Las Vegas selected to host Super Bowl 63

PHOENIX – The Super Bowl is headed back to Las Vegas.

The NFL voted Las Vegas and Allegiant Stadium as the host city for Super Bowl 63 at the league’s owners meeting, it was announced March 30.

“We’re excited to bring the Super Bowl back to Las Vegas and provide our fans another incredible experience in one of America’s greatest sport and entertainment destinations,” NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. “Super Bowl LVIII demonstrated the scale, energy and hospitality the city brings to global events, and we look forward to working alongside the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, the Raiders and the community to deliver an even greater experience this time around.”

Las Vegas had been gaining momentum in recent weeks to host Super Bowl 63.

The formal announcement means Las Vegas is set to host its second Super Bowl. Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium was the venue in 2024 for Super Bowl 58 when the Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in overtime.

“We’re excited that the Super Bowl will be returning to Las Vegas and Allegiant Stadium in 2029,” Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis said in a statement. “It’s a testament to the Raiders, the LVCVA, civic leaders, the community, and the NFL working together as one. Super Bowl LVIII set a high bar, and for Super Bowl LXIII we are committed to raising it even further.”

The NFL has taken a west coast swing in recent Super Bowls.

Super Bowl 56 was hosted by Inglewood, California’s SoFi Stadium and Super Bowl 57 was at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Then Las Vegas hosted Super Bowl 58, Super Bowl 60 was held at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California and the NFL is returning to SoFi Stadium for Super Bowl 61.

Super Bowl 59 was at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. Super Bowl 62 is scheduled for Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.
