After a season full of uncertainty, Super Bowl Sunday 2021 is upon us! Here is all you need to know to get ready for the big game!
Who’s playing?
As is often the case by the time the Super Bowl arrives, two of the NFL’s best teams this season remain. The Kansas City Chiefs, last year’s Super Bowl Champions, who posted a 14-2 regular season record will take on the Tom Brady led Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are the first team in league history to host the Super Bowl on their home field. Brady is making his 10th Super Bowl appearance, where he currently holds a 6-3 record. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is making his second consecutive appearance after defeating the San Francisco 49ers in Miami one year ago. This is the Chiefs fourth Super Bowl appearance in franchise history, the second for the Buccaneers. Each team has won one.
When does the game start?
Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30PM EST Sunday. Pre-game can be found on CBS Sports HQ, a 24/7 sports news network available for free across digital platforms and connected devices.
How can I watch?
The game will be broadcast nationally on CBS. Streaming is available for free on CBSSports.com and the CBS Sports App.
Who is singing the National Anthem?
Country music star Eric Church and R&B artist Jazmine Sullivan will collaborate on a duet of the Star Spangled Banner prior to kickoff.
Who is performing the halftime show?
The Weekend.
The R&B artist will become the first Canadian-born solo headliner of a Super Bowl. A few songs expected to be featured include “Blinding Lights”, “Heartless”, “The Hills” and “Save Your Tears”.
Who do the experts think will win?
