Hosting a Super Bowl means a boost for the local economy and an influx of thousands of football fans.
NFL has been very selective when it comes to Super Bowl locations and venues. That mostly stems from the 1967 NFL Championship Game, between the Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys at Lambeau Field, also known as “Ice Bowl”, or simply the coldest game in NFL history.
No rules are officially in place but, since the Super Bowl is contested at the beginning of February, outdoor stadiums in cold cities are out of the equation. The notable exception came in Super Bowl XLVIII, which has held at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
So, without further ado, these are the five cities which have been a Super Bowl host the most times:
Miami, Florida
Hosted 11 Super Bowls: 1968, 1969, 1971, 1976, 1979, 1989, 1995, 1999, 2007, 2010, 2020
The lights of Florida have always been too bright for one of the biggest sporting events to not make a breakthrough. Miami first hosted the second edition of the NFL-AFL World Championship Game in 1968, a Green Bay 33-14 victory over the Oakland Raiders.
A total of 11 Super Bowl clashes have been held in the market, including five at the Orange Bowl and six more at the venue now known as Hard Rock Stadium. The 2020 season ended with Miami hosting its 11th Super Bowl.
New Orleans, Louisiana
Hosted 10 Super Bowls: 1970, 1972, 1975, 1978, 1981, 1986, 1990, 1997, 2002, 2013, (2025)
Just like Miami, New Orleans has hosted 10 Super Bowls at two different stadiums and has an eleventh one scheduled for 2025.
Super Bowls in 1970, 1972 and 1975 were held at Tulane Stadium, home of the University of Tulane Green Wave. In 1975 the Louisiana Superdome, located in the Central Business District in NOLA and known as Mercedes-Benz Superdome post-2011, became the new home of the Saints. That was followed by the first Super Bowl at the dome between the Cowboys and the Broncos in 1978.
The last Big Game held in New Orleans was the 2013 Baltimore Ravens victory over the San Francisco 49ers. One of the notable things from the 34-31 Ravens win was a blackout that delayed the game – so much for a good impression.
Los Angeles, California
Hosted 8 Super Bowls: 1967, 1973, 1977, 1980, 1983, 1987, 1993, 2022, (2027)
The monumental LA Memorial Coliseum was where it all began. Los Angeles was the site for Green Bay’s 35-10 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in what was then known as the first World Championship game, or simply Super Bowl I.
However, the Coliseum didn’t last long as a Super Bowl venue. Miami Dolphins defeated the Washington Redskins, 14-7, to complete the league’s only undefeated season in 1973 in Super Bowl VII.
The Los Angeles area would have to wait only another four years to host another edition of the Big Game. The next five times Southern California saw a Super Bowl clash it was at the Rose Bowl, located in Pasadena, 17 miles northeast of Downtown LA. That was despite the fact that no NFL team ever called it its home.
Super Bowl XXVII, marked by the Bills’ third of four consecutive championship losses and Michael Jackson‘s halftime performance, called by some the best in Super Bowl history, was the last time the Big Game was held in the Greater Los Angeles Area. It saw an attendance of 98,374 – a record that is still holding strong to this day.
The 55th edition of the Super Bowl was held at SoFi Stadium, which opened as a home venue for the Rams and the Chargers at the start of the 2020 season.
Tampa, Florida
Hosted 5 Super Bowls: 1984, 1991, 2001, 2009, 2021
Tampa Stadium became the second venue in the state of Florida to host a Super Bowl in 1984, a 38-9 Raiders win over the favoured Redskins.
In 1999, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would start playing at their current home at Raymond James Stadium, which has hosted the Big Game in 2001, 2009, and 2021. Tampa Bay defeated the Chiefs in their home stadium.
Phoenix, Arizona
Hosted 4 Super Bowls: 1996, 2008, 2015, 2023
A Super Bowl was held in Arizona for the first time in 1996 when the Cowboys won their fifth Super Bowl title, defeating the Steelers 27-17 in Pittsburgh’s first loss on that stage. The arena was Sun Devil Stadium, home of Arizona State in Tempe, Arizona. From 1988 to 2005, the Phoenix/Arizona Cardinals also played home games there, with the organisation’s headquarters still in Tempe.
In 2006, the Cardinals opened a modern facility in Glendale called the University of Phoenix Stadium, State Farm Stadium after the 2018 season. No other venue has been as consistent in getting historically great Super Bowls – one of those was the Giants’ 17-14 upset over the Patriot and the famous “Helmet Catch” by David Tyree. The other – a Patriots win over the Seahawks, sealed by the Seattle’s decision to throw on the one-yard line and Malcolm Butler‘s interception.

Martin O'Neill insists he would "have happily stayed on" as Celtic's interim manager for their League Cup final, which ended in defeat under new boss Wilfried Nancy.The 73-year-old returned to Celtic Park following Brendan Rodgers' resignation and won seven of his eight matches in charge.

Menzies apologises for punching table after World Championship exit
Cameron Menzies was taken to hospital after punching a table in frustration, which he later apologised for, following his 3-2 defeat to Charlie Manby in the first round of the World Darts Championship.Menzies led twice in the game as he took the opening set before going 2-1 up, but the 20-year-old from Huddersfield fought back to take it into a deciding set before he finally pinned double four, after both players missed several darts at double. As Manby went off to celebrate, Menzies was unable to hide his frustration and punched the underside of the water table three times, causing the water bottles to fall off. Referee Kirk Bevins went over to Menzies asking him to stop, but the 26th seed was visibly upset while congratulating his opponent and went on to hold his hands up and apologise to the […]
