Super Bowl 58 kicks off at 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, Feb. 11 and will feature the Kansas City Chiefs taking on the San Francisco 49ers at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The game will be a rematch of Super Bowl 54 in 2020, a game that saw the Chiefs come out on top with a 31-20 victory. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw for two touchdowns and rushed for one more in leading the Chiefs to victory.

The Chiefs beat the Baltimore Ravens 17-10 in the AFC Championship game to reach the Super Bowl, while the 49ers defeated the Detroit Lions 34-31 in the NFC Championship.

Andy Reid vs. Kyle Shanahan:Head coach rematch is fourth in Super Bowl history

Kansas City had an up-and-down regular season but still won 11 games and captured the AFC West title for the eighth consecutive year. The Chiefs then went on the road in the playoffs, which many thought would lead to their undoing considering their relative lack of postseason experience away from the friendly confines of Arrowhead Stadium.

It turns out, it didn’t matter. Defense and timely performances from key offensive superstars played large roles in wins at Buffalo and Baltimore.

“We know nothing is going to be given to us. We’ve got an even bigger target on our back than we did last year,” Chiefs safety Justin Reid said last Saturday. “But as far as the mentality in the room, we’re working to continue this dynasty, and continue to build on what we did last year, not just rest on our laurels of what we did.”

The Super Bowl has reached over 100 million viewers nearly every year since Super Bowl 44 in 2010, according to ratings agency Nielsen.

The only exceptions are Super Bowl 55 in 2021, which an estimated 95.9 million people tuned in for, and Super Bowl 53 in 2019, which recorded nearly 99 million estimated viewers.

Last year’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles ranks as the second-most watched Super Bowl ever, behind only Super Bowl XLIX between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks in 2015.

Super Bowl XLVIII included the first Spanish-language broadcast for a Super Bowl, according to Nielsen.
