This will be the second time the Super Bowl is played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, home of the Atlanta Falcons. The stadium previously hosted Super Bowl LIII in 2019, when the New England Patriots defeated the Los Angeles Rams.
“This is a tremendous honor for the city of Atlanta and the state of Georgia to be selected as host for Super Bowl LXII,” Falcons owner Arthur M. Blank said in a statement. “Thank you to my fellow owners for their trust in awarding Atlanta this opportunity, and thank you to Commissioner Goodell, Peter O’Reilly, and the entire league for their continued leadership in making the NFL the greatest sports league in the world.”
Blank continued, “Mercedes-Benz Stadium was built to host the world’s largest sporting events, and I know I speak for many when I say we are honored to bring it back to Atlanta in 2028 and build off the success of Super Bowl 53 in 2019. I look forward to working alongside our city and state officials as we continue to elevate Georgia as a premier, global sports destination.”
The first two Super Bowls hosted in Atlanta were played at the now-demolished Georgia Dome in 1994 and 2000.
Following this season, New Orleans will host the Super Bowl in 2025. The game will then head to California for two consecutive years, with the San Francisco Bay Area hosting in 2026 and Los Angeles in 2027.
“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,” said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. “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.”
Goodell added, “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.”
