Super Bowl LIX
Super Bowl LIX was an American football championship game played between the American Football Conference (AFC) champion and two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs and the National Football Conference (NFC) champion Philadelphia Eagles. This game would determine the champion of the National Football League (NFL) for the 2024 season. In a rematch of Super Bowl LVII which was played two years prior, the Eagles defeated the Chiefs 40–22. The game was played on February 9, 2025, at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. It was the eleventh Super Bowl played in New Orleans, and the eighth in the Superdome. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was named Super Bowl MVP after scoring three total touchdowns (two passing, one rushing) and setting the Super Bowl record for rushing yards by a quarterback with 72.
The Chiefs finished the regular season with a 15–2 record (tied for league best). Kansas City's seventh Super Bowl appearance, the franchise entered the game in a bid to achieve the first Super Bowl three-peat, having won Super Bowl LVIII in 2024 and Super Bowl LVII in 2023. The Eagles posted a 14–3 record with the aid of an improved offense and the league's top-ranked defense, making their fifth Super Bowl appearance.
Although Super Bowl LIX was expected to be a close contest, the Eagles dominated throughout the game. The Chiefs did not score until the waning moments of the third quarter, gaining only 23 yards in the first half, the second-lowest first-half yardage in Super Bowl history. Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes struggled throughout, being sacked a career-high six times, all while the Eagles' defense did not employ any blitzes. He committed three turnovers, including a 38-yard pick-six by Cooper DeJean, who became the second rookie in Super Bowl history to achieve such a feat. Philadelphia took advantage of their powerful defensive performance and Kansas City's offensive struggles to build an insurmountable 34-point lead by the third quarter. The Eagles held a 40–6 lead in the final five minutes before the Chiefs had two late scores, occurring after many of the Eagles’ starters had exited the game.
This was the Eagles' second Super Bowl victory, following their first in Super Bowl LII seven years earlier, and their fifth NFL championship. The Chiefs suffered their third Super Bowl loss in franchise history, following losses in Super Bowl I and Super Bowl LV.
The game was televised in the United States by Fox and streamed on Tubi. Super Bowl LIX became the most watched broadcast in American television history, with an average of 127.7 million viewers in the United States, breaking a record set by the previous year's Super Bowl. An average of 14.5 million viewers came from streaming platforms. The halftime show, headlined by Kendrick Lamar, became the most watched of its kind with a television audience of more than 133.5 million viewers, breaking a record set by that of Super Bowl XXVII featuring Michael Jackson. It was also the first Super Bowl to be attended in-person by a sitting U.S. president (Donald Trump).
Super Bowl LIX is considered to be one of the worst Super Bowls by several sports outlets, who noted its one-sidedness throughout. However, the Eagles' defensive performance was widely praised as one of the best in the game's history.
On May 23, 2018, the league originally selected New Orleans as the site for Super Bowl LVIII, then tentatively scheduled for February 4, 2024. In March 2020, the league and the NFLPA agreed to expand the regular season from 16 to 17 games starting in 2021, pushing Super Bowl LVIII to February 11, 2024, and causing a conflict with New Orleans' Mardi Gras celebrations. On October 14, 2020, the league decided to move Super Bowl LVIII to another city (Las Vegas was later chosen) and awarded Super Bowl LIX to New Orleans instead, as Mardi Gras in 2025 is not until March 4, thus avoiding any conflicts.
The official logo for Super Bowl LIX was unveiled on February 12, 2024, and follows the logo template established since Super Bowl LVI, with the Roman numerals featuring imagery representing the host city/region. The Roman numerals contain artwork by local artist "Queen" Tahj Williams—a figure in the community of Mardi Gras Indians. It marks the first time the NFL has collaborated with a local artist on the design of a Super Bowl emblem.
