Which city has hosted the most Super Bowls in history? Complete list of NFL stadiums
With the 59th edition of the Super Bowl drawing closer, we take a look at the host cities throughout history.
The Kansas City Chiefs are still polishing their trophy after winning Super Bowl LVIII last year. Mahomes’ side are, according to the quarterback, only beginning a dynasty and will look to complete the ‘three-peat’, a hat-trick of Super Bowls when the tournament comes around again in the new year for LIX.
Across the history of the NFL, the most successful sides have been the Patriots and the Steelers, who have won the showpiece event 6 times each. After that it is 49ers and the Cowboys, who are just 1 behind.
Allegiant Stadium was the host venue for last season’s event, and the 65,000 capacity crowd had to wait for overtime to decide a winner. Usher got everyone on their feet for the sensational Halftime Show, confirming Las Vegas, who hosted its first ever Super Bowl, as an ideal place to celebrate such a significant date in the American calendar.
Now, the announcement for Super Bowl LXII, to be held in 2027, has been announced. It will be held in Atlanta, but we’re not adding it onto the list just yet.
Which city has hosted the most Super Bowls in history?
Right now, Miami hold the crown for the highest number of Super Bowls to take place in their city, with 11.
What we all know as Hard Rock Stadium has had the honour of hosting six, with the now-gone Orange Bowl was the venue for the other five. The 31-20 win for the Kansas City Chiefs over the San Francisco 49ers in 2020 was the last time that the coastal metropolis was the location for the final.
But it seems that Miami natives will not be able to call themselves Super Bowl record holders for long. New Orleans will soon join Miami on 11 Super Bowls and they are already readying their Superdome in preparation for the 2025 edition, with the venue set to increase its lead on Hard Rock Stadium and move up to 8 Super Bowls.
