The 57th annual Super Bowl game will take place on February 12, to be played between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs. The Eagles have one Super Bowl win to their name, although they have appeared a total of four times. The Chiefs, meanwhile, have played on four occasions and won three.
The Super Bowl LVII is easily the most-watched event in the NFL calendar: the 2022 showdown between the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals was viewed by over 99 million people in the United States. The highest viewing figures for the game were recorded in 2015, with 114.4 million.

How to Watch the Super Bowl 2023 With and Without Cable
The February 12 game (along with the now-iconic half-time show and advertising spots) will be broadcast on the Fox network, starting from 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Alternatively, you can watch an online live-stream of the game on the FuboTV sports streaming service.
Who Is Singing the National Anthem?
Country music star Chris Stapleton will sing the National Anthem prior to the start of the game on Sunday night. This will be followed by a rendition of ‘America the Beautiful’ by Babyface, and the pre-game lineup will be rounded out by Abbott Elementary star Sheryl Lee Ralph performing ‘Lift Every Voice and Sing.’
Who Is Performing in the Super Bowl Halftime Show?
The half-time entertainment has become as hotly anticipated a part of the live broadcast as the football game itself, with millions tuning in to see acts like Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez and Madonna perform. This year, Rihanna will headline the half-time show, and many fans have predicted that she will use this high-profile performance to debut new music in addition to popular hits like ‘Umbrella’ and ‘SOS’.
While it has been over six years since her last studio album (2016’s Anti), the Bajan artist has been teasing new material for some time, and recently released a new single, ‘Lift Me Up’, as part of the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack. At present, only Rihanna has been confirmed for the half-time performance, although it is likely that the concert will also include other musical guests.
