broadcast the Super Bowl this year, it might be of little surprise to for you to learn that Tubi is owned by Fox.

It's an ad-funded streaming service that's free to watch all year round. Normally, you'll find thousands of free movies and TV shows but Fox has decided to draw plenty of attention to it this year by popping Eagles vs Chiefs on there too.

Take a look at our full explainer 'What is Tubi?' for more information.

WATCH SUPER BOWL 2025 NOW (ON MADDEN)

Looking for a way to while away the hours until Super Bowl kickoff – recreate the game on Madden 25! There's no need to reach for the gamepad. That would be cheating, after all.

Instead, crack open a cold one and see what EA's algorithms come up with. Set the two teams to work under computer control and enjoy some pretty realistic looking, ad-free, Super Bowl 2025 entertainment.

You can't pause it, though, so make sure to select appropriate length quarters, grab all the snacks you need from the kitchen and maybe visit the bathroom too. (Here's how our Madden simulation of Super Bowl 2025 panned out, if you'd rather just skip to the outcome.)

SUPER BOWL SNACKS AND SQUARES!

We're definitely getting close to Super Bowl time. The two hottest rising search terms around Super Bowl 2025 over the past four hours are 'Super Bowl squares template' and 'Super Bowl snack ideas'.

We don't have a free squares template for you on Tom's Guide – try this one – but, for snack ideas, we've got you covered:

Here are 5 Crock-Pot snacks to make for the Super Bowl, although time's running out for the Crock-Pot, so you'd better get a move on with that one.

Otherwise, these are the 3 best Super Bowl air fryer snacks for the ultimate party and the 12 best healthy snacks for weight loss in 2025 because, yes, 'healthy Super Bowl snack ideas' is also a rising search trend. Well done, America.

WHO WILL BE THE KEY PLAYER FOR THE EAGLES?

With Super Bowl less than 8 hours away, Chiefs fans will be starting the party early. Kansas remain the favorites to win the Vince Lombardi trophy but if one man can stop them, it's Saquon Barkley.

While Barkley fell 100 yards short of Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing yards record in the regular season (2,105), he's hotly-tipped to make NFL history today in the Super Bowl.

The 28-year-old (it's his birthday today) needs just 30 yards to break Terrell Davis' all-time record for the most rushing yard in a season including the playoffs. Expect him to get it done in the first quarter.

Barkley's decision to leave the Giants looks to have been a smart one – but can he continue his postseason hot streak and carry Philadelphia to victory tonight?

Here's who to watch and stream Super Bowl 2025 from anywhere in the world.

TAYLOR SWIFT, JILL BIDEN AND SNOOP DOGG LIKELY TO BE IN CROWD

Taylor Swift is a given, we know that, but we’re excited to see which other famous faces attend the game on Sunday. Former first lady and lifelong Eagles fan Jill Biden confirmed she’d be there this week, whilst Snoop Dogg has also been at some of the build up events. Fun fact, Snoop has also hosted the Puppy Bowl several times, alongside Uber Eats ad star Martha Stewart. We’d love to see them reunite at the game.

NFL COMMISSIONER 'WELCOMES' PRESIDENT TO THE SUPER BOWL

In response to the news of president Trump’s attendance on Sunday, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has said he “welcomes” the president to the game.

“We welcome the president of the United States, of course,” he told the BBC. “Having him come is something that we’re prepared for. We’ve been working with his people as well as security and making sure that we get him in and out safely and on his schedule.

“We’re looking forward to having him, and I know he’s a big football fan so I know he’s looking forward to being here.”

DONALD TRUMP SET TO ATTEND THE GAME

U.S. president Donald Trump is set to attend the game in New Orleans on Sunday, which will be the first time that a sitting president has been at the Super Bowl. With the president in attendance, and in light of the terror attacks that took place in New Orleans at New Year, security is expected to be high around the game.

Many players have been asked about the president in the run-up to the game, and some of their answers have prompted criticism among some fans who aren’t in support of Trump.

Travis Kelce said: "It's awesome. It's a great honor. No matter who the president is, I'm excited because it's the biggest game of my life. And having the president there, you know, it's the best country in the world. So, that'd be pretty cool."

Whilst Jalen Hurts said: “He's welcome to do what he wants," adding that he didn’t feel any extra pressure knowing the president would be there.

CAN I WATCH THE SUPER BOWL COMMERCIALS OUTSIDE THE U.S.?

Yep! Whilst the American ads won’t be on regular TV on channels like ITV (U.K.) or 7mate (Australia) you can get them by watching on NFL Game Pass. If you’re thinking ‘oh but that’s not free’ you’re right, but subscriptions are super cheap in the run-up to the game – we’re talking 99p/cents, so it’s pretty close to free.

Head to our guide to watching the Super Bowl to find out where you can tune in wherever you are.

Tom Brady makes his Super Bowl analyst debut

After retiring in 2023, seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady has taken up a career as TV analyst for Fox, so this Super Bowl will be his first time working as a broadcaster on the big game. Given he’s won the Super Bowl MVP title five times, we reckon he knows a little bit about it.

Brady will be alongside Kevin Burkhardt on commentary, with Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi also on field. Curt Menefee will host the Fox NFL Sunday studio show, with other experts and contributors including Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long, Michael Strahan, Jimmy Johnson and Rob Gronkowski.

Charissa Thomson will host the pregame show, joined by analyst Charles Woodson, former players Julian Edelman and Michael Vick, and reporters Peter Schrager and Kristina Pink.

If you want to hear Tom Brady’s commentary and insight from these experts, you’ll need the Fox stream, which you can get on TV and Tubi. Find out more details in our guide.

Experts to lead coverage in the U.K.

Though not quite as star-studded as the U.S. coverage – there’s no Tom Brady – U.K. viewers will get input and analysis from some NFL experts on Sunday night.

On free-to-air ITV, presenter Craig Doyle will anchor the show, and he’s going to be joined by two-time Super Bowl winner Osi Umenyiora (one of just five British-born Super Bowl winners) and Jason Bell who has played for the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants.

On Sky Sports, a paid channel, you’ll get to see Neil Reynolds hosting the show with punditry from Ndamukong Suh, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Phoebe Schecter.

Who will win the 2025 Super Bowl?

Pundits are torn, although the general consensus seems to be that the Chiefs will achieve an historic three-peat. Patrick Mahomes is in unbelievable form, as is Taylor Swift's beau Travis Kelce. But don't rule the Eagles out. Revenge (for 2023) is a strong motivator and Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, AJ Brown and co. will be looking to fly.

For what it's worth, EA games Madden simulation say the Eagles victorious while ChatCPT says it'll be Kansas City's year.

According to DraftKings, the Chiefs are favorites to win the Super Bowl on Sunday with -115 odds, whilst the Eagles are 1.5 point underdogs. The over-under total is 48.5.

In the U.K., PaddyPower have the Kansas City Chiefs at 5/6 to take the win.

This year’s Super Bowl commercials

We've already seen plenty of celebrity ads, but expect some surprises later tonight during the Super Bowl ad breaks...

  • Hellmans – Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal
  • Uber Eats – Matthew McConnaughey, Martha Stewart and Charli XCX
  • Stella Artois – Matt Damon and David Beckham
  • Dunkin’ – Ben Affleck
  • Ram – Glen Powell
  • Coffee Mate – Shanie Twain
  • HexClad – Pete Davidson and Gordon Ramsay
  • Plus loads more. Head to our Super Bowl commercials guide to watch them all and pick a fave.

Why are Super Bowl commercials so special?

With over 120 million people watching the Super Bowl in the U.S. alone, the commercial breaks are pretty much the hottest property in the advertising world, and for this reason, brands go all out. The commercials are specially made, expensive and often celebrity filled – Ben Affleck’s repeated appearances for Dunkin’ Donuts are iconic.

You can actually watch some of the Super Bowl commercials already, because when brands are spending $7-8 million on a 30-second spot (yep, that’s right) they want you to see them more than once. This year there should be about 50 special Super Bowl ads during the programming.

There’s also usually premieres for big new TV shows and movies coming up in the year ahead, and these don’t usually come out early, so you’ll have to tune in to catch them. Not in the U.S.? Fans abroad will need the NFL Game Pass to get the ads as local stations will just have local ads.

Kendrick Lamar’s setlist, and why Not Like Us might be missing

Kendrick Lamar just achieved the huge feat of winning both Song of the Year and Record of the Year at the Grammys for his single “Not Like Us”, but weirdly, the hit song might be missing from the setlist on Sunday night.

That’s because the song is a diss track about Drake, with some pretty unsavory lines about the Canadian, and it’s now embroiled in a defamation lawsuit brought by Drake. That means that there might be some legal apprehension about performing it on such a big stage on Sunday night, so Kendrick might omit it. Luckily, he has plenty of other huge hits.

The setlist is, as always, being kept pretty secret, but should feature loads of Kendrick’s best releases, reimagined and mashed-up to fit as many in as possible. But even Timothée Chalamet didn’t get any clues, so we definitely don’t have any extra intel.

To see whether Kendrick goes for “Not Like Us” or not make sure you’re streaming the show when he takes to the stage.

When Kendrick met Timmy…

The halftime show is one of the biggest draws of the Super Bowl, as it gets even non-NFL fans watching, so the promo is always big, but this year they’ve really pulled it out the bag.

That’s right, Kendrick met none other than Oscar-nominated actor (and huge rap fan) Timothée Chalamet to talk music, his career, and plans for the halftime show. They’re two of the coolest people in the entertainment industry right now, and Chalamet is gunning for Oscars success next month, so we’re sure Kendrick told him a little something about winning awards.

Who is playing the Super Bowl halftime show?

This year’s halftime show headliner is legendary rapper Kendrick Lamar, which we think is one of the coolest performers in years. As well as being the winner of now 22 Grammys, Lamar is a Pulitzer Prize winner and is widely considered one of the best modern musicians, so this should be a very special performance.

Most halftime shows tend to feature some special guests – Kendrick himself was one in 2022 – and this year we know that SZA is going to join Lamar on stage, but there should be some surprises too.

Whether you’re into the football or not, you won’t want to miss the halftime show – check out how to watch it, for free, and when it’s on in our guide.

The Super Bowl is free for millions this year

You’d think one of the biggest sporting events of the year would be a chance for broadcasters to try and pull in huge revenue, but actually, the Super Bowl is free in loads of territories this year. The Tubi deal in the U.S. means everyone can watch totally free, whether you have cable or not, and it’s free to air in the U.K. and Australia too.

Even the NFL Game Pass is super cheap ahead of the game, it’s really only pennies and gets you all the ads, movie trailers and more. Canada are the only unlucky English-speaking country, as the game is on paid services only, but if you’re visiting from somewhere it would be free, a VPN can still help you avoid taking out a subscription.

Where can I watch the Super Bowl 2025?

This year, the Super Bowl is on Fox in the U.S., which is available through most cable packages and cable-alternative services (Sling, Fubo, Hulu with Live TV etc).

The big news, though, is that the game will also stream FREE on Fox’s streaming service, Tubi. The Tubi stream will have all the usual fare like the commercials and the halftime show, and you can watch in 4K, for absolutely nothing. No excuse to miss it.

In the U.K., the game is free on TV on ITV1 and ITVX, and in Australia you’re looking at 7mate and 7plus, though these don’t have the commercials and trailers. Want the full American experience? Try the NFL Game Pass – plans are down to less than £1/$1 for the game.

Canada is the major place where the game isn’t free to air. You can watch on TSN or CTV with a cable plan, or subscribe to DAZN. Americans visiting Canada, don’t worry, you can still watch free by using a VPN.


Here’s how to watch the Super Bowl from anywhere, including how to use a VPN if you’re traveling.

Who is hosting Super Bowl LIX today?

This year, the Super Bowl is taking place at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, which is usually home to the New Orleans Saints.

The Super Bowl venue changes each year but is always in a city that has an NFL team. Different venues bid for the Super Bowl and then the various team owners select the stadium, based on various requirements. 2025 will be the 11th time that New Orleans hosts the Super Bowl.

Who is playing in the Super Bowl?

This year, the Super Bowl is the Kansas City Chiefs vs Philadelphia Eagles, the winners of the AFC and NFC Championships. It’s a rematch of the 2023 Super Bowl (won by the Chiefs) and the Kansas team’s third time in the Big Game – they could be the first team to ever win it three times in a row.
