Play was suspended after two men broke onto the field at the Super Bowl.

Two men broke through security and made it onto the field of the Super Bowl between San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Both men made their way onto the pitch while while the Chiefs were completing a third down attempt in the third quarter.


The two pitch invaders were able to run past security but one of the men was stopped before he got onto the pitch.

The other man evaded a couple tackles before he lost his footing and slipped before being dove on by half a dozen security staff.

They were both stopped before getting anywhere near any of the players.

But Patrick Mahomes and other players were visibly furious at the interruption to the game.

The man who made it onto the field was dragged off by seven security staff and appeared to have some writing on his body.

It's not the first time a Super Bowl match featuring the Chiefs has been interrupted by streakers.

Super Bowls in 2020 and 2021 were both disrupted by streakers with Instagram influencer gaining notoriety for running onto the field in Miami.

She was immediately arrested for running onto the playing area and spent the night in jail.

But it proved to be a calculated move by the American model as she cashed in on her new-found fame.

Her Instagram quickly boomed and she now has over one million followers.

Speaking to the New York Times after her stunt, Kay said: “All of a sudden, I wasn’t just the hot girl or the girl that ran on the field.

“I was a hot Instagram influencer that ran on the field and had worldwide attention.

“I saw an opportunity to capitalize, and I saw the power of virality.

Pitch invaders often target major sports events with millions tuning in from around the world.

Kinsey Wolanski became famous overnight after she streaked during the 2019 Champions League final between Tottenham and Liverpool.
