The stage for Super Bowl LVII is now officially set following Championship Sunday, with the Chiefs and Eagles punching their tickets for a shot at the Lombardi Trophy following wins over the Bengals and 49ers, respectively.
Super Bowl LVII will take place in Glendale, Arizona on Feb. 12, and mark the Chiefs’ third Super Bowl appearance in four seasons and the Eagles’s first appearance in five years. The marquee matchup will also be the first in NFL history to feature two Black starting quarterbacks in Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts—who combine for the youngest age for two starting quarterbacks in Super Bowl history—and a pair of brothers in Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Eagles center Jason Kelce.
Mahomes and the Chiefs claimed their latest AFC championship in front of their fans at Arrowhead Stadium in what was their fifth consecutive conference title game appearance. Kansas City staved off a hungry Cincinnati team looking to return to its second straight Super Bowl, 23–20, with a 45-yard Harrison Butker field goal following a critical Bengals unnecessary roughness penalty for a late hit on Mahomes–who shined despite playing with a high ankle sprain.
