The Super Bowl is considered by many as the greatest show on Earth. As well as the teams that have battled it out to be there in the most prestigious game of the NFL season, you have the singing of the American national anthem, the spectacular halftime show and the amusing halftime commercials. You’ve got the drama of the game. You’ve got touchdowns and the celebrations that follow. Even after the event, the game is still going on in people’s heads as they chat about it at the water cooler in the office.
2025 will see Super Bowl LIX (59) head to the Caesars Superdrome, in New Orleans, Louisiana. The game takes place on February 9. In this post, you’ll find everything you need to know about the 2025 Super Bowl, including why prop betting is such a big part of it. It’s more important than you think!
The importance of props betting in the Super Bowl
The Super Bowl is one of those events that even when you’re not a sports betting, you still feel like laying down a wager on the event. Sports betting enables fans who don’t follow sport to engage more with a particular sport. By studying statistics, reading blogs and learning as much you can about the sport, you can make predictions about outcomes and other aspects of the game.
Super Bowl prop bets are a big part of wagering on the Super Bowl because you’re betting on other aspects of the game and of the event, not on the outcome. You might bet on the player most likely to score a touchdown. You might bet on passing or rushing or defensive aspects. You might place an over/under bet on the length of the national anthem or on the length of specific songs in the halftime show. You don’t necessarily have to know about football to place props bets.

The 2025 Super Bowl will be New Orlean’s 11th time as the event hosts.
The winners of the NFC championship game between Washington Commanders and the Philadelphia Eagles, and the AFC championship game between the Buffalo Bills and the Kansas City Chiefs, will play for the Lombardi trophy. If the Chiefs win the event, it will be their third consecutive Super Bowl win.

The price of tickets
As you can imagine, tickets to the biggest event in the US sporting calendar aren’t cheap.
The cheapest price for a ticket is around $6,600. The average price for a ticket is around $9,500. The two Super Bowl teams split 35% of the tickets, the host team receives 5% and the other 29 NFL teams get about 1% and hold a lottery for season ticket holders.
The league keeps 25% of the tickets for media members, business and community partner. It doesn’t hold onto every single ticket, however, and will give away approximately 500 tickets.
The national anthem
Jon Batiste will sing the US national anthem. Batiste was the bandleader of Stay Human. Each night, Stay Human were the house band for “The Late Show” with Stephen Colbert.
The halftime show
Kendrick Lamar will be headlining the halftime show, which will last up to 15 minutes. Super Bowl half time is 20 to 30 minutes because of the show.
This will be the second time the Compton-born rapper, singer and songwriter has performed at the Super Bowl. His first was alongside Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Eminem and Dr Dre at Super Bowl LVI (56) in 2022.
Lamar is expected to play “HUMBLE,” one of his biggest hits, at the show. This song is energetic and always gets crowds fired up.
The name of the Super Bowl trophy
The Vince Lombardi Trophy is the Super Bowl trophy and is named after the legendary coach Vince Lombardi. The NFL Hall of Famer took the Green Bay Packers to victory in the first two Super Bowls.
The luxurious trophy itself is made of sterling silver. It weighs 107.03 ounces and has a height of 22.75 inches.
The length of a Super Bowl game
Normally, a Super Bowl game lasts about 3 hours because of the pauses in the game, including the halftime show which makes halftime slightly longer. There are 60 minutes of effective gameplay.
The world is just a couple of weeks away now from the Super Bowl and fans await eagerly to see which two teams will battle it out for the most coveted trophy in US sport. The Eagles are the favorites to walk away with the title, but the NFL is more than capable of producing upsets. Let’s see what happens on February 9th.
