Could another Superbowl be in Atlanta’s near future? The NFL plans to award Super Bowl LXII to Mercedes-Benz Stadium during their meeting next month in Atlanta, according to the Sports Business Journal.
The news comes as Atlanta secures a number of top events over the next five years. Here are some big events on tap in Georgia’s largest city in the next five years.
- Super Bowl LXII (2028): Atlanta will host the Super Bowl at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
- NCAA Men’s Final Four (2027): The city will welcome the championship weekend for college basketball at the same venue.
- College Football Playoff National Championship (2025): Atlanta will be a host city for this major college football event.
- Various Major Conventions and Trade Shows: Atlanta’s Georgia World Congress Center often hosts large conventions, including events like the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) Annual Meeting.
- SEC Championship Game: This annual college football championship game typically takes place in Atlanta.
The former Georgia Dome previously hosted Super Bowl XXVIII in 1994 and Super Bowl XXXIV in 2000. Nearly two decades later, after an ice storm impacted the lead-up to Super Bowl XXXIV, Mercedes-Benz Stadium welcomed Super Bowl LIII.
If Atlanta secures the game—as seems likely—we’ll know the locations for the next four title games: LXIX in New Orleans, LX in Santa Clara, and LXI in Los Angeles.
How Many Times Has Atlanta Hosted the Superbowl?
Atlanta has hosted the Super Bowl three times before: Super Bowl XXVIII in 1994, Super Bowl XXXIV in 2000, and Super Bowl LIII in 2019. With the upcoming Super Bowl LXII scheduled for 2028, it will be the city’s fourth time hosting the event.
Final Word
Will Atlanta really get the Big Game in a few years? The league plans to officially confirm this during a meeting next month. Hopefully the home team Atlanta Falcons can represent.
