Super Bowl week is finally upon us. The longest season in NFL history will commence Sunday when the Bengals and Rams face off in Super Bowl LVI. It will be the first Super Bowl played inside SoFi Stadium, as the Rams are vying to become the second consecutive team to hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy on their home turf. 

The Rams' home field advantage is one of the main headlines heading into Super Bowl week. Speaking of headlines, expect more than a few headlines to come out of Super Bowl opening night, which will take place Monday.

Below is a preview of what you can expect to see, as well as how you can watch the action.

The two-hour special will include interviews with coaches Sean McVay and Zac Taylor as well as interviews with quarterbacks Joe Burrow and Matthew Stafford. McVay, who is coaching in his second Super Bowl, would become the youngest head coach to win the Super Bowl if the Rams can defeat the Bengals. Taylor, who led the Bengals to the franchise's first Super Bowl berth in 33 years, served as McVay's quarterbacks coach when the Rams fell to the Patriots in Super Bowl LIII. 

Burrow and Stafford are the second pair of former No. 1 overall picks at quarterback to face each other in the Super Bowl. Burrow is looking to become the first quarterback to win a Heisman Trophy, national championship and Super Bowl. Stafford is looking to cap off his first season in Los Angeles with a Super Bowl ring. Burrow and the Bengals are in pursuit of the franchise's first Vince Lombardi Trophy. Stafford and the Rams are vying to win the franchise's second Super Bowl and first as a Los Angeles-based team. 

Both teams will conduct virtual media sessions earlier in the day. Members of the Bengals will speak to the media Monday morning at 10 a.m. EST. The Rams will hold their virtual media session at 5 p.m. EST. The Bengals will conduct their virtual media session from Cincinnati before arriving in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
