When and where is Super Bowl LV?
The game kicks off on Sunday, February 7, 2021, at 3:30 p.m. PT (6:30 p.m. local ET) from Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, marking the first time a Super Bowl participant has played in its home stadium. San Francisco 49ers fans will remember that Super Bowl XIX between the Niners and Miami Dolphins was played in the Bay Area. However, that game was played at Stanford Stadium, which sat about 30 miles south of the 49ers' former home field — Candlestick Park.

Odds
As of this post, the Chiefs are a three-point favorite over the Buccaneers. The game has an O/U of 56.5.
Tampa Bay in 2020
The Buccaneers finished the regular season with an 11-5 record, which was good enough for second place in the NFC South and a Wild-card playoff berth. That meant winning three playoff road games to earn a trip to Super Bowl LV. This is Brady's first season with Tampa Bay and his record 10th Super Bowl appearance. The Buccaneers have won one championship in team history, beating the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl XXXVII.
Kansas City in 2020
The Chiefs owned the best record in the NFL, finishing the regular season at 14-2. This is their second consecutive Super Bowl appearance after beating the 49ers in the big game a year ago. Before that, Kansas City's last championship came during Super Bowl IV.
Halftime and the national anthem
The Weeknd will perform the Super Bowl LV halftime show. Eric Church and Jazmine Sullivan will sing the National Anthem before kickoff, and H.E.R. will sing "America the Beautiful."
Commercials
A 30-second spot during Super Bowl LV costs about $5.5 million.
Attendance
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the NFL will only allow 14,500 fans (30% capacity) to attend. 7,500 vaccinated healthcare workers will receive free admission to the game.
Future Super Bowls
In 2022, the Super Bowl will be held in Los Angeles, California. It will take place in Glendale, Arizona in 2023, and then New Orleans, Louisiana in 2024.
