When is the 2021 Super Bowl? Chiefs vs. Buccaneers date, time, TV info
Super Bowl 55 between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers is rapidly approaching, so it's time for fans to make plans for how they'll tune in.
The Chiefs and Buccaneers already played this season, in Week 12, which ended up being a 27-24 Kansas City victory. This time, the stakes are much higher, with the Lombardi Trophy on the line, as well as potential bragging rights in the battle between generational quarterbacks in Tom Brady of the Buccaneers and Patrick Mahomes of the Chiefs.
Since the game is being played as the COVID-19 continues to rage across the country, both teams will have travel plans and logistical processes unique to this season. Attendance will be limited to 22,000 fans, 7,500 of which will be vaccinated healthcare workers.
Though the game will be broadcast on CBS, there are plenty of other options for cord cutters and those who are looking to stream the game.
