The Kansas City Chiefs will face the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 58 on Sunday, February 11. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada. The game will be televised on CBS.
Kansas City returns to the Super Bowl for the fourth time in five seasons after a 17-7 victory against Baltimore in the AFC championship game. Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes are seeking a third Super Bowl championship in that stretch. There hasn’t been a repeat Super Bowl champion since New England in 2003-04, and the Chiefs have found a different way to win this season.
The Chiefs finished 11-6 in the regular season, but won two playoff games on the road with the help of a strong defense that allowed 13.7 points per game in wins against high-powered offensive teams in Miami, Buffalo and Baltimore. Tight end Travis Kelce also had a strong performance in the playoffs, and yes, we think Taylor Swift will be in attendance at Super Bowl 58. The show must go on.
