We love sports for the drama. The narratives. Our favorites, bidding for history or clawing away as the unfancied underdogs.
It all stirs our emotions because of one thing: the shared experience — whether it’s our family, friends, or simply strangers wearing the right colors, what happens on the field brings us together.
With the iconic, compelling spectacle of the Super Bowl, that collective power is as strong as it gets.
So, with New Orleans hosting Super Bowl LIX, the Philadelphia Eagles bidding for their second ring and Kansas City looking to create a historic three-peat, we want to celebrate that shared experience.
Tell us the story of your watch party, send in your photos of the living room seating arrangements, and share the reasons that have brought you all together to enjoy the Superdome action.
All you need to do is use #gatherforthegame on your social media post — be it X, Threads, Bluesky or Instragram (or any others?!) — and we’ll get you involved in our live coverage of Super Bowl LIX.
If you’d prefer, you can email us directly at: NFLlive@theathletic.com.
Whether it’s the Saquon Barkley show or Patrick Mahomes immortality, here’s to us all enjoying the fact we get to take it in together.
