How to watch Super Bowl 2024 in UK: Chiefs vs 49ers start time, TV channel and live stream tonight
The Super Bowl takes centre stage once again tonight as the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers go head-to-head for ultimate NFL glory in Las Vegas.
More than 100million people are expected to tune in for one of the biggest annual sporting events on the planet, which this year takes place at Allegiant Stadium in Sin City.
Super Bowl LVIII (58) is a rematch of the 2020 showpiece in Miami, when the Chiefs scored three fourth-quarter touchdowns to successfully erase a 10-point deficit and win their first title since 1970.
Led by sublime quarterback Patrick Mahomes and superstar tight end Travis Kelce, who may again be supported by partner Taylor Swift this weekend, plus their best defensive unit of this successful era, Andy Reid’s side are making their fourth Super Bowl appearance in the last five years having edged out the Philadelphia Eagles in a thriller 12 months ago.
The 49ers will be out for revenge after that defeat in Super Bowl LIV, as one of the NFL’s most storied historic franchises seeks a sixth title that would put them level with the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers for the all-time lead.
San Francisco have not triumphed in the big game since way back in 1994, but well-marshalled by former ‘Mr Irrelevant’ Brock Purdy and featuring the likes of offensive weapons Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk, Kyle Shanahan and Co will feel that this could well now be their time, provided they eliminate the defensive mistakes that saw them need an epic comeback to defeat the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship Game.
