The NFL playoffs have reached their climax, and the final showdown is a familiar one—a rematch of Super Bowl 57! This time, it’s all happening in New Orleans as the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl 59 to determine the champion of the 2025 NFL season.
On one side, we have the Chiefs led by their superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who is no stranger to the big stage. Incredibly, this will be his fifth Super Bowl appearance in just seven seasons. After a nail-biting 32-29 victory over the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship, Mahomes and his squad have their eyes on making history with a rare three-peat—winning the Super Bowl three years in a row. Mahomes once again got the better of Bills quarterback Josh Allen, improving to 4-0 against him in playoff matchups. The game was a thrilling back-and-forth, but Mahomes’ clutch performance sealed Kansas City’s spot in the championship.
On the other side, the Eagles are back in the big game with revenge on their minds. Two years ago, they came up short against the Chiefs in Super Bowl 57, but this time, they’re determined to rewrite the story. With a dominant 55-23 win over their division rivals, the Washington Commanders, in the NFC Championship, the Eagles made a bold statement. Their offense, led by the unstoppable Saquon Barkley, set a new conference championship record for most points scored by a single team. Now, they’re heading to New Orleans hungry for their second Super Bowl title in franchise history.
With these two powerhouse teams set to clash once again, Super Bowl 59 promises to be a battle for the ages. Here’s everything you need to know about this epic rematch!
Who is in the Super Bowl 2025?
- Kansas City Chiefs vs. Philadelphia Eagles
For the second time in just three years, the Chiefs and Eagles have proven they’re the top dogs in the NFL, setting up yet another championship showdown.
The last time these two teams clashed in the playoffs was in Super Bowl 57, where the game came down to the wire. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs mounted a thrilling comeback after trailing 27-21 heading into the fourth quarter. Harrison Butker nailed a clutch field goal with just eight seconds on the clock, sealing a dramatic 38-35 victory for Kansas City. That game also marked the first-ever postseason meeting between these two franchises.
This upcoming Super Bowl will be the second time quarterbacks Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes face off on football’s biggest stage. But their rivalry goes beyond the playoffs. In their four overall matchups, the two are evenly split. Mahomes took the postseason win in Super Bowl 57, while Hurts led the Eagles to a 21-17 regular-season victory in 2023. Now, the stakes couldn’t be higher as these two superstar QBs prepare for another epic battle.
When and where is Super Bowl 59?
- Date: Sunday, Feb. 9
- Kickoff time: 6:30 p.m. ET
- TV network: Fox
- Location: Caesars Superdome, New Orleans
Super Bowl 59 will take place at the iconic Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, marking yet another milestone for the Big Easy. This will be the 11th time New Orleans has hosted the big game, tying Miami for the most Super Bowl appearances in one city.
Scheduled for February 9, 2025, this showdown will also set a record for the most times a single venue has hosted the event, with the Superdome taking center stage for the eighth time.
The Superdome, which was renamed Caesars Superdome in 2021, has a rich Super Bowl history. It previously hosted the championship in 1978, 1981, 1986, 1990, 1997, 2002, and most recently in 2013, when the Ravens defeated the 49ers in a memorable showdown. Before the Superdome era, the first three New Orleans-hosted Super Bowls (1970, 1972, and 1975) took place at Tulane Stadium.
With its vibrant atmosphere and storied history, the Caesars Superdome is primed to deliver another unforgettable Super Bowl experience.
How many times have the Chiefs been to the Super Bowl?
The Kansas City Chiefs are heading to their seventh Super Bowl and making their third straight appearance, a remarkable achievement in the NFL. With back-to-back wins in Super Bowl 57 and Super Bowl 58, they’re now aiming for the ultimate prize—a historic three-peat.
The Chiefs currently hold a 4-2 record in Super Bowl appearances. Their first victory dates back to Super Bowl 4, when they defeated the Vikings 23-7. Their most recent triumph came in Super Bowl 58, where they edged out the 49ers in a tight 25-22 battle.
If Kansas City pulls off a win in Super Bowl 59, they’ll join elite company as just the third team in NFL history to secure three consecutive championships. The only other teams to achieve this feat are the Green Bay Packers, who did it twice—once from 1929 to 1931 and again from 1965 to 1967. A victory here would solidify the Chiefs as one of the greatest dynasties in NFL history.
How many times have the Eagles been to the Super Bowl?
The Philadelphia Eagles are heading to their fifth Super Bowl appearance, eager to reclaim the championship glory they last tasted in 2018. This marks their first trip to the NFL’s biggest stage since 2023, and the team is hungry for its second Super Bowl title.
Historically, the Eagles haven’t had the best luck in Super Bowl matchups. The franchise has a 1-3 record in the big game. Their losses include Super Bowl 15 in 1981, Super Bowl 39 in 2005, and most recently, Super Bowl 57 in 2023.
However, Philadelphia fans will always remember their shining moment in 2018. That year, Nick Foles delivered a legendary performance, leading the Eagles to a thrilling Super Bowl 52 victory over Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. Now, the Eagles are looking to add another chapter to their story by bringing home their second Lombardi Trophy.
