Super Bowl LV was a big American football game. It decided the champion of the National Football League (NFL) for the 2020 season. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers from the National Football Conference (NFC) played against the Kansas City Chiefs from the American Football Conference (AFC).
The Buccaneers won the game 31–9. It happened on February 7, 2021, at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. This was special because the Buccaneers played in their own home stadium. They were the first team ever to do this in a Super Bowl!
The Buccaneers were also a "wild card" team. This means they made it to the playoffs without winning their division. Their quarterback, Tom Brady, played in his 10th Super Bowl. He won his 7th Super Bowl, which are both amazing records for any player. The Chiefs had hoped to win again, after winning the Super Bowl the year before.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, fewer fans could attend the game. Only about 25,000 people were there. This made it the least-attended Super Bowl ever. Tom Brady was named the Super Bowl MVP. He threw three touchdowns and helped his team win.
During the game, country music singer Eric Church and R&B singer Jazmine Sullivan sang the national anthem. The halftime show featured the Canadian singer the Weeknd.
