Super Bowl 2024 will feature a rematch of Super Bowl 2019 between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers. The big game will see Patrick Mahomes and Co. attempt to be the first franchise in 19 years to win back-to-back Super Bowl games.

In their way is a stacked San Francisco 49ers’ roster coached by offensive genius Kyle Shanahan. The 49ers had the best record in the NFC Conference and featured Pro Bowlers George Kittle, Brock Purdy, Nick Bosa, Trent Williams, and more.
