Super Bowl LIV is the only game on the Feb. 2 schedule, but TV coverage of the event will last roughly as long as a typical NFL Sunday. The Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers are set to compete for the Vince Lombardi Trophy at Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium.

A special “Fox NFL Kickoff” starts at 1 p.m. EST, followed by “Fox Super Bowl Pregame Show” at 2 p.m. EST. The pregame show will last four and a half hours, taking viewers to the Super Bowl start time of 6:30 p.m. EST.

The last two Super Bowls kicked off very close to the announced start time of 6:30 p.m. EST, though that isn’t always the case. When the New England Patriots met the Atlanta Falcons in the 2017 Super Bowl, the contest didn’t actually start until close to 6:40 p.m. EST. It was the only Super Bowl that ever went to overtime.

Joe Buck will do play-by-play on Sunday’s broadcast alongside Fox analyst and three-time Super Bowl champion Troy Aikman. Erin Andrews and Chris Myers are the sideline reporters. Mike Pereira and Dean Blandino will contribute to the broadcast as rules analysts.

The 2019 Super Bowl is considered to be among the worst in history. The Patriots beat the Los Angeles Rams 13-3, setting the record for the fewest points in a Super Bowl. It was a stark difference from 2018 when the Philadelphia Eagles beat New England 41-33.

Kansas City is favored by one point over San Francisco. Patrick Mahomes is the best quarterback in football and the 49ers have one of the NFL’s top defenses, potentially making for an all-time Super Bowl matchup.
