Of 57 Super Bowl matchups, only eight have been rematches. When the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers meet in Super Bowl 58, a ninth will be added to the ledger in Las Vegas.

In 2019, Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid secured their first championship rings as the Chiefs downed Kyle Shanahan's 49ers in Super Bowl 54. In a rematch four years in the making, Shanahan has a chance to levy some revenge and capture that elusive Super Bowl ring as the NFC representative once again.
