Taking place at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, millions of people from all over the world will tune in for the huge event, which will make its debut in Sin City on February 11.
But before the game takes place, the conference championship on January 28 will decide which teams will play in the Super Bowl.
Here is everything you need to know...
When is Super Bowl LVIII?
Typically the Super Bowl takes place on the first Sunday in February, however, due to an additional game in the regular NFL season, this year it will take place on February 11.
Taking place in Las Vegas, the game will start earlier than usual so that it can still fall into the prime time viewing slot on the East Coast. That means that it will start at 3:30 pm PST, 6:30 pm EST, and 11:30 pm GMT.
Which teams will play?
The conference championship on January 28 will determine the teams which will play in the Super Bowl. Currently, the Baltimore Ravens will play against the Kansas City Chiefs, while the San Francisco 49ers will go head-to-head with the Detroit Lions.
The winners of these games will head to the Allegiant Stadium on February 11.
Who will perform at halftime?
Usher, the King of R&B, will perform the 2024 Super Bowl halftime show. With nine number-one singles, eight Grammys, and one Diamond-certified record, Usher is one of the best-selling artists of all time. Fans may already be excited to hear him perform "Yeah!", "OMG", or even "My Boo".
The Super Bowl halftime show is one of the biggest gigs in the country, as the biggest stars perform on a huge stage with millions watching. In the past, the likes of Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, and Rihanna have taken to the stage. Some of the West Coast's finest rappers - Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Kendrick Lamar - dominated the stage with Eminem and Mary J. Blige in 2022.
Needless to say, the Super Bowl is usually a legendary slot where stars perform a medley of their hits.
Who else is performing?
Reba McEntire and Post Malone will headline the pre-game entertainment, with the country songstress singing the national anthem while Post Malone will sing "America the Beautiful". Andra Day will sing "Lift Every Voice and Sing" ahead of the game.
