After 272 regular season games and another 13 playoff contests, the end of the NFL season has finally arrived with Super Bowl LIX, or Super Bowl 59 for those who’d rather not deal with Roman numerals.

It pits the Kansas City Chiefs versus the Philadelphia Eagles, with kickoff taking place from the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. ET. Kansas City won its first Super Bowl in New Orleans in 1970, which was Super Bowl IV; Philadelphia made its first Big Game appearance in The Big Easy in 1981 for Super Bowl XV.
