The Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs aren't the only big draw at Super Bowl LIX; for the past 30 years or so, the biggest football game of the season has also been the site of one of the biggest concerts of the year, too. The 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show headliner will be Kendrick Lamar (with a guest appearance by SZA). Lamar also took the stage back in 2022, performing alongside Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent, Mary J. Blige, but this year, the stage is his.

Super Bowl LIX will be played at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, LA on Sunday, Feb. 9. You can watch the game and the halftime show (which will air, naturally, after the second quarter) on FOX this year, and it will stream live for free on Tubi, too! Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch the Super Bowl LIX halftime show.
