In February 2024, Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas hosted what many consider to be the greatest Super Bowl in NFL history. The Kansas City Chiefs prevailed over the San Francisco 49ers, 25-22, in Super Bowl LVIII in what was just the second overtime game ever in The Big Game. The game is the third-most-watched American television broadcast, and with all of the superlatives that contest brought about, the NFL is running it back in Vegas come 2029.
“We’re excited to bring the Super Bowl back to Las Vegas and provide our fans another incredible experience in one of America’s greatest sport and entertainment destinations,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said at the NFL Annual Meeting in Phoenix. “Super Bowl LVIII demonstrated the scale, energy and hospitality the city brings to global events, and we look forward to working alongside the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, the Raiders and the community to deliver an even greater experience this time around.”
Per the NFL, Super Bowl 58 saw over 330,000 fans onsite attending the various events and activities the league puts on ahead of the Super Bowl. It also had a huge economic impact on the region, generating more than $1 billion.
While a date has not yet been announced, the Super Bowl has been held on the second Sunday of February every year since 2022. However, Goodell has openly discussed potentially moving it to the third Sunday of February, considering President’s Day is the third Monday of February. That would create a holiday weekend for the Super Bowl, which would possibly allow for even more festivities.
The league now has the venues for the next three Super Bowls lined up, after Levi’s Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers, hosted the most recent Super Bowl on Feb. 8, 2026. Next year’s Big Game—Super Bowl LXI—will take place at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, home of the Los Angeles Rams and Chargers. The 2028 Super Bowl will then take place at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, home of the Falcons. Then Vegas gets its second Big Game in 2029.
There has been a westward shift for the NFL in both recent and upcoming Super Bowls. By the time the 2029 Super Bowl rolls out, six of the eight most recent editions of the game will have taken place in the western United States, with Vegas hosting twice, Greater Los Angeles hosting twice, the San Francisco Bay Area hosting once, and the Phoenix Metro hosting once.
Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis would undoubtedly love to see a home game for his team come Super Bowl 2029. With the Raiders picking first in next month’s NFL Draft, courtesy of the league’s worst record last season, the Raiders’ participation in this game seems like a long shot. Nonetheless, Davis is thrilled to see the Super Bowl heading back to the stadium, which has a postal address of 3333 Al Davis Way, in memory of his late father.
Since opening in 2020, Allegiant Stadium has become one of the premier destinations for sporting and entertainment events. In addition to the Raiders and the UNLV Rebels football team being tenants, the venue also hosts the Vegas Kickoff Classic to begin the college football season and the Las Vegas Bowl at the end of the college football season.
It also hosted the 2022 Pro Bowl and the 2023 Pro Bowl Games, the Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford boxing match in September 2025, as well as WrestleMania 41 just last year. The WWE liked Allegiant Stadium so much that it is running it back this year, as WrestleMania 42 will take place at the venue in just three weeks. Other future events there include the 2027 college football National Championship Game and the 2028 NCAA basketball tournament Final Four.
