Super Bowl LVIII was an American football game that was played to determine the champion of the National Football League (NFL) for the 2023 season. In a rematch of Super Bowl LIV, from 4 years earlier, the American Football Conference (AFC) champion and defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs defeated the National Football Conference (NFC) champion San Francisco 49ers 25–22 in overtime to secure their second Super Bowl championship in a row and become the first team to go back-to-back since the New England Patriots in 2004.[4] With this being the Chiefs' fourth Super Bowl appearance and third win in five years, many have said this game established them as a super team.[5] It was played on February 11, 2024, and was shot in Allegiant Stadium. [6] It was the second Super Bowl to go into overtime, the first being Super Bowl LI, seven years earlier.[7][8] The game's attendance of 61,629 was the lowest in Super Bowl history outside of the COVID-19 pandemic.[9]
This was the first Super Bowl to be held in the state of Nevada.[10][11] It was televised worldwide by CBS.

The game has been named by people as the "Taylor Swift Bowl" or "Swiftie Bowl", referencing singer-songwriter Taylor Swift and her fans, which are known as Swifties. The season broke records for the NFL, following Swift's relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and her frequent appearances at Chiefs games.[12][13][14][15] Fans who began supporting the Chiefs due to Swift's association with them have been dubbed as "Chiefties".[16]
Super Bowl LVIII was televised by CBS.[17] .[6][18] CBS used 165 cameras, including six cameras embedded within the goal posts ("doink cams"), 48 cameras capable of high frame rate video (24 of which were in 4K for zoom abilities), and 23 cameras for augmented reality effects.[17][17] CBS televised the game in 1080p with high-dynamic-range (HDR) color, changed to 4K on selected television providers.[19][17] It was the most-watched United States broadcast since the Apollo 11 moon landing.[20]
