Super Bowl LIV - San Francisco 49ers v Kansas City Chiefs — Who will call coin toss at Super Bowl 2024? Everything you need to know for Chiefs-49ers showdown

The San Francisco 49ers will call the coin toss in their Super Bowl 2024 showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs. It is important to note that while visiting teams get to call the coin toss during the regular season, during the Super Bowl, it's a different ball game.

The Super Bowl tradition is that the home team title alternates between the annual AFC and NFC Conferences. Hence, the even-number responsibility falls upon the AFC franchise, while the odd-numbers fall on the NFC side. The Kansas City Chiefs did the honor last year.
