It's that time once again! America's two best football teams are all set to face off this weekend and prove that, yes, it's still possible to get nearly everybody in the country to watch one show.

Super Bowl LI will take place on Sunday, Feb. 5 in Houston, Texas, with the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons taking the field. That's the basics, of course, but if there's anything else you want to know about the big game, TVGuide.com has you covered. See the answers to your burning Super Bowl LI questions below.

Who is playing in the Super Bowl?

This year's Super Bowl is between the New England Patriots and the Atlanta Falcons.

Going into the game the Patriots had the best season in the NFL with 14 wins and 2 losses. The Falcons enter the game with a regular season 11-5 record, but pulled off major upsets against the Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers to make it into the big game. Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is looking to break Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw's record of four Super Bowl wins by adding a fifth ring to his collection.
