Las Vegas will once again take center stage in the NFL calendar after being selected to host Super Bowl LXIII in 2029. The decision was confirmed following a vote by team owners during the league’s annual meeting in Phoenix, with Allegiant Stadium set to stage the championship game for the second time.

The announcement follows a review by the NFL’s Fan Engagement & Major Events Committee, which evaluated the city’s previous performance as a host. Allegiant Stadium, home of the Las Vegas Raiders, first hosted the Super Bowl in February 2024, when Kansas City defeated San Francisco in overtime. That event marked the league’s first championship game in the city and drew more than 330,000 visitors, generating over $1 billion in economic impact.

Return to a Proven Host City

League officials pointed to the success of the 2024 event as a key factor in awarding the game back to Las Vegas. Commissioner Roger Goodell said, “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.”

He added, “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.”

The 2029 edition will mark the second time the city hosts the NFL’s flagship event. The league had previously avoided Las Vegas due to concerns surrounding legalized sports betting, but its stance shifted in recent years as the city established itself as a central location for major sporting events.

NFL executive vice president Peter O’Reilly highlighted the impact of the previous event, stating, “Clearly, Super Bowl 58 in Las Vegas was a tremendous success.” He continued, “Every element of that, everything that Las Vegas brought to bear, the energy, the size, the scale, the hospitality. That’s why Las Vegas is the host of so many premier sports and entertainment events. Clearly, NFL ownership supported that in its unanimous decision. We’re thrilled to be back there.”

Allegiant Stadium Anchors Major Events Calendar

Since opening in 2020, Allegiant Stadium has become a key venue for large-scale events. In addition to serving as the home of the Raiders and hosting UNLV football, the stadium has staged high-profile concerts, international soccer matches, and major wrestling events. It is also scheduled to host WrestleMania again in 2026.

The venue’s role extends beyond football, positioning Las Vegas as a destination capable of handling large, multi-day events. In the coming years, the city will also host the College Football Playoff National Championship in 2027 and the NCAA Final Four in 2028. Plans for a new Major League Baseball stadium and potential NBA expansion further reinforce the city’s growing sports portfolio.

The NFL confirmed that the Super Bowl will continue rotating across major markets before returning to Las Vegas. The next editions include games in California, followed by Atlanta in 2028.

Local leaders and stakeholders emphasized the collaborative effort behind the successful bid. Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority President and CEO Steve Hill stated, “We’re proud the NFL has selected Las Vegas to host Super Bowl LXIII.”

He continued, “Our first Super Bowl showcased the unique energy and scale only this destination can offer, bringing together world-class sports, entertainment, and hospitality in one place. Las Vegas was built for moments like this, and we look forward to delivering another exceptional experience for fans in 2029.”

Raiders owner Mark Davis also pointed to the partnership between the team, the league, and local authorities. “It’s a testament to the Raiders, the LVCVA, civic leaders, the community, and the NFL working together as one,” as Raiders.com reports. “Super Bowl LVIII set a high bar, and for Super Bowl LXIII we are committed to raising it even further.”

Leading up to the game, the NFL plans to organize a series of events across the Las Vegas metropolitan area. These will include fan-focused attractions, community initiatives, and entertainment programming designed to extend the experience beyond the game itself.

Hospitality offerings are already being prepared, with the league’s official partner launching a priority access program that allows fans to secure early reservations for premium ticket packages and related experiences.
