Talks Begin For Las Vegas To Host Super Bowl LXIII In 2029
Las Vegas could again be the center of the football world, as the NFL considers a potential return to Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LXIII.
Sources say NFL executives have opened discussions with Las Vegas officials about the city hosting the event in 2029.
Although nothing is final, discussions are reportedly advancing, following the NFL’s usual practice of awarding Super Bowl host sites about four years in advance.
An announcement could come in October at the NFL fall owners meetings in New York.
If more time is required, a decision is likely by December at the winter meetings.
Return To A Proven Host
The prospect of another Super Bowl in Las Vegas follows the huge success of Super Bowl LVIII in February 2024.
That thriller saw the Kansas City Chiefs edge the San Francisco 49ers in overtime, drawing 330,000 people to the city, including 104,000 arriving at the airport in a single day, with 123.4million watching on TV.
"If they wanted the Super Bowl here every year, we’d gladly host it." - Steve Hill, CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority
City leaders and the NFL alike praised the event as one of the best-run in recent memory.
Steve Hill, CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, underlined the appetite: "If they wanted the Super Bowl here every year, we’d gladly host it."
Behind The Scenes Of Selection
Since 2018, the NFL has moved away from its open-bid model for awarding Super Bowl sites. Instead, the league now works directly with individual cities to negotiate hosting rights.
In the last year, the Raiders and Las Vegas officials submitted a letter of intent to hold a game in 2029, 2030 or 2031.
This action made the city a leading candidate - especially after it met the NFL deadlines and criteria for 2029.
Meanwhile, New Orleans - long a staple of Super Bowl history - has seen its candidacy for 2031 falter.
Caesars Superdome officials missed a key deadline to finalize a long-term lease, which, according to the league, is a dealbreaker.
"The NFL is not going to award a Super Bowl to a team that doesn’t have a lease for the year in which they’re requesting a Super Bowl," league spokesman Brian McCarthy told the Times-Picayune.

What’s Next?
If approved, Super Bowl LXIII will be Las Vegas’ second time hosting the NFL’s biggest game in only six years, solidifying the city as one of the league’s top destinations.
Already included in the rotation of next host cities are Santa Clara (2026), Inglewood (2027) and Atlanta (2028).
For Las Vegas, securing another Super Bowl would be more than a sporting milestone.
It would reinforce the city’s status as America’s newest sports capital, transforming from a place with no major league teams to a contender for the nation’s biggest stage.
