The Super Bowl matchup is set: the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles will face off on football’s biggest stage. But where will this showdown take place? Let’s examine the host city for Super Bowl 59.

Super Bowl 59 Set to Take Place in One of the Most Iconic Cities for Football
Super Bowl 59 will be in New Orleans at the Caesars Superdome on Feb. 9, 2025, marking the 11th time the Big Easy has hosted the big game. This milestone ties New Orleans with Miami for the most Super Bowl games held in a single city, cementing its status as a premier football destination.
New Orleans is no stranger to football and the spotlight that comes with it. Its vibrant culture, rich history, and unmatched energy make it the perfect host city for the Super Bowl. This will be the eighth Super Bowl held at the Caesars Superdome, thus making the venue synonymous with thrilling football moments.
Interestingly, the city was initially slated to host Super Bowl 57, but scheduling conflicts caused by the NFL’s shift to a 17-game season delayed its turn.
Following the New Year’s Day attack in New Orleans, increased security measures have been implemented. Federal agencies have ramped up efforts with SWAT teams, drones, and 90 bomb-sniffing dogs on patrol, according to ESPN.
Memorable Super Bowls in New Orleans
The Caesars Superdome has been the stage for some of the NFL’s most unforgettable moments. In 2013 (Super Bowl 47), the Superdome saw the infamous “Blackout Bowl,” in which the Baltimore Ravens fended off a furious comeback from the San Francisco 49ers after a power outage. The Ravens clinched a 34-31 victory, with Joe Flacco being named MVP.
Over two decades ago, Super Bowl 36 featured a young Tom Brady leading the New England Patriots to a dramatic win over the St. Louis Rams, launching one of the greatest dynasties in sports history. Another highlight happened in 1986 at Super Bowl 20, when the dominant Chicago Bears crushed the New England Patriots 46-10, capping off a legendary season and making it one of the most memorable Super Bowls in the history of football.
Super Bowl 59 promises a lot — from the fan-led atmosphere to Kendrick Lamar headlining the halftime show.

It isn’t hard to say that New Orleans is ready to shine once again on the NFL’s grandest stage with Super Bowl 59.
Chiefs vs. Eagles Super Bowl Preview
Based on PFN’s win probability model, which ran 10,000 simulations via the PFN Playoff Predictor, the Eagles have a 52.8% chance of defeating the Chiefs.
The Chiefs are aiming to become the first team in NFL history to win three straight Super Bowls. Kansas City has won three of the last five Super Bowls and will be the first NFL team to play in five Super Bowls over a six-season span.
This is Philadelphia’s third Super Bowl appearance in the last eight seasons. The Eagles defeated the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII and lost to the Chiefs two seasons ago in Super Bowl LVII.
Kansas City Chiefs Trends and Insights
- The Chiefs have 17 straight one-score wins (12-0 this season, their last three playoff games last year, and their last two regular season games). Twelve one-score wins is the most in a single season all-time, tied with the 2022 Vikings, 2019 Seahawks, and 2015 Broncos.
- Patrick Mahomes passed Joe Montana for the second-most playoff wins by a starting quarterback (17) and John Elway for the second-most playoff game-winning drives by a quarterback (seven).
- From 2019-24, the Chiefs have made six Super Bowl appearances, are chasing a fourth title, and have won 78% of their regular season games. For reference, the Splash Brother Golden State Warriors (2015-19, 2022) made six NBA Finals appearances with four titles and won 76.2% of their regular season games.
- The Chiefs have averaged over 2.5 points per offensive drive in four straight games when playing their regulars – that’s a good formula, as NFL teams have won 78.9% of their games this season when clearing 2.50 PPD.
- During his career, Mahomes has averaged 3.9 carries for 20 yards and 0.13 touchdowns on the ground during the regular season. In the postseason, those rates elevated to 5.4 attempts, 29.1 yards, and 0.35 touchdowns per game.
- Since Week 5, Mahomes ranks second in pass attempts (511, even including the playoffs, Joe Burrow still has more). There are 33 QBs with more deep TD passes over that stretch (including Cooper Rush, Daniel Jones, and Michael Penix Jr.).
Philadelphia Eagles Trends and Insights
- The Eagles peaked early last season and scored 155 points over a five-game win streak (Weeks 7-12). Over their past five games, they’ve scored 166 points.
- Jalen Hurts ran for three scores in his prior Super Bowl experience, joining Terrell Davis as the only player to do that in The Big Game. With his three rushing scores on Sunday, Hurts joined LeGarrette Blount as the only players in NFL history with multiple playoff games in which they ran for three-plus touchdowns.
- Philadelphia has forced 19 turnovers in their past six games, a run that includes four games with three-plus.
- The Eagles became the sixth team to have multiple players rush for multiple scores in a playoff game, the first since Rex Burkhead and Sony Michel did it for the 2018 Patriots.
- Since 2022, the Eagles are 18-8 ATS (69.2%) when facing a team that enters play with at least as many wins as losses (second best, trailing only the 20-6-1 Lions).
- Hurts will become the eighth quarterback to start multiple Super Bowls within his first eight seasons. Of the previous seven, only Elway failed to secure a ring within his first five seasons—though Elway would famously cap off his career with Super Bowl victories in his final two seasons.
- There are similarities between the Eagles’ Super Bowl run in 2017 and this season. Both teams won it all after…
– A 28-point win in November in Dallas
– Falling behind on the first drive of a blowout Championship win
– Going undefeated in October and November
