PHOENIX – That didn’t take long.
Just two years after Las Vegas hosted its first-ever Super Bowl, the NFL is sending its big game back to Sin City.
The league and Las Vegas leaders have been in exclusive negotiations to bring the Super Bowl back to Southern Nevada for just under a year, with an official announcement coming on Monday at the NFL’s owners meetings in Phoenix.
Las Vegas will host Super Bowl LXIII in 2029 at Allegiant Stadium, the home of the Raiders, following Super Bowl LXI at Sofi Stadium in 2027 and Super Bowl LXII in Atlanta in 2028.
“On behalf of Mark Davis and the entire Las Vegas Raiders organization, we are so ecstatic to be able to host the Super Bowl back in Las Vegas,” said Raiders president Sandra Douglass Morgan. “To be able to have people in our home at Allegiant Stadium, is something we always love and enjoy.”
Allegiant Stadium hosted Super Bowl LVIII in 2024, with the Chiefs defeating the 49ers, and the week came off so well that the NFL made it a point to put Las Vegas back in the rotation as soon as possible.
“Las Vegas is a great sports and entertainment mecca; they know how to put on big events,” said NFL Vice President Peter O’Reilly. “We were all in learning mode the first time around. We were figuring out what it’s going to be, what the experience is going to be like. How are we going to use the venues? What are we going to be doing throughout the week? We learned a ton, and it all worked really well, so frankly, right after that game, the proces started, and the conversation started about what’s the right year, what’s the right timing. And that leads us to today. There are just so many reasons on that lift why Las Vegas makes sense.”
