DALLAS — The NFL on Wednesday officially awarded Super Bowl LVIII to Las Vegas. The vote from NFL owners was unanimous. The game is scheduled for Feb. 11, 2024.
Super Bowl LVIII was originally slated to be played in New Orleans on Feb. 4, 2024. But when the NFL recently added a 17th game and pushed its season forward by one week — including its season-ending championship game — it created a conflict with Mardi Gras celebrations in New Orleans. As a result, New Orleans gave up hosting duties in 2024 and was awarded Super Bowl LIX in 2025.
That created an opportunity for Las Vegas, the NFL’s newest market and home to Allegiant Stadium. The decision was first reported Monday by the Review-Journal.
Las Vegas is quickly becoming a hotbed for big NFL events, with the Super Bowl joining the Pro Bowl in February and April’s NFL draft.
