Here's where and when to watch Super Bowl LIV this Sunday

The San Francisco 49ers go head-to-head with the Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday in Super Bowl LIV.

The Chiefs haven't appeared in a Super Bowl since their one and only title victory over 50 years ago, but have finally fulfilled their potential in 2020 after years of premature play-off departures

The 49ers, who dominated the game in the 80s, are without a Super Bowl win in 25 years, but have surprised many this season with their ferocious defence, earning a 13-3 record in the regular season.

While followers of the game will be keeping their eye on captivating Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes and San Francisco's bulldozer tight end George Kittle, countless more will be tuning in for the halftime show in Miami featuring Jennifer Lopez and Shakira.

The halftime-show has become as unmissable as the action on the turf for many, with Prince, Beyonce and The Rolling Stones among the previous performers to light up the interval period.

Whether you're a student of the NFL or a pop fan, the chances are you won't want to miss this Sunday's huge game - here's how to be one of the 100 million viewers tuning into Super Bowl LIV.

What time does Super Bowl kick-off?

Five players to watch

As the Super Bowl approaches, all eyes will be on Patrick Mahomes.

The 24-year-old Texan set the league alight in his first season as a starter last year, storming his way to the MVP award.

His second season was quiet in comparison, blighted by injury and overshadowed by Lamar Jackson's emergence. However, in the playoffs, he resdiscovered last season's form, or perhaps even surpassed it, reaffirming his status as one of the world's most exciting young sportsmen.

Amongst his highlights from last week was a 27-yard rushing touchdown in which he evaded five tackles.

The 49ers quarterback is Jimmy Garoppolo, who, like Mahomes, will be playing in his first Super Bowl.
