Super Bowl 2024: How to watch the Chiefs v. 49ers

On Sunday the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs will take on the San Francisco 49ers at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas for Super Bowl 58. The Chiefs and the 49ers faced off four years ago, when Kansas City became champions for the first time in 50 years. San Francisco last won in 1995 against the San Diego Chargers.

A few key things and fun facts to know before the game

Whether you're curious, or you're looking to impress your friends at your Super Bowl gathering, here are a few things that make this year's game unique:

The firsts:

• This is the first time a Super Bowl will be held in Nevada. Though it's the Kansas City Chiefs fourth trip to the NFL championship game in the past five years.
• For the first time there will be an in-game DJ.
• For the first time, one of the referees will be a former Super Bowl player: Terry Killens. 

The people:

• 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey and head coach Kyle Shanahan have the chance to join their fathers as Super Bowl champions.
• Katie Sower, the first woman to coach in the Super Bowl, has coached both of this year's teams.
• Graduates of historically Black colleges and universities account for an outsized number of NFL Hall of Famers. The Chiefs' backup corner, Josh Williams, has dreams of joining their ranks.

The money:

• Millions of people could place legal bets on the Super Bowl — just not in California or Missouri.
• A 30-second spot during this year's Super Bowl cost $7 million.
• Here are some of the biggest wagers between the two cities this year.
• When it comes to the impact of inflation on our food consumption during the game: Beer and guacamole are ok, but chips and dip are more expensive.

The weird, wild and wonderful:

• There might be a Chiefs flag buried beneath Allegiant Stadium, where this year's Super Bowl is being played.
• Our Member stations in Kansas City and San Francisco are getting in on the friendly wagering over the results of the game, and not for the first time. KCUR Kansas City already collected a container of It's-It ice cream sandwiches from KQED back in 2020 when the Chiefs beat the 49ers.
• In honor of the game, this Kansas City-area elementary school is exchanging friendship bracelets with a Bay Area class.

Who's performing at the Super Bowl

Halftime performer: Usher, baby! Following his own Vegas residency, which ran from summer 2022 through last December, his halftime set at this year's Super Bowl will also launch a new album called Coming Home, his first solo record in more than seven years. You can also watch his Tiny Desk concert, home of the "watch this" meme.

But wait, there's more! For the first time there will be an in-game DJ. The NFL announced that Tiësto will perform a DJ set before the game while the players warm up and fans arrive. He will then stay as the in-game DJ and play during featured breaks.
