Find out how to watch Super Bowl LV, which features the Kansas City Chiefs against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
After making their first playoff appearance since 2007, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers enter Super Bowl LV looking to claim the franchise's second championship.

The 20 Most Fascinating People in and Around Super Bowl LV
Raymond James Stadium, the site of Super Bowl LV, will welcome about 22,000 fans—including 7,500 vaccinated healthcare workers—to the game due to the coronavirus pandemic. By comparison, last year's Super Bowl held in Miami Gardens hosted more than 62,000 spectators.
The Chiefs opened this year's contest as a 3.5-point favorite. However, despite finishing the regular season with a 14-2 record and adding two playoff wins, the Chiefs have struggled against the spread. Kansas City has advanced to the Super Bowl after defeating the Browns in the divisional round and the Bills in the AFC championship.
Tampa Bay, on the other, was 9-6-1 against the spread during the regular season and has covered two of their three postseason games. The Buccaneers won each of their first three playoff games on the road, knocking off the Washington Football Team, Saints and Packers.
Historically, Kansas City will be making their fourth-ever Super Bowl appearance while Tampa Bay will be making just their second Super Bowl appearance in franchise history, and their first in 18 years.
