The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles are set to meet in Super Bowl LIX. The Eagles look to win their second Super Bowl in franchise history, while the Chiefs aim to become the first team in the Super Bowl era to win three straight championships. The matchup marks the second time in three seasons the two clubs will meet on the NFL's biggest stage. Kansas City defeated Philadelphia 38-35 in Super Bowl LVII to cap the 2022 campaign. It also marks the second-shortest span between Super Bowl rematches, trailing only the Dallas Cowboys and Buffalo Bills who faced off in back-to-back Super Bowls at the end of the 1992 and 1993 seasons. The Cowboys won both meetings.
