As football fans are starting to get excited for Super Bowl LVI, many key questions are beginning to emerge.
Last year, NFL superfans got to see the Tampa Bay Buccaneers play the Kansas City Chiefs in Tampa Bay, Florida at the Raymond James Stadium. The Buccaneers' iconic win was Tom Brady’s first Super Bowl with the team after spending 20 seasons with the Patriots (in New England, he won six Super Bowl titles and four Super Bowl MVPs). The Chiefs' loss came as a shock to fans following the team's 2020 win — and with powerhouse players like Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Tyrann Mathieu, the loss was especially hard to accept.
But that's all in the past, and soon we'll find out which NFC and AFC teams will face off in the big game in 2022. While we wait to see how the 2022 NFL Playoffs shake out, here's what we know about the upcoming Super Bowl this year:
What day is the Super Bowl in 2022?
The 56th NFL Super Bowl will take place on February 13, 2022, in Inglewood, California at SoFi Stadium, starting at 6:30 ET/3:30 PT.
Although we don't yet know which two teams will be competing, fantasy football fans have already created their dream roster and sportscasters have been making predictions. According to the statistical analysis site FiveThirtyEight, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Green Bay Packers have the highest chance of going to the Super Bowl this year, but fans should prepare for a few wild cards this season. But no matter who is playing this Super Bowl LVI, the game will certainly be one to remember. So grab your favorite Super Bowl snacks, pop open a beer and get ready to see a T-O-U-C-H-D-O-W-N.
How to watch Super Bowl LVI:
The 2022 Super Bowl will air live on NBC. If you are interested in watching the Super Bowl but don't have cable, the game can be streamed live on Peacock or via NBC through subscriptions with Fubo Tv, Hulu + Live TV and Sling. If you miss the Super Bowl on Sunday night, the game can still be streamed on Peacock after February 13th.
Who's performing at the 2022 Super Bowl halftime show?
The Super Bowl halftime show is arguably the biggest performance of the year. Pop-culture icons such as Michael Jackson, Prince and Beyoncé have all made memorable performances over the years. This year, Mary J. Blige, Eminem and California legends Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre and Kendrick Lamar will turn the field into their stage. The 2022 halftime show will be the first time this roster of hip-hop artists have performed together on stage. It's sure to be a huge night for the hip-hop genre. Per Pepsi, the group has collectively acquired 43 Grammys and 19 No. 1 Billboard albums.
