The NFL has only one more week of regular season football, which means we are a little more than a month away from the nation’s biggest sporting event: the Super Bowl.
After 17 weeks of regular season football that has seen teams defy offseason expectations — both promising and disappointing — the stage is starting to be set for the 14 teams that will battle it out in the playoffs for a chance to be one of the final two teams to play in Super Bowl 59.
As fans start to strategize their team’s way through the playoffs, here is everything you need to know about when and where Super Bowl 59 will be played.
When is Super Bowl 59?
Super Bowl 59 is scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 9, 2025.
Where is Super Bowl 59 being played?
Super Bowl 59 will be played at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
The last time the Super Bowl was played at the Superdome was Super Bowl 47 when the Baltimore Ravens defeated the San Francisco 49ers 34-31. Super Bowl 47 is also remembered as the first Super Bowl in which two brothers were the head coach of each respective team, and a power outage during the third quarter that caused the lights to go out in half of the stadium, stopping play for 34 minutes.
