Super Bowl 2025: How to see and what to know on music, ads and more

On By Littum

Although it is the most popular sporting event in the US, the Super Bowl can sometimes feel like a reflection compared to all the peripheral things that happen on the Super Bowl on Sunday.

In this spirit, ahead of this Sunday match in New Orleans between Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles, here is a guide to the day that has nothing to do with touchdowns. (You can also get a football -related preview if you want one.)

Fox has the broadcast rights for this year’s game and will also stream it through the network’s website and app. But fans looking for an alternative experience can test the fox -owned app TUBI. It plans to stream the game for free and will do a pregame show with Olivia Culpo, a model, influencer and Kona to San Francisco 49ers star Christian McCaffrey, with a red blanket and a focus on celebrities, fashion and culture.

The red carpet show begins at 1 p.m. 15.30 Eastern time, and the game starts around 7 p.m. 18:30

Kendrick Lamar, who is fresh by his five wins at this year’s Grammy Awards, gets an even bigger stage as the main event in the Super Bowl’s half -time show, where he will stay with SZA. That a centerpiece of Mr. Lamar’s performance is very likely to be his song “Not Like Us”, which is a direct attack on rapper Drake, may require an explanation of people who are less familiar with his work.

Before the game, Jon Batiste, the Grammy-winning singer and songwriter, sings, the national anthem; Thrombone Shorty, a colleague New Orleans musician, and Lauren Daigle, a superstar of Christian music, performs “America the Beautiful”; And the actress and singer Ledisi will perform “lift every voice and sing.”

It seems he wants to be that. The US Secret Service said Tuesday that it is planning President Trump to join the game in person.

“The US Secret Service has been on Earth for days, worked in close collaboration with federal, state and local law enforcement partners as well as the NFL to implement a comprehensive security plan,” Anthony Guglielmi, a spokesman for secret service, said in a statement sent to it to it White House Pool -Journalists.

Mr. Trump would be the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl, with the visit to Superdome in New Orleans, who came a little more than a month after a deadly truck attack near the room.

In addition to his expected performance, Mr. Trump be part of Fox’s first name show, as the network will include a pre -recorded interview with him, which is expected to be sent at 1 p.m. 15.00 Eastern time.

Days of being shocked by the Super Bowl advertising are mostly past as most of the ads are released in advance. But for some viewers it is to see at home their first time to see the ads.

Among them to see: one for mayonnaise -mark Hellmanns that recreates a classic movie scene From “When Harry, Sally met,” starring the original actors of the movie, Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan, with the help of actress Sydney Sweeney. In another movie tribute is Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez and Ludacris in one place For the ice cream maker Häagen-Dazs entitled “Not so fast, not so furious.”

And fresh of last year’s success, Dunkin ‘is back with dunkings, As the company teased Under Grammys with appearances from Ben Affleck, Casey Affleck and Jeremy Strong.

There is any expectation that Taylor Swift will be there in New Orleans to support her girlfriend, Travis Kelce, from Chiefs, considering she crossed the Pacific in the middle of her era tour to make last year’s game. Monday, during the NFL’s opening night with players, Mr. Kelce to Ms. Swift’s father as Eagles fan, but said he expected her family to gather around Kansas City for this game.

As for the question of whether a third straight Chiefs Super Bowl victory could end up with a Swift-Kelce engagement, the bet markets are currently watching it As a very distant option. When asked if he was planning to present a ring to someone special after the game, Mr. Kelce not bait.

“Is there anyone special? A Super Bowl -Ring? “He said to Gaggle of Collected Journalists. “Next question.”

Another fixture at Chiefs Games is Brittany Mahomes, wife of quarterback Patrick Mahomes. While Mrs. Mahomes gave birth to the third child of the couple, Golden, on January 12, Mr. Mahomes on Monday he expected his entire family to be in New Orleans for the game.

The whole Kelce crew – Travis’s brother, Jason; sister-in-law (and podcasting star), Kylie; And parents, Donna and Ed – are likely to be there. However, the rooting loyalty to this group may be divided as Jason Kelce was a star player for Eagles, and Kylie Kelce is a long -time fan of the team.

Fixed on the Eagles side of things is Anna Congdon, the partner of Philadelphia’s superstar who runs back saquon Barkley who has built A significant social media after of her own. The couple recently announced their commitment After being together since college.

There are always celebrities in the Super Bowl, but there are a few who are particularly strong efforts to show up for this matchup.

Actors Paul Rudd and Jason Sudeikis are devoted fans of chiefs and participate at stake regularly. And Bradley Cooper is a huge Eagles supporter who famously played a super fan in the 2012 movie “Silver Linings Playbook” and has often been viewed on the sidelines.

The parties and events leading up to the game will draw more greater celebrities to New Orleans. Shaquille O’Neal hosts Shaqs Fun House on Friday with a performance from Ludacris, and Uber is planning a party with a performance from Travis Scott.

In a charming bit of counter -programming before the game, the puppy bowl’s Lombarky Trophy will be in play again this year when Team Ruff and Team Fluff, filled with more than 100 puppy players from 80 shelters and rescues in 40 states, with the face on Sunday at. 14.00 Eastern Time On Animal Planet.
