The NFL has designated Las Vegas as the host for Super Bowl LXIII in 2029, confirming Allegiant Stadium as the venue following a decisive vote by league team owners during the Annual Meeting in Phoenix.
This announcement follows a thorough review by the NFL’s Fan Engagement & Major Events Committee. The 2029 Super Bowl will mark the second occasion that Las Vegas has hosted this event, with the first taking place in 2024.
The inaugural Super Bowl in Las Vegas attracted over 330,000 attendees and generated more than $1 billion in economic benefits, as reported by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. The thrilling game concluded with Kansas City defeating San Francisco 25-22 in overtime.
Leading up to 2029, Las Vegas is set to play a significant role in the U.S. sports calendar. Allegiant Stadium is slotted to host the College Football Playoff national championship in 2027 and the Final Four in 2028. Additionally, the Oakland Athletics are expected to begin their play in a new stadium in Las Vegas in 2028, and there are talks of a potential NBA expansion team launching in the city that year.
“We are thrilled to bring the Super Bowl back to Las Vegas, offering our fans an unforgettable experience in one of the top sports and entertainment destinations in America,” stated NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
Las Vegas has significantly grown its presence in major league sports in recent years, becoming home to the Raiders in 2020 and hosting the NFL Draft in 2022. The previous Super Bowl in the city was celebrated as a logistical and commercial triumph, with activities centered around the Strip and the stadium conveniently located nearby.
NFL executive vice president Peter O’Reilly remarked that the NFL viewed the 2024 event as a resounding success, highlighting the city’s vibrant atmosphere, scale, and hospitality which contributed to the unanimous decision among team owners to bring the Super Bowl back.
Steve Hill, President and CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority
“We are proud to have the NFL choose Las Vegas to host Super Bowl LXIII,” remarked Steve Hill, President and CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
Hill emphasized that the city’s first Super Bowl showcased its capability to merge sports, entertainment, and hospitality within a singular destination, and hinted that preparations for 2029 will build on this positive experience.
This decision comes in light of a shift in the NFL’s traditional approach towards hosting games in cities with legalized sports betting, which had earlier restricted Las Vegas from being a host city.
“We are excited about the return of the Super Bowl to Las Vegas and Allegiant Stadium in 2029,” stated Mark Davis, owner of the Las Vegas Raiders.
In anticipation of the Super Bowl, Las Vegas is poised to host a variety of associated events across the metropolitan region, including NFL Honors, the Super Bowl Experience presented by Jersey Mike’s, and Super Bowl Opening Night Fueled by Gatorade, along with several community initiatives such as NFL Source.
Additionally, On Location, the NFL’s official hospitality partner, has inaugurated a Priority Access deposit program for Super Bowl LXIII. This program enables fans to secure early access to tickets and hospitality packages, with refundable deposits determining priority access.
“The commitment made by Mark Davis to relocate the Raiders to Las Vegas, build Allegiant Stadium, and bring the NFL to our city has profoundly transformed Las Vegas,” Hill remarked. He further added that these developments have elevated the city’s global stature and positioned it to host major international sports events.
The 2029 Super Bowl will follow a series of upcoming Super Bowls scheduled across other U.S. cities, including California next year and Atlanta in 2028.
