Los Angeles Rams vs New England Patriots
Super Bowl LIII
Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta, USA
Sunday, February 3 2019
Kick-off: 11:30pm GMT

The New England Patriots will play in their third Super Bowl in as many years when they take on the Los Angeles Rams in the NFL's season finale in Atlanta on February 3.

The Rams will be playing in their first Super Bowl since returning to Los Angeles from St Louis, with their sole triumph coming at the end of the 1999 season.

The Patriots, by contrast, have won five Super Bowl titles, all five coming since 2001, under the Tom Brady (quarterback) and Bill Belichick (head coach) partnership.

Both sides needed overtime victories on the road to reach this stage, with the Rams toppling the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Championship game, and the Patriots overcoming the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC equivalent.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are the most succesful team in Super Bowl history, having won it six times. The Patriots are currently on five wins, alongside the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys, and will match the Steelers' record with a win in Atlanta.

​The Miami Dolphins of 1972 are the only team to have completed a 'perfect season', winning every regular season game and then going on to win the Super Bowl crown.

​Only four current NFL franchises have never played in a Super Bowl, although a further eight have never won the showpiece, including the Buffalo Bills, who lost four succesive Super Bowls between 1990-1993.
