How many times has Atlanta hosted the Super Bowl?
The Mercedes-Benz Stadium has been selected as the host venue for Super Bowl LXII, the second time in a decade for Atlanta.
Atlanta will be the host city for Super Bowl LXII in 2028, the fourth time that the Georgia capital has been awarded hosting duties for the most high-profile event in American sport.
The decision was announced on Tuesday amid a series of meetings between NFL team owners in Georgia. Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur M. Blank bought the team in 2002, moving them to the state-of-the-art Mercedes-Benz Stadium in 2017.
“This is a tremendous honor for the city of Atlanta and the state of Georgia to be selected as host for Super Bowl LXII,” Blank said in a statement on Tuesday. “Thank you to my fellow owners for their trust in awarding Atlanta this opportunity, and thank you to Commissioner Goodell, Peter O’Reilly and the entire league for their continued leadership in making the NFL the greatest sports league in the world.”

Super Bowl LXII will be the fourth hosted in Atlanta, putting it level with Phoenix as the city to have hosted the fifth-most Super Bowls. Way out at the top of the list is Miami, which has had the big game on a staggering 11 occasions in NFL history.

The 2024 NFL season will conclude with Super Bowl LIX at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. Atlanta will follow New Orleans, Santa Clara and Los Angeles in the list of Super Bowl host cities.
The Atlanta Falcons will be hoping that the home advantage could help them make history and clinch their first Super Bowl victory. The Falcons joined the NFL in 1966 but are one of few teams to have never been crowned champions. In fact, they are the oldest major professional sports team in the United States still waiting for their first championship.
