We hope you’re ready for some NFL playoff football! The 2023 Super Bowl, officially called Super Bowl LVII (or Super Bowl 57 for those who can’t stand Roman numerals), pits Jalen Hurts’s Philadelphia Eagles against Patrick Mahomes’s Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, February 12. The Eagles are chasing their second Super Bowl victory, while the Chiefs hope to add a third Lombardi Trophy to their collection.

| Game | Date | Time (ET) / TV | Location | Live stream |
| Philadelphia Eagles vs. Kansas City Chiefs | Sunday, Feb. 12, 2023 | 6:30 p.m. ET | State Farm Stadium, Glendale, Arizona | Fox Sports App / FoxSports.com |
Eagles (NFC champions) vs. Chiefs (AFC champions): It all comes down to this. The Eagles and Chiefs have each won Super Bowls in the last five years, and both are hungry to enjoy another championship parade. Although Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (shoulder) and Chiefs gunslinger Patrick Mahomes (ankle) have been hobbled in recent weeks, both are expected to be fully ready for the Super Bowl, and we’re amped to see how this year’s Big Game turns out. We not only believe the experienced Chiefs will earn a 28-21 victory, but that Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce will earn Super Bowl MVP honors along the way (much to the chagrin of his brother, Eagles center and fellow All-Pro Jason Kelce).
Super Bowl LVII schedule
Super Bowl Sunday is always a busy day! Here’s a rough outline of when football fans should expect every meaningful event during Super Bowl LVII.
When does the Super Bowl pregame show start?
Fox will officially begin its pregame coverage at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday, February 13.
When will the national anthem be played?
Country music superstar and eight-time Grammy Award winner Chris Stapleton will sing the national anthem at Super Bowl 57, and 12-time Grammy Award winner Babyface will sing “America the Beautiful.” Emmy-award-winning actress, Sheryl Lee Ralph, will sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” As the game is slated to kick off shortly after 6:30 p.m. ET, football fans should expect to hear all three songs shortly after 6 p.m.
When does Super Bowl LVII begin?
Although Super Bowl LVII officially has a 6:30 p.m. ET kickoff time, the game likely won’t start until roughly 6:35 because of commercials.
When is the Super Bowl LVII halftime show?
The Super Bowl LVII halftime show does not have a set start or end time. Rihanna will take the stage shortly after the first half ends. However, barring any lengthy delays, the halftime show will likely begin sometime around 8:15 p.m. ET.
When is the Super Bowl LVII trophy presentation?
Barring any lengthy delays or the game going to overtime, Super Bowl LVII will likely end sometime around 10 p.m. ET. Expect the trophy presentation to begin shortly thereafter.

Vikings (NFC North champions) vs. Giants (Wild Card): Giants quarterback Daniel Jones played arguably the best game of his four-year NFL career, totaling 379 all-purpose yards (301 passing, 78 rushing) and scoring twice in a 31-24 road upset over the Vikings. New York won its first playoff game since defeating the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 46 over a decade ago.
Buccaneers (NFC South champions) vs. Cowboys (Wild Card): Dak Prescott accounted for five touchdowns, including four in the air, and the Cowboys dominated Tom Brady’s Buccaneers to end Super Wild Card Weekend. Dallas shut Tampa Bay out in the first half en route to a commanding 31-14 win.
AFC Wild Card Round (winner in bold)
| Game | Date | Time (ET) / TV | Location | Live stream |

Jaguars (AFC South champions) vs. Chargers (Wild Card): No lead is safe when the Los Angeles Chargers are involved. Despite trailing 27-0 in the second quarter, the Jaguars rallied and walked away with a thrilling 31-30 victory over the Bolts. Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence threw four touchdowns and three touchdowns in the club’s first playoff victory since January 2018.
Bills (AFC East champions) vs. Dolphins (Wild Card): Things looked over when the reeling, injury-plagued Dolphins went down 17-0 in the second quarter. However, rookie quarterback Skylar Thompson teamed up with a hungry defense to keep Miami in the hunt against the heavily-favored Bills. Nonetheless, Josh Allen and the Bills escaped with a 34-31 victory over their AFC East rivals.
Bengals (AFC North champions) vs. Ravens (Wild Card): Momentum favored the fading Ravens, who had an opportunity to take the lead in the fourth quarter. However, Baltimore quarterback Tyler Huntley fumbled at the goal line, and Bengals defensive end Sam Hubbard took the ball 98 yards for a touchdown and a 24-17 lead. Cincinnati held on and knocked their AFC North rivals out of the playoffs.
Divisional Round

Eagles (NFC East champions) vs. Giants (Wild Card): The Giants’ storybook season came to an end at the hands of the rival Eagles. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts threw for two touchdowns and rushed for another in a 38-7 rout over Big Blue.
49ers (NFC West Champions) vs. Cowboys (Wild Card): A stingy 49ers defense picked off Dak Prescott twice and kept the Cowboys in check all game. San Francisco rode a Christian McCaffrey touchdown and four Robbie Gould field goals to a 19-12 win.

| Game | Date | Time (ET) / TV | Location | Live stream |
| Jacksonville Jaguars at Kansas City Chiefs | Saturday, Jan. 21, 2023 | 4:30 pm ET | Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, MO | NBC/Peacock/7Plus |
| Cincinnati Bengals at Buffalo Bills | Sunday, Jan. 22, 2023 | 3 pm ET | Highmark Stadium, Buffalo, NY | CBS/Paramount Plus/7Plus |
Chiefs (AFC West champions) vs. Jaguars (AFC South champions): All hail Chad Henne! Although Patrick Mahomes threw two touchdowns in the Chiefs’ 27-20 victory over the Jaguars, the true story was Henne, the 37-year-old backup who led a 98-yard scoring drive when Mahomes left with an ankle injury. Kansas City remained undefeated in the Divisional Round with Mahomes as the starter (5-0).
Bills (AFC East champions) vs. Bengals (AFC North champions): Josh Allen vs. Joe Burrow is the playoff quarterback matchup we deserved, and Burrow showed out in his latest road playoff game. The LSU product threw two touchdowns in a 27-10 road upset over the Bills. Meanwhile, Allen threw an interception and fell short of the AFC Championship Game for the second straight year.
Championship Sunday
NFC Conference Championship Game (winner in bold)

Eagles (NFC East champions) vs. 49ers (NFC West champions): The Eagles’ defense sent 49ers quarterbacks Brock Purdy (elbow) and Josh Johnson (concussion) to the sidelines in Philadelphia’s 31-7 victory. The Eagles reached the Super Bowl for the first time since winning it all five years ago.
AFC Conference Championship Game (winner in bold)
| Game | Date | Time (ET) / TV | Location | Live stream |

Can I stream sports on my phone or tablet?
Yes. ExpressVPN has apps for every major mobile device, including iOS and Android.
How can I stream on my TV with a VPN?
In brief there are five different ways to stream sports on your TV with ExpressVPN:
-With the native app for a smart TV, Android TV device, or other streaming device
-By streaming on your computer and connecting to the TV with an HDMI cable
-By mirroring or casting wirelessly to your TV or streaming device from your computer or mobile device
-By connecting to an ExpressVPN-enabled router, which allows for unlimited devices and makes it super simple to connect to different server locations simultaneously
-With MediaStreamer, ExpressVPN’s solution for devices that cannot install a VPN, such as Apple TV or gaming consoles. MediaStreamer only needs to be set up once, although it does not provide the full security benefits of a VPN. (Note that by connecting your Apple TV or gaming console to a router, you can get the best of both worlds!)
For more information on all the ways to get ExpressVPN on your big-screen TV, click below, or just contact a 24/7 Support agent for step-by-step instructions.
I connected to the suggested VPN server location but I can’t log in to the streaming service!
No worries! Server load changes rapidly (especially when lots of people are trying to watch certain events), but that’s exactly why ExpressVPN has high-speed servers all over the world. If you’re trying to access a site in the U.S. or Germany, for instance, try connecting to a different server location in those countries.
I connected to the VPN but my internet speed is slow
If your internet speed is slow or your streaming seems to lag, there are a few possible reasons:
-The distance of your selected VPN server location from your physical location
-Your connection type (wired connections are more reliable than wireless connections)
-Suboptimal interconnectivity between the VPN and your ISP
-Slow internet connection speed at your location
-Your device type and processing power
Try each of the following steps to troubleshoot:
-Download the latest version of ExpressVPN
-Connect to a different VPN server location
-Change your VPN protocol
If you try each of the above and are still experiencing issues with your streaming speed, contact the ExpressVPN Support Team 24/7 and someone will be with you in seconds.
What other streaming services can I watch with ExpressVPN?
ExpressVPN works seamlessly with all the most popular streaming apps from around the world. Using a VPN for streaming ensures you watch securely in blazing-fast HD with unlimited bandwidth, free from ISP throttling (which can sometimes slow down speeds). If you want to watch your favorite team from anywhere—even while traveling or on unsecured networks like public Wi-Fi—ExpressVPN is a great way to enhance your sports streaming experience.
