Thanks, Las Vegas. New Orleans, You’re Up Next

  • New Orleans will host Super Bowl LIX in February 2025.
  • The game will mark the city’s 11th time welcoming the Super Bowl.

With the first Las Vegas Super Bowl now behind us, the Big Easy will get the next crack at hosting the NFL’s biggest affair—for the 11th time. Super Bowl LIX will mark the first time the game is back in New Orleans since the “Blackout Bowl” in 2013, when a portion of the Superdome’s lights went out for more than half an hour. 

Here’s the current status of upcoming Super Bowl hosts:

  • 2025: Caesars Superdome, New Orleans
  • 2026: Levi’s Stadium, San Francisco (Santa Clara)
  • 2027: SoFi Stadium, Los Angeles
  • 2028 (and beyond): TBD

Bigger Than Just One Game?

Next year’s game could be a key showcase for New Orleans, which has hosted 10 previous Super Bowls and six Final Fours but is facing an uncertain future around the Sugar Bowl’s long-term place as part of the College Football Playoff. New Orleans will host CFP quarterfinal games in 2024 and ’25, but nothing is guaranteed for ’26 and beyond. 

This past fall, Sugar Bowl Committee CEO Jeff Hundley lamented about the rising costs of being part of the expanding CFP, and organizers launched a website to elicit donations. Perhaps another successful Super Bowl in New Orleans could remind college football stakeholders of the city’s ability to successfully welcome big events.
