The biggest sporting showdown on the planet arrives LIVE on ESPN this Monday February 12 when the defending NFL champion Kansas City Chiefs collide with the San Francisco 49ers at Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas.
ESPN viewers will experience unmatched access to the showpiece event with the game being called exclusively for Australian audiences by ESPN’s Chris Fowler, Dan Orlovsky and Louis Riddick inside Allegiant Stadium.
ESPN SportsCenter host Phil Murphy and Australian sports star and media personality Nick Riewoldt will bring Australian sports fans expanded Super Bowl LVIII coverage including in-depth features and live reports that will highlight all the color and excitement from Las Vegas as part of NFL Blitz.
ESPN’s Super Bowl coverage begins at 9am AEDT Monday with the Super Bowl LVIII Pre-game Show before Super Bowl LVIII follows LIVE at 10am AEDT.
Then at Half-Time of Super Bowl LVIII all eyes will turn to R&B sensation, Usher as he performs in the Super Bowl LVIII Half-Time Show.
The Kansas City Chiefs are headed to their sixth Super Bowl and their fourth in the last six years.
They will look to become the first team to go back-to-back since the New England Patriots defended their crown in 2003-2004.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes becomes the youngest quarterback to start his fourth Super Bowl and he will join an elite club of NFL legends with another Super Bowl victory on Monday.Â
Travis Kelce is the other headline name running out for Kansas City and the tight end has taken his game to a new level in the post-season so far. 16 of 17 targets, 191 yards and three touchdowns ensures he will be a factor in deciding Super Bowl LVIII.Â
San Francisco 49ers on the other hand go into their eighth Super Bowl having not won one since 1994.
The last time the 49ers were in a Super Bowl in 2020 they fell to the Kansas City Chiefs 31-20.
The Chiefs remain a mountain that San Francisco have struggled to climb. Kansas City have never lost to the 49ers when Patrick Mahomes has been the starting quarterback.
This time around though they will be piloted by second year quarterback Brock Purdy. Selected with the final pick of the 2022 NFL Draft ‘Mr Irrelevant’ has had a superb season. From just 26 career starts – Purdy holds a 21-5 record.Â
Christian McCaffrey is the leading running back in the NFL this season and George Kittle leads all tight ends, ensuring the 49ers are primed as ever to break their Super Bowl drought.
