The Super Bowl is a sporting and cultural phenomenon, as much about the spectacle as the game itself.<\/b><\/p>\n
Now the show is set to be bigger and better than ever as – for the very first time – the NFL’s championship game is taking place under the bright lights of Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
Sin City has been transformed into a sports city over the past decade and now the biggest annual event in American sport will be staged on the Strip.<\/p>\n
Defending champions Kansas City will play in their fourth Super Bowl in five years and ‘Chiefs Kingdom’ has gained a legion of new fans this season as music superstar Taylor Swift has been a regular at games since she began dating tight end Travis Kelce.<\/p>\n
They face one of the NFL’s most popular teams in the San Francisco 49ers, who have won five Super Bowls but lost on their last trip to the big game – to the Chiefs in 2020.<\/a><\/p>\n There is normally lots of speculation about the half-time show but it seems casual fans are more interested in whether Swift will be there than who might join Usher on stage.<\/p>\n Either way, dozens of music and screen stars will be at Allegiant Stadium for all the glitz and glamour of a Vegas Super Bowl.<\/p>\n The game starts at 23:30 GMT on Sunday and you’ll be able to follow live text commentary on the BBC Sport website and app, plus live commentary on BBC Radio 5 Live, followed by post-match video highlights.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
