Super Bowl 55 is less than a week away and this year we will see the Kansas City Chiefs tackle the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Tampa, Florida at Raymond James Stadium. This will be the first year in NFL history that a team plays a Super Bowl in its home stadium. In 2017, the NFL announced that the game was officially awarded to Tampa after the league moved the Super Bowl that was originally scheduled for Los Angeles from 2021 to 2022.

Which two teams will play in the Super Bowl this year?
The Kansas City Chiefs ended the regular season with a 14-2-0 record. The Chiefs’ last Super Bowl appearance was last year where QB Patrick Mahomes, who signed a $ 450 million ten-year extension in July 2019, became the youngest quarterback to be named Super Bowl MVP. Including last season, Kansas City competed in the Super Bowl three times. In Super Bowl 1 (1967) they lost to the Packers, 35-10 and in Super Bowl 4 (1970) when they defeated the Vikings 23-7.
Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ended the regular season with an 11-5 record. Brady will make his 10th Super Bowl appearance in his career. However, this will be Tampa Bay’s second Super Bowl appearance in franchise history. They first took place in 2003 (Super Bowl 37) when they defeated the Raiders 48-21.
