If you’re a huge football fan, I don’t have to tell you that the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs are mere days away from battling it out in Super Bowl LVII for the right to call themselves champions of the 2022 NFL season.
But what if you aren’t really that into the NFL? What if, say, the only things you know about eagles and chiefs are that they’re actually birds and tribal leaders? What if the extent of your annual engagement with the Super Bowl is going to a party and trying to think of things to contribute to the conversation in between commercials?
In this case, we’ve got you covered. This is the sixth annual casual fan’s guide to everything you could possibly need to know about the Super Bowl.
Who’s playing in Super Bowl LVII? And why is it called Super Bowl LVII?
First and foremost, it’s important to know everything about the participants in the NFL’s title game. Representing the NFC, we have the Philadelphia Eagles. They’re favored by 1.5 points as of this writing. That means betting experts at Caesars Sportsbook think this is going to be a close game, but that the Eagles are the slightly better team. Representing the AFC, meanwhile, are the Kansas City Chiefs. The two teams can be told apart by their respective color schemes. The Eagles wear green, white, and black uniforms, while the Chiefs are in red, gold, and white.
It’s called Super Bowl LVII because it’s the 57th Super Bowl, and 57 in Roman numerals is LVII. The NFL has been using Roman numerals for every Super Bowl (except Super Bowl 50) since Super Bowl V (five). According to the NFL’s media guide, “The Roman numerals were adopted to clarify any confusion that may occur because the NFL Championship Game — the Super Bowl — is played in the year following a chronologically recorded season. Numerals I through IV were added later for the first four Super Bowls.”
What time is the Super Bowl? Where is it?
The Super Bowl starts at 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, Feb. 12, 2023. The game will be played in State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. The NFL rotates the location of the Super Bowl every year because it generally wants to provide a neutral site so no team has home-field advantage. That had worked every year up until two years ago, when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won the Super Bowl in their home stadium. Last year, the Los Angeles Rams did the same. Now, we are back to a neutral site.
And how long is…
