On Sunday, February 9, 2025, family and friends across the USA—and around the world—will sit down to watch the Big Game! Two National Football League (NFL) teams—The Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles—will face off at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans at 5:30 pm CST (UTC -6), competing for the glory and the coveted Lombardi Trophy! The Super Bowl has consistently been one of the most watched broadcasts in the USA every year since 1967. It’s a pretty big deal.
Whether or not you’re a fan of American football, there is nothing quite like the energy and excitement that can be felt in homes and sports bars around the country. It is insatiable. Between spectacular athletic performances, the acclaimed half-time show, and ground-breaking TV commercials, you are sure to enjoy the Super Bowl.
This will be Super Bowl 59 (LIX), and like every other year, the game will be opened with a performance of the National Anthem, this year by Grammy award-winning singer and composer, Jon Batiste.
The Halftime Show
During the Super Bowl, there are 4 quarters of play. During the halftime show, after the second quarter, it’s tradition for big name music stars to perform a short concert on the field. This year, acclaimed American rapper Kendrick Lamar—who previously performed with other artists at the 2022 halftime show—will entertain the world with a much-anticipated performance, which is likely to include some surprise guest appearances!
The Insane Commercials
With millions of viewers tuning in each year, the Super Bowl provides an excellent opportunity for brands from all industries to feature their ads between the game plays. Some of the most viral TV commercials of all time have screened first during the Super Bowl. You can watch some of the best commercials from 2024 on YouTube.
Puppy Bowl XXI
For those less interested in football, we completely understand and empathize. While we enjoy it, in truth, not everyone here at InterExchange is so excited about the big game. But one thing we can all agree on is puppies. At 2:00 p.m. EST (UTC -5) on Animal Planet, Discovery Network hosts this event with 100 of the most adorable puppies battling for the Lombarky trophy. This is all for a good cause, too, as all dogs from Team Ruff and Team Fluff are up for adoption.
There are plenty of opportunities to enjoy many aspects of American culture, whether it is the epic NFL showdown, the halftime show, or Puppy Bowl XXI.
