Super Bowl LV, the 55th Super Bowl and the 51st modern-era National Football League (NFL) championship game, will decide the league champion for the 2020 NFL season. The American Football Conference (AFC) champion Kansas City Chiefs (who are also the defending Super Bowl champions) will play the National Football Conference (NFC) champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With pending developments on the COVID-19 pandemic, the game is scheduled to be played on February 7, 2021, at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.[5] This will be the fifth Super Bowl hosted by the Tampa area and the third held at Raymond James Stadium. It will be the fourth time that the Super Bowl was in the same state in back-to-back years; Super Bowl LIV took place at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.[6]

This Super Bowl will mark three milestones, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be the first team to play a Super Bowl in its home stadium,[7] Tampa Bay quarterback Tom Brady will play in his record 10th Super Bowl,[8] and with COVID-19 health restrictions limiting stadium capacity to 22,000 fans, it will be the lowest attended Super Bowl.[9] Additionally, this marks the first time since Super Bowl XLV that a wild card team will appear in the Super Bowl.

The game will be televised nationally by CBS. Country music singer Eric Church and R&B singer Jazmine Sullivan will perform the national anthem, while the halftime show will be headlined by Canadian singer The Weeknd.[4]
