Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has revealed his picks for the upcoming NFL season, forecasting a Super Bowl LX meeting between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs. The NBA veteran shared his annual prediction on Aug. 28, 2025, during a video segment for DraftKings Sportsbook.
James declined to name a winner but anticipates a third straight championship clash between the two franchises. Philadelphia defeated Kansas City 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX, powered by a dominant defensive front that pressured Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes throughout the game.
The Eagles enter the 2025 campaign as NFC favorites thanks to what many analysts consider the league’s deepest roster. The Chiefs remain among the AFC’s top contenders, though competition in the conference has intensified.
James, an avid football fan who regularly supports the Cleveland Browns, also labeled his hometown team a potential sleeper. Cleveland boasts a talented roster but faces uncertainty at quarterback, where rookie Shedeur Sanders is expected to compete for snaps.
The four-time NBA champion’s football interest dates back to high school, when he excelled as a wide receiver. He even contemplated an NFL tryout during the 2011 NBA lockout before recommitting to basketball. His sustained excellence on the court has led teams such as the Golden State Warriors to explore possible trades for him on multiple occasions.
The 2025 NFL regular season kicks off next week, while James is set to begin his 23rd NBA campaign later this fall.
