ATLANTA – Super Bowl LXII will be held in Atlanta in February 2028, the National Football League announced Tuesday.

The game will take place at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which also hosted the Super Bowl in 2019.

Atlanta’s bid was led by the Atlanta Sports Council in partnership with the Atlanta Falcons, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the Georgia World Congress Center Authority, the Atlanta Convention & Visitors Bureau, the city of Atlanta, and the state of Georgia.

“This decision underscores our position as an ideal host for large-scale attractions like this,” Gov. Brian Kemp said. “Fans from across the world who attend Super Bowl LXII will experience the world-class lodging, amenities, and commitment to safety that set us apart.”

The 2028 Super Bowl will be the fourth held in Atlanta. The Georgia Dome hosted the game in 1994 and 2000. The 2019 game, which saw the New England Patriots defeat the Los Angeles Rams, took place at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Metro Atlanta has hosted many major global sporting events over the years. The list of upcoming events includes college football’s national championship game in January, Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game at Truist Park next July, soccer’s World Cup in 2026, and the NCAA Men’s Final Four basketball tournament in 2031.

“No city is better positioned than Atlanta to host events of this magnitude,” said Dan Corso, president of the Atlanta Sports Council. “Super Bowl LXII would not be possible without the incredible cooperation of leaders in the civic and business community who continue to come together to deliver for our city and state.”
