The Super Bowl 2023 matchup is set with the Kansas City Chiefs facing the Philadelphia Eagles at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, United States on Feb.12.  
 
The Chiefs landed in the Super Bowl 2023 after beating the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 in the AFC Championship game at their home stadium on Sunday, while the Eagles booked a spot in the tournament after triumphing over the San Francisco 49ers 31-7 in the NFC Championship game on the same day at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
 
The Chiefs are regular Super Bowl contenders in recent years but they've been out of luck for the last couple of years. Since last winning the Super Bowl in 2020, the Kansas City team has lost the 2021 Super Bowl to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and failed to reach the Super Bowl in 2022 after losing the AFC Championship game to the Bengals.  
 
Having won the Super Bowl twice in 1970 and 2020, this is a chance for the Chiefs to secure their third Super Bowl title.  
 
The Eagles, on the other hand, are seeking their second Super Bowl title since they last won in 2018. It is also their first time playing in the game since they became champions.  
 
What is notable about this game is that it is the first Super Bowl match in history in which two brothers are playing against each other.  
 
Travis Kelce of the Chiefs will be facing his older brother Jason Kelce of the Eagles. 
 
The two will most likely clash often during the match, because the younger is a tight end who attacks and the older is a center who mostly defends.  
 
A Kelce brother is guaranteed a Super Bowl title this year, but the Chiefs and Eagles will have to decide which one takes it on Feb.12. 
 
The game will be broadcast at 8:30 a.m. on Feb. 13 in Korea.
