How to watch Super Bowl LV
Date: Sunday, Feb. 7 | Time: 6:30 p.m. ET
Location: Raymond James Stadium (Tampa, Florida)
TV: CBS | Stream: FREE on CBSSports and CBS Sports App
The Super Bowl is the ultimate collision of sport and showbiz, the pinnacle, a celebration of all things red, white and blue with a famed halftime show, iconic commercials and trailers, and hidden in the noise, a usually stunning NFL game beneath it all.
The Kansas City Chiefs steamrolled their way to the Vince Lombardi trophy last season with QB Patrick Mahomes putting in a fourth quarter for the ages to secure the title.
Mahomes is back in the big game this year but faces legendary QB Tom Brady and his resurgent Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the show-stopping climax of the NFL season.
A growing contingent of the British population tune into the big game every year, and the 2021 edition will be no different.
Once the ‘superb owl’, ‘hand egg’ and ‘rugby with pads’ banter merchants conclude their trading for the day, the faithful can really hunker down and gorge on the feast of NFL brilliance long into the early hours.
Excitement is building ahead of the 2021 match-up that will, of course, look very different to last year’s buzzing hive of activity, and we’ve got all the details you need to know about the 2021 edition of the Super Bowl including date, time and full TV details.
Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs could become the first team to win back-to-back Super Bowl titles since the New England Patriots in 2003 and 2004 (Tom Brady’s second and third titles). Kansas City finished the regular season 14-2 and for the second time in just three years, the Chiefs entered the playoffs as the number 1 seed in the AFC. Mahomes, the defending Super Bowl MVP who signed a 10-year, $450 million extension in July 2019, finished the regular season with a 66.3 completion percentage, 4,740 passing yards, and 38 touchdowns.
Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are already making postseason history. The Buccaneers, whose last Super Bowl appearance was in 2003, are the first team to ever play at home during the Super Bowl. The team finished the regular season 11-5, second in the NFC South. At 43 years of age, Brady will make his 10th career Super Bowl appearance on Sunday and could possibly extend his record of Super Bowl wins to 7. No other quarterback has appeared in more than 5 Super Bowls, let alone claimed over 4 rings.
While this is the second meeting between the two teams this season, Brady and Mahomes have gone head-to-head four times in their careers, each winning two games apiece. Click here to see every match up between the two quarterbacks.
We're just three (!) short days away from what should be an incredible matchup between Patrick Mahomes' Kansas City Chiefs and Tom Brady's Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl LV at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.
You're well aware of Brady's accolades and what one more Super Bowl ring might mean for the future Hall of Famer's legacy. And it's worth even more than that for Bucs fans who haven't seen their team advance to the Super Bowl since 2003! Brady arrives and boom -- they're right back in it! Mahomes and the Chiefs, meanwhile, are looking to become the first team since Brady's New England Patriots to win consecutive Super Bowls.
It's time to prepare for Super Bowl LV. Below, you'll find all the information you need.

How to watch the Super Bowl in the US
In the US, Super Bowl broadcasting duties are on a three-year cycle between NBC, CBS and Fox.
This was supposed to be NBC’s year to broadcast the event, but a network trade has taken place meaning CBS are on duty this time, and you know what that means.
Analyst sensation – and former Dallas Cowboys QB – Tony Romo will be on co-commentary alongside the iconic voice of Jim Nantz. The pair previously worked together on the Super Bowl in 2019.
The 2020 Super Bowl was aired live on Fox with Joe Buck and legendary Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman on the mic.
Who is playing?
Super Bowl LV will feature the Tampa Bay Buccaneers led by Brady – the seasoned champion – against the reigning Super Bowl champs Kansas City Chiefs led by Mahomes – the perceived heir to Brady’s throne.
The Chiefs toppled the tremendous Buffalo Bills with relative ease in the AFC Championship to earn a shot at back-to-back Super Bowl triumphs.
On the other hand, the Buccaneers overcame the mighty Aaron Rodgers and his Green Bay Packers unit in a tense, tight NFC Championship game.
This is a match-up between the master and the apprentice, the GOAT and the, well, the kid?
Mahomes has a lot of road to run in his career, but the pace he has set so far is truly spectacular. Brady’s longevity has set him apart though, and at the age of 43, he would be the oldest quarterback to win the Super Bowl since a spritely, young, 41-year-old Tom Brady in 2019.
In fact, Brady is the oldest player ever to feature on a Super Bowl roster in the history of the NFL.
Where is Super Bowl 2021 being held?
The Super Bowl will be held at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay, Florida, USA. Yes, you’re right: Tampa Bay are playing at home.
The Bucs have remarkably become the first team in history to feature in a Super Bowl showdown at their own stadium and Brady will be determined to make the most of this stunning opportunity.
Normally, up to 65,000 fans would be able to pack into the stands. Of course, this is 2021.
However, official attendance figures have been released by the NFL stating that 25,000 fans will be permitted into the stadium, with a further 30,000 cut-outs used to cover empty seats.
Around 7,500 vaccinated health-care workers will be among the fans in the stands.
Who is singing the national anthem?
Country singer Eric Church and R&B artist Jasmine Sullivan will team up to perform a duet version of The Star-Spangled Banner ahead of the big game.
Fellow R&B star H.E.R. will perform America the Beautiful as part of the pre-game traditions.
When does the halftime show start?
The halftime show is expected to kick off at around 1am, depending on how long the actual Super Bowl game takes.
Two 15-minute quarters will be played before the halftime show (makes sense, right?) but as fans will know, that half an hour of play will be spread across almost three times that length due to how the game is played.
Who is performing in the halftime show?
The iconic Super Bowl halftime show will be performed by The Weeknd in 2021.
The Canadian artist holds the honour for the longest charted single in North America since records began 62 years ago with Blinding Lights.
Plenty of fans sacrificed their Monday morning mood to enjoy Jennifer Lopez and Shakira’s explosive performance in 2020 – will you be staying up late for The Weeknd?
When is Super Bowl LV?
Super Bowl LV will be played on Sunday, Feb. 7, 2021. Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. ET.
Where is Super Bowl LV?
Super Bowl LV will be played in Tampa, Florida, at Raymond James Stadium, home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This is the fifth Super Bowl being hosted in the Tampa area, the first since Super Bowl XLIII in 2009 and the third held at Raymond James Stadium (Super Bowl XXXV in 2001 and Super Bowl XLIII in 2009). This will be the fourth time in league history the Super Bowl will take place in the same state in back-to-back years, and the first time since 2009 and 2010, when Florida hosted the Super Bowl in consecutive years.
