If you’re wondering how to watch the Super Bowl this year, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve compiled a foolproof guide on how to watch the big game (or the halftime show), so you don’t find yourself scrolling through the TV guide only to realize you don’t have Fox in your cable package. (Been there, hate that.)

The Super Bowl LIX will be played at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. As for who will be facing off, the Kansas City Chiefs will take on the Philadelphia Eagles. Halftime entertainment will be provided by Kendrick Lamar, who is set to take the field for the first time as a solo headliner. Keep scrolling for more details on how to stream the 2025 Super Bowl.

4. Who Is Announcing the Super Bowl?

The 2025 Super Bowl will feature appearances by several familiar correspondents, including Kevin Burkhardt, Tom Brady, Erin Andrews, Tom Rinaldi and Mike Pereira.

5. Who Will Perform At Super Bowl 2025?

The Apple Music Super Bowl LIX show will feature the one and only Kendrick Lamar. Though this is the singer’s first time as a solo headliner, he previously appeared at Super Bowl LVI with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent and Mary J. Blige.

“Rap music is still the most impactful genre to date,” Lamar said in a statement. “And I’ll be there to remind the world why. They got the right one.”

6. Who Will Sing the Super Bowl 2025 National Anthem?

The national anthem will be sung by—drumroll, please—Jon Batiste. He follows on the heels of 2024’s performer, The Voice coach and Country Music Hall of Famer Reba McEntire. Lauren Daigle and Trombone Shorty will also make appearances to sing “America the Beautiful.”

7. Will the Commercials Live Up to Expectations?

Most likely, since they’re set to be star-studded. Hailee Steinfeld is raising awareness about breast cancer, Tom Brady is teaming up with Snoop Dogg and Billy Crystal is reuniting with his When Harry Met Sally co-star, Meg Ryan. And that's all just for starters.
