Both teams will head to Miami for Super Bowl LIV on Sunday, February 2. The 49ers are looking to match Pittsburgh and New England for the most Super Bowl wins (they currently have five). Meanwhile, the Chiefs are attempting to get their first victory since 1970, when they won their only Super Bowl title against the Minnesota Vikings. Festivities will begin in Florida later next week, with kickoff set for 6:30 pm ET on Sunday.

The NHL’s top stars have gathered in St. Louis this weekend to show off their stuff.

5. Zion Stuns in NBA Debut
The No. 1 overall draft pick Zion Williamson made his way onto the NBA court for the first time on Wednesday at New Orleans Pelicans’ arena. He had been out all season because of knee surgery, but came in strong for his big debut, finishing with 22 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. The Pelicans may have lost 121-117 against the San Antonio Spurs, but Williamson certainly proved his worth.
