Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are officially back in the Super Bowl, to try for an unprecedented three-peat for the big game coming up in February.
The Chiefs won another AFC championship Sunday, holding off the Buffalo Bills 32-29. In the NFC, the Eagles bulldozed past the upstart Washington Commanders 55-23 in the day’s early game.
As Super Bowl LIX approaches, here's what to know.
Who is playing in the 2025 Super Bowl?
The Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles will face each other in the Super Bowl for the second time in three seasons. The Chiefs edged the Eagles 38-35 in Super Bowl LVII on Feb. 12, 2023, in Glendale, Arizona.
There will be a lot of familiar faces for both teams in the rematch: Mahomes and Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts are again under center. But there’s some new blood, too, including Eagles running back Saquon Barkley, who ran for three TDs in the NFC title game.
The Chiefs will be playing in the title game for the fifth time in six seasons and are going for their fourth championship in the same span.
