The Super Bowl returns to Atlanta in 2028, for the second time at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, in what is considered a huge success for the city and the Falcons.
The NFL has decided: The Super Bowl will take place again in Atlanta in 2028. That decision came Tuesday at the league’s annual fall meeting, when NFL team owners gave their approval. This will be the fourth time that the NFL championship final will be played in Atlanta and the second time in Mercedes-Benz Stadium, where the New England Patriots defeated the Los Angeles Rams in 2019.
A huge success for Atlanta
“This is a tremendous honor for the city of Atlanta and the state of Georgia to be selected to host Super Bowl LXII,” said Falcons owner Arthur M. Blank. “I thank my colleagues for their trust in giving Atlanta this opportunity, and I also thank Commissioner Goodell, Peter O’Reilly and the entire league for their continued leadership in making the NFL the greatest sports league in the world. Mercedes-Benz Stadium was built to host the largest sporting events in the world, and I speak for many when I say we are honored to bring Super Bowl 2028 back to Atlanta and emulate the success of Super Bowl 53 in to build on 2019. I look forward to working with our city and state officials to continue to establish Georgia as a premier global sports destination.”
History of Super Bowls in Atlanta
The first two Super Bowls in Atlanta were held in the now-demolished Georgia Dome in 1994 and 2000. New Orleans will host the game after the current season. It will then head to California for two years, with the San Francisco Bay Area hosting in 2026 and Los Angeles in 2027.
A worldwide event
“Known for its hospitality and rich sports and entertainment culture, Atlanta is a premier events destination perfect for Super Bowl 62,” said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. “Arthur Blank was a transformative figure in the Atlanta community and played a critical role in the bid to bring the Super Bowl back to the city. I have been fortunate to witness firsthand how Arthur continues to advance community engagement and economic development in Atlanta through his tireless commitment to sports and philanthropy. We look forward to working with him, the Atlanta Falcons, the Atlanta Sports Council and all of our local partners to create an unforgettable experience for fans around the world in 2028.”
