San Francisco 49ers will play Kansas City Chiefs in the 2020 Super Bowl tonight.

Around 100 million Americans tune in to watch the NFL’s showpiece game every year, and UK fans will be staying up into the early hours of the morning to join them in watching the match.

This meeting will be the first Super Bowl appearance for the Chiefs in 50 years, the last time they made it this far was in 1970.

If they are able to beat the 49ers the Chiefs will end the second-longest Lombardi Trophy drought among a team who has already won a Super Bowl.

This will be the Niners’ first trip to the big dance since their loss to the Baltimore Ravens in 2013, with Kyle Shanahan hoping to follow in the footsteps of his father Mike Shanahan and become the first father-son Super Bowl-winning head coaches.
