FOX Sports made a significant announcement for Super Bowl 59 during Thanksgiving on Thursday.
The network will call Super Bowl 59 inside the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, on Feb. 9. Tom Brady, Kevin Burkhardt and Erin Andrews will be on the call for the big game.
In September, Grammy Award-winning rapper Kendrick Lamar was announced as the headliner for the Super Bowl halftime show. Yesterday, FOX made several more major announcements for the big dance.
The network announced that Jon Batiste will perform the national anthem, with Trombone Shorty and Lauren Daigle singing “America the Beautiful.” Ledisi, who’s from New Orleans, will perform “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”

This season’s game will be the eighth Super Bowl contest played at the legendary Superdome venue. New Orleans last hosted a Super Bowl in the 2012 season, when John Harbaugh’s Baltimore Ravens beat younger brother Jim and his San Francisco 49ers.

Unlike previous years, the field for Super Bowl 59 is wide open. The 11-1 Detroit Lions are the consensus favorites to win it all, but one can’t sleep on the 9-2 Minnesota Vikings, 9-2 Philadelphia Eagles or 9-3 Green Bay Packers, either.
In the AFC, Patrick Mahomes and the back-to-back Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs are obviously the team to beat. But Josh Allen’s Buffalo Bills, Mike Tomlin’s Pittsburgh Steelers and Lamar Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens will have something to say about that.
The Chiefs are looking to complete the first three-peat in Super Bowl history, having defeated the San Francisco 49ers in the big game last season to complete the first repeat in 19 years.
Super Bowl 59 Is Anyone’s To Win
Aside from the top tier of challengers we just outlined, one shouldn’t bet against a team like the defending NFC champion San Francisco 49ers or Jim Harbaugh’s star-studded Los Angeles Chargers from potentially making a run.
