The Super Bowl half-time show is an occasion in itself, and rapper Kendrick Lamar has been given the honour of headlining in 2025. American singer-songwriter SZA will be a guest.
Lamar is no stranger to this stage having co-headlined with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem and Mary J. Blige in 2022.
Who are the favourites to win the Super Bowl?
The Chiefs are regarded as the marginal favourites to overcome the Eagles on Sunday. Andy Reid's side are 15-2 for the 2024 campaign, in comparison to Nick Sirianni's side boasting a 14-3 record.
UK bookmakers generally have the Chiefs at betting odds of 4/5, with the Eagles at 10/11, emphasising that one of the most fiercely-competitive Super Bowls in recent memory is anticipated.
