The NFL has officially announced the officiating crew for Super Bowl LIX, which is scheduled to take place at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on February 9. Ron Torbert, who served as the referee in Super Bowl LVI, will be leading the crew. Notably, side judge Boris Cheek is the only other member of this officiating team with prior Super Bowl experience.

Umpire Mike Morton, who previously won Super Bowl XXXIV as a linebacker with the St. Louis Rams, will also be working his first Super Bowl as an official. Ben Austro from Football Zebras highlighted that Morton is making history as the first individual to both win a Super Bowl and subsequently officiate one. Additionally, it is noteworthy that both Morton and down judge Max Causey are in only their third season, while Super Bowl referees typically possess a minimum of five years of officiating experience.

According to Football Zebras, Cheek is recognized as the most tenured referee in the league's history, having officiated his 461st game during the Jacksonville Jaguars' 20-13 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 17. Torbert has been an NFL referee since 2010, progressing from back judge to referee in 2014. While there lacks a discernible trend in his officiating style over past games, statistics from Pro Football Reference indicate that this season, he has averaged 1.03 more penalties for 11.40 additional yards per game.
