Who will be the officials for Super Bowl 2023?
Veteran NFL official Carl Cheffers will referee for Super Bowl LVII between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs at State Farm Stadium.
The Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs will meet in Super Bowl LVII, but who will be officiating the big game?
Carl Cheffers, 62, has been an NFL official for the past 23 years and will be the head referee in the game between the Eagles and Chiefs. He most recently officiated the Divisional Round matchup between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Buffalo Bills.
Cheffers was the referee for Super Bowls LI and LV, where Tom Brady emerged victorious. The official oversaw the epic comeback of the New England Patriots against the Atlanta Falcons in his first Super Bowl assignment. In the second, TB12 and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, who were penalized 11 times for 120 yards.
The rest of the crew
Umpire Roy Ellison will be in his third Super Bowl. The first two were LII and the XLIII. Jeff Bergman, linesman, plans to retire after Super Bowl LVII. The official has spent 30 seasons in the NFL and has experience in the LIII and XXXI editions of the championship game.
Eugene Hall, side judge, and Dino Paganelli, back judge, were part of Cheffers’ team in Super Bowl LV. The former also participated in LIII and the latter in XLVII.
