The Kansas City Chiefs, 16-2, will play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 14-5, on Feb. 7 in Tampa, Florida. Kickoff is at 5:30 p.m. Central time, and the game will air on CBS (Ch. 5 in Kansas City). Jim Nantz and Tony Romo will be the broadcasters in the booth with Tracy Wolfson, Evan Washburn and Jay Feely reporting. Rules analyst Gene Steratore also will work the game.
Super Bowl LV also will be broadcast on ESPN Deportes.
There are a number of streaming options for phones, tablets and connected televisions. It will be available on the NFL app, the CBS Sports app and the CBS All-Access subscription. The Super Bowl also will stream on the Yahoo Sports app for phones or tablets.

At 11 a.m., NFL Films’ “Road to the Super Bowl” will be shown.

A show called “Tony Goes to the Super Bowl” will begin at noon, as Romo chats with title-winning quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady, Russell Wilson and Aaron Rodgers.
From 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. is “The Super Bowl Today,” with the usual CBS studio co-hosts James Brown, Boomer Esiason, Bill Cowher, Phil Simms and Nate Burleson. Other guests are expected to join to talk Chiefs and Buccaneers.
