It’s déjà vu all over again — hopefully not completely — as the Eagles take on the Kansas City Chiefs for the Lombardi Trophy, in a repeat of Super Bowl LVII and the Birds’ latest bid to add to their first title in 2018.
Whether it’s in the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, at a favorite local watering hole, or on some couch at a home watch party, it will be every Philly sports fan’s duty to cheer on the Birds and thwart an Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes three-peat.
So here are some options if you haven’t already locked down your plans.
When is the game?
The game kicks off at 6:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 9, and will air on FOX, with Spanish-language broadcasts available on FOX Deportes and Telemundo. FOX’s pregame programming starts at 1 p.m. The game can also be streamed on any service that carries FOX, with a valid trial or subscription. Streaming service Tubi is partnering with Fox to stream the game for free if you register and sign in with a free Tubi account.
