The Super Bowl LIX matchup is set and it's one that should feel familiar: The Kansas City Chiefs will face-off with the Philadelphia Eagles. It's a rematch of the Super Bowl from two years ago.

The Chiefs won that first matchup, 38-35, and this go-round they'll be looking to win their third Super Bowl in a row — a feat accomplished by no other NFL team. The Eagles, of course, will be looking for redemption.

We've got all the details ahead of the big game.

When to watch

Sure, you might be excited for the game — but you're going to have to wait a while to watch it. The Super Bowl is scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 9 in New Orleans. It's set to kick off at 6:30 p.m. ET. Once it gets going, a typical broadcast of the big game lasts somewhere around four hours.

What about the halftime show?

It is a very highly anticipated halftime show this year, to say the last. Kendrick Lamar is slated to perform, fresh off a yearlong beef with Drake. It's already confirmed that SZA will perform alongside Lamar and it has been rumored that others could show up as well.

Typically speaking, the halftime show will begin about 90 minutes after kickoff — but that is far from guaranteed. Football games don't last a uniform amount of time.

Do we know the best Super Bowl commercials yet?

We don't know every commercial that'll air during the big game, but a number of commercials have debuted or been teased already.

Budweiser has dropped its usual clydesdale commercial.

Uber Eats has teased an ad with Martha Stewart and Charli XCX.

Stella Artois has teased an ad with David Beckham.

Adam Brody has been part of a teaser for Pringles.

And a couple of personal favorites, Detroiters Tim Robinson and Sam Richardson, are slated to appear in a Totino's ad.

There will obviously be developments and news to come — but for now all we can do is wait for the game.
