We now know the 32 NFL teams have been whittled down to the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers, who will face-off for Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday February 11th. But with the game being played in Las Vegas, Nevada – just what will the Super Bowl 2024 UK time be?
You can find out below, plus get to grips with all you need to know about the Chiefs vs 49ers NFL Championship Final, from Taylor Swift to a lucky ‘good luck charm’ flag that’s buried under the Allegiant Stadium. Let’s kick-off.
Super Bowl 2024 UK Time: When Is the Final and How To Watch?
Super Bowl LVIII, 58 or 2024 – whatever you want to call it – will start it’s UK coverage at 10pm (GMT), with the game expected to kick-off at 11:30pm.
Meaning for UK NFL fans the action will play well into the night and into Monday morning, so if you haven’t booked the next day off work, you better get planning your ‘Super Sick’ Monday excuses.
NFL experts in the UK will also know that a game consists of four 15 minute quarters, so in theory the match should last 60mins. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth, with the watch stopped every time the ball goes out of play.
Then if you add in the Super Bowl halftime entertainment and much-hyped TV ads – then in reality the Super Bowl will last around 3 1/2 hours.
Make sure you’ve got plenty of midnight snacks and some toothpicks to keep the eyelids open.

Super Bowl 2024 Date and Venue: Who Will Play Their Cards Right In Las Vegas?
What about the Super Bowl date? This year’s renewal will be played on Sunday 11th February 2024 at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The 65,000-capacity venue is home to the Las Vegas Raiders and was only opened in 2020. It will be the first time a Super Bowl has been played at the stadium.
Which NFL Sides Are Playing in Super Bowl 2024?
Super Bowl 58 will be between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers.
This will be the second time the sides have met in the biggest NFL game of all, having also met in Super Bowl LIV in 2020. That clash ended with a 31-20 win to the Chiefs, so can they repeat the dose?
The Kansas City Chiefs are also the current Super Bowl holders. Having beaten the Philadelphia Eagles last season in a thrilling finale that ended 38-35.
That win provided the Chiefs with their third Super Bowl, having also lifted the Vince Lombardi Trophy in 2020 and 1970.
Having made the 2024 final, this now also means the Chiefs have now been involved in four of the last five Super Bowls.
Chiefs Hoping to Be First ‘Back-to-Back’ Super Bowl Winners Since Patriots
The Chiefs will also be looking to become the first Super Bowl back-to-back winners since New England Patriots won in 2004 and 2005, plus would become only the nineth repeat winners.
No team is yet to win the Super Bowl three times on the spin.
Kansas were also involved in the first ever Super Bowl in 1967, when losing out to the Green Bay Packers 35-10.
The San Francisco 49ers are one of the most successful Super Bowl sides with five wins under their belts. Their most recent though was back in 1995 – seeing off the Chargers 49-26.
While their first was in 1982 when beating the Bengals 26-21 and other winning years were 1985, 1989 and 1990.
Super Bowl Records: Chiefs & 49ers
- Kansas City Chiefs: Wins 3, Appearances 7
- San Francisco 49ers: Wins 5, Appearances 12
Which Teams Have Won The Most Super Bowls?
It’s the Steelers and the Patriots that currently lead the Super Bowl way with six win each. However, the 49ers are hot on their heels with five successes.
Therefore, a win at Super Bowl LVIII for San Fran will see them equal their impressive hauls.
- Pittsburgh Steelers: 6
- New England Patriots: 6
- San Francisco 49ers: 5
- Dallas Cowboys: 5
- New York Giants: 4
- Green Bay Packers: 4
- Kansas City Chiefs: 3
Who Did the Chiefs and 49ers Beat To Get To The Super Bowl?
San Francisco landed their place at Super Bowl 58, after an amazing second half comeback that saw them overturn a 17- point deficit beat the Detroit Lions 34-31.
The Kansas City Chiefs saw off the Baltimore Ravens in their NFL Conference match 17-10 to reach the Super Bowl.
Who Are the Chiefs and 49ers Star Quarterbacks?
Patrick Mahomes (Kansas City Chiefs) is one of the biggest stars in the NFL and is looking to lead the Chiefs to back-to-back Super Bowl titles. Chasing his third MVP award, Mahomes will take part in his fourth Super Bowl in six years. All at the age of just 29.
Brock Purdy’s (San Francisco 49ers) rise to the top has been nothing short of a miracle. After being last pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, he has allowed 49ers fans to dream of glory after leading his team to the Super Bowl in just his first full season as their starting quarterback.
What About the Chiefs vs 49ers Head-to-Head Record?
The Chiefs and 49ers have actually only met 15 times before and it’s a tight one in the overall series.
Kansas holds the bragging rights – but only just – with eight wins, to seven for the 49ers.
They last faced-off on 23rd October 2022 at the Levi’s Stadium in San Francisco, with the Chiefs winning 44-23.
Good Luck Charm Chiefs Flag Buried Under the Allegiant Stadium
If you believe in superstitions or just weird things in general – how about this.
When the Super Bowl 2024 Allegiant Stadium was being built in 2017 one of the construction workers took a photo of his mate with a Chiefs flag and they buried it under the pitch in concrete. Where it remains today.
He later posted it on Facebook.
Saying “Flag buried in dirt, encased in concrete, with a stadium built on top if it…..Chiefs 1, Raiders o”.
However, the spooky thing is since the buried Chiefs flag – Kansas have played at the Stadium, where the Las Vegas Raiders play, four times and are YET TO LOSE.
- 2023: Chiefs won, 31-17
- 2023: Chiefs won, 31-13
- 2021: Chiefs won, 41-14
- 2020: Chiefs won, 35-31

How Much Are Super Bowl 58 Tickets Costing?
Super Bowl LVIII will be staged in Las Vegas – the Entertainment Capital of the World.
Therefore, it goes without saying, prices are going to sky-rocket around Super Bowl week.
But how much will the average ticket to the Super Bowl cost?
According to ticket resale site Seat Geek, the average Super Bowl 58 ticket is currently at $12,000, with the cheapest at $9,800.
These Super Bowl ticket prices are said to be up just over 35% from last year over the same period.
Who Will Sing The Super Bowl 58 National Anthem?
A well-known singing star blasting out the Star-Spangled Banner is another regular feature at the Super Bowl with NFL fans always eager to know who this in in the build-up.
This year it’s ‘Queen of Country’ Reba McEntire that has been handed the Super Bowl National Anthem honours and will open the show with her rendition of the SSB.
The 68 year-old will be signing at the Super Bowl for the first time, but is certainly no stranger to performing at big US events, having been behind the mic for nine National Rodeo Finals.
We will also see rockstar Post Malone, who will perform America The Beautiful.
Plus, singer Andra Day will blurt out ‘ Lift Every Voice and Sing’.
Who’s Performing At The Super Bowl 2024 Half-Time Show?
The Super Bowl entertainment show continues at half-time too, with many top artists over the years having kept the crowd on their toes during the break.
This year, it will be the turn of Usher as the big headline Super Bowl halfway act. He takes the baton off Rihanna, who performed in 2023.
Usher had a Vegas residency at the Park MGM only last year so will know the place inside out.
When given the gig, he said.
“It’s an honour of a lifetime to finally check a Super Bowl performance off my bucket list,”.
“I can’t wait to bring the world a show unlike anything else they’ve seen from me before.”
UK fans can expect to see Usher strutting his stuff at around 1:15am on Monday 12th February.
Why Is Taylor Swift Being Linked With The Super Bowl?
Finally, some NFL and Super Bowl followers might also be wondering why Taylor Swift’s name keeps cropping up in chat surrounding the Kansas City Chiefs.
Well, in short Swift’s current boyfriend is Chiefs star Travis Kelce, who she started dating last year.
She’s since been sighted at many Kansas games sporting their jersey and (unless there is a monster break-up between now and the 11th of Feb) Swift is certain to be in the Super Bowl 2024 crowd.
Taylor Swift, however, is still on tour in Japan, but lucky for her this runs from the 7th -10th February. The day before the action starts in Vegas.
There are also some rumours doing the Super Bowl rounds that Swift might tag along with Usher for the half-time performance and sing a few songs with the ‘Burn’ singer. We’ll have to wait to see on the night.
Enjoy the game.
