Get ready, Atlanta! The National Football League has officially announced that Super Bowl LXII will take place in the heart of Georgia in 2028. The news came during the NFL’s Fall League meeting in Atlanta and marks yet another major milestone for the city’s growing reputation as a top-tier sports destination. This will be Atlanta’s fourth time hosting football’s biggest night, and fans can expect a week full of events, celebrations, and world-class entertainment leading up to the game.
A Championship Homecoming
Mercedes-Benz Stadium will once again shine under the global spotlight, having previously hosted Super Bowl LIII in 2019. Known for its cutting-edge design and retractable roof, the stadium opened in 2017 and has quickly become a hub for major sporting events. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell praised Atlanta’s “rich sports and entertainment culture” and called it a “natural fit” for the event.
Arthur Blank’s Vision for Atlanta
Arthur Blank, owner and chairman of the Atlanta Falcons, has played a key role in bringing the Super Bowl back to the city. His efforts in community development and sports philanthropy helped secure the bid, and he expressed gratitude for the opportunity:
“Mercedes-Benz Stadium was built to host the world’s largest sporting events,” said Blank. “We’re honored to bring it back to Atlanta in 2028 and build off the success of 2019.”
More Than Just a Game
Leading up to the big game, Atlanta will also host a variety of marquee NFL events, including:
NFL Honors – celebrating the league’s top players and coaches
Super Bowl Experience – an interactive fan festival
Super Bowl Opening Night – the official kickoff event featuring both competing teams
These experiences are set to draw fans from across the country, adding an economic and cultural boost to the city.

Super Bowl LXII will mark the fourth time Atlanta has hosted the championship:
Super Bowl XXVIII (1994)
