What channel is the Super Bowl on today? Time, TV schedule for 49ers vs. Chiefs

Sahil Kurup, USA TODAY NETWORK

"Mr. Irrelevant" looks extremely relevant now.

Brock Purdy leads his San Francisco 49ers into Super Bowl 58 against the ever-electrifying Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.

An Iowa State Cyclone and Iowa Hawkeye have joined forces, as Iowa State's Purdy lines up alongside Iowa's George Kittle to headline the Super Bowl as players that will need to step up in a big way if they hope to steal a ring off Mahomes' finger. It won't be an easy task by any means, as the Chiefs look for their third championship in five seasons, while San Francisco looks for its first Super Bowl win since 1995.

Coach Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers offense will likely lean on running back Christian McCaffrey to punish the Chiefs defense at the line of scrimmage, the team's calling card all season on its way to the NFC's No. 1 seed. Meanwhile, the 49ers defense will look to contain Mahomes and stifle his ability to extend plays and launch laser-like throws down the field.
