New Orleans was originally supposed to host Super Bowl LVIII in 2024, but when the NFL decided to extend the regular season by a game, the move pushed the Super Bowl into conflict with the city’s Mardi Gras celebrations, so the game was moved to Las Vegas and awarded Super Bowl LIX to New Orleans for 2025, when Mardi Gras falls in March.

Kickoff for Super Bowl LIX will be 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, February 9, but coverage will start much earlier on FOX, FS1, and Tubi.

SZA will join him but few other details about the performance were revealed, bowing to a tradition in which headliners keep their plans secret.
