The Miami Dolphins will watch today as a bitter division rival plays for a spot in the 2025 Super Bowl.
The five-time reigning AFC East champion Buffalo Bills are one of four teams still alive for the NFL championship game, and they’re the only one that has yet to win the Lombardi Trophy. The Bills can make it to the Super Bowl for the first time in 31 years if they topple the Kansas City Chiefs, back-to-back league champs, in the AFC championship game.
That’s not the longest big-game drought of this weekend’s NFL playoff teams, however. The Washington Commanders have three Super Bowl titles but last made it in 1992 under a different name. They will look to punch their ticket in the NFC championship game against the division rival Philadelphia Eagles, who last played for the championship in 2023 and won it all in 2018.
Here’s everything you need to know about Super Bowl 2025, including the time, date, location and how to watch on TV and streaming:

That’s tied for the most all time with Miami. The last time the Super Bowl was at the Superdome was 2013, when Joe Flacco led the Baltimore Ravens over Colin Kaepernick and the San Francisco 49ers 34-31.
A U.S. citizen drove a pickup through Bourbon Street on New Year’s Day ahead of the Sugar Bowl College Football Playoff game in New Orleans, killing 14 people and injuring at least 57. The NFL has said it is working with local, state and federal authorities to ensure security will be tight at the Super Bowl.
