One of sports’ biggest events, the annual spectacular of the Super Bowl returns in 2024 as the NFL’s showpiece decider heads for a new location.
Las Vegas will host the game for the first time: Allegiant Stadium, opened in 2020 and built at a cost of nearly $2b, has been the home of the Raiders for the last four seasons.
Last year’s Super Bowl was a thriller, with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs pipping the Philadelphia Eagles to secure their third Lombardi Trophy.
The Chiefs are back in the showpiece this year as they aim for back-to-back titles, with the San Francisco 49ers – who they beat in the Super Bowl in 2020 – standing in their way.
Here’s everything you need to know.
