The competitors will take part in four different challenges, such as their touchdown celebration dance and Verizon's obstacle race.
The first Hispanic NFL coach, Alberto Riveron, will be overseeing the event.
Fernando Fiore and Lindsay Casinelli will be commentating on the game, and former NFL player Rolando Cantu will be the announcer.
The day after the Super Bowl, those who want more information or missed the event, can visit NFL.com/espanol. There will also be more information about the Super Bowl at that site.
One video from the 2014 event shows Latino celebrities and the former NFL players working together as a team.
It starts off with Davis running through tires and crawling under a net. His fast speed impresses the commentators.
"Terrell Davis looks as though he could still play," the commentator said. "And his pants almost fell off."
The rest of Davis's team also gives it their best, and ends up having a good run.
What celebrity are you most looking forward to seeing?
