Super Bowl 2022: What to know about the game

January 25, 2022:

Super Bowl LVI is only a few weeks away and there is still a lot that has to be determined.

The AFC and NFC Championships are still up for grabs.

The AFC Championship Game will feature the Kansas City Chiefs going up against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Chiefs are looking for their third-consecutive Super Bowl appearance while the Bengals are hoping to win their first conference title since the 1988 season.

The NFC Championship Game will feature the Los Angeles Rams going up against the San Francisco 49ers. Both teams have made the Super Bowl over the last 10 years but both teams have come up on the losing side. They are hoping that a win on Sunday will give them enough momentum to get over the hump.

Much like last season, the threat of a coronavirus outbreak still looms large. Super Bowl organizers have said that the show will go on despite the emergence of the omicron variant. Los Angeles County officials expect the stadium, which seats 70,000 plus, will be at max capacity for the event.

As of Dec. 15, fans ages 5 years and older attending SoFi Stadium must provide a proof of full vaccination or a negative PCR COVID test within 48 hours prior to the event and within 24 hours with an antigen test. Guests 18 years and older must have a photo I.D. and masks are required at all times unless eating or drinking.
