Good morning and welcome to our live coverage of Super Bowl LIX between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.
The Eagles dominated their NFC rivals the Washington Commanders in a historic 55-23 victory to reach their fifth Super Bowl.
They will need to be at their very best if they are to lift the Vince Lombardi trophy for the second time, with the two-time defending champions the Kansas City Chiefs the favorites to win.
The Chiefs edged the Buffalo Bills 32-29 to win their third consecutive AFC title. They are aiming for an unprecedented third-straight Super Bowl win.
