Atlanta to host Super Bowl LXII in 2028

Atlanta will host Super Bowl LXII in 2028, the NFL announced Tuesday.

It will be the second Super Bowl at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, following Super Bowl LIII in February 2019, and the fourth for Atlanta. Super Bowl XXVIII in January 1994 and SB XXXIV in January 2000 were played at the Georgia Dome.

The announcement came at the fall league meeting in Atlanta.

"Renowned for its hospitality and rich sports and entertainment culture, Atlanta is a world-class event destination and a natural fit for Super Bowl 62," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said. "(Falcons owner) Arthur Blank has been a transformative figure in the Atlanta community, playing a crucial role in leading the bid to bring the Super Bowl back to the city. I have been fortunate to witness firsthand how Arthur continues to drive community engagement and economic development in the Atlanta community through his unwavering commitment to sports and philanthropy. We look forward to working with him, the Atlanta Falcons, Atlanta Sports Council and all of our partners on the ground to create an unforgettable experience for fans around the world in 2028."

The next big game, Super Bowl LIX, will be played at the Superdome in New Orleans on Feb. 9. Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., will host the 2026 game, with the 2027 Super Bowl set for SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif.
