When is the Super Bowl?

The Eagles get a week off before Super Bowl LIX, which is in two weeks, on Feb. 9 at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m.

How can I watch the Super Bowl?

The Super Bowl will air live on Fox at 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 9, with Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady on the call. The game will also be available on the Fox Sports app.

How can I get tickets?

If you have a few thousand dollars lying around, tickets are available on Ticketmaster and on resale platforms like StubHub.

The Eagles will receive a limited number of tickets to distribute to fans at face value, but there’s no information yet on how those tickets will be sold. In the past, the Eagles have run a lottery for season-ticket holders to access face-value tickets. If you’re not a season-ticket holder, it’s extremely unlikely you will be able to purchase face-value tickets to the Super Bowl.

You can access premium hospitality tickets through On Location, but those will run you at least $6,950 per person, and that’s not including the flight or the hotel.

Who will the Eagles play?

The Eagles will meet the Kansas City Chiefs in a rematch of Super Bowl LVII on Feb. 9 at 6:30 p.m.

The Chiefs are back to the Super Bowl for the third year in a row, and are looking to become the first team in NFL history to complete a Super Bowl three-peat. The Chiefs finished at the top of the AFC in the regular season, toppling the previous NFL record for most wins in one-score games.

Patrick Mahomes & Co. vanquished the Bills in the postseason for the fourth time to advance to the Super Bowl.

Have they met in the playoffs before?

In Super Bowl LVII, also known as the Kelce Bowl, the Chiefs beat the Eagles 38-35 thanks to a 17-point fourth quarter, with Harrison Butker kicking the game-winning field goal.

How did the Eagles get here?

The Birds outlasted the Green Bay Packers in the wild-card round, and Saquon Barkley ran all over the Los Angeles Rams in the snow at the Linc in the divisional round. The Birds were the NFL’s top defense in the regular season and Vic Fangio’s group has continued to dominate in the playoffs, forcing 10 turnovers, including four against Washington.

But it was the Eagles offense that shined in the NFC championship game. Barkley ripped off a 60-yard touchdown run on the Eagles’ first offensive play, and the Birds kept scoring from there. Hurts ran for three touchdowns and passed to A.J. Brown for another, while Barkley, who had three touchdowns, became the first Eagles running back to rush for more than 100 yards in three consecutive playoff games.

Any notable Eagles injuries?

Linebacker Nakobe Dean is out for the season with a torn patellar tendon, which he suffered in the Eagles’ wild-card win over the Packers.

Center Cam Jurgens missed the first half of Sunday’s matchup with the Commanders with a back injury. Landon Dickerson moved over to center in his absence, and Tyler Steen replaced Dickerson at left guard. But in the second half, Jurgens entered the game in place of Dickerson, who left the game with a knee injury. Running back Kenneth Gainwell also left the game early in the second half, with a concussion.
