This City Has Hosted the Most Super Bowls Ever

Featured

Written by:

In February 2024, Las Vegas is set to make its debut as a Super Bowl host, which is a big deal because, since the Super Bowl kicked off in 1967, only 18 cities have had the chance to host this mega event. 

While it’s usually the warm, sunny spots in the South that get the nod, every now and then, a city up North gets to join the party. When it comes to picking a Super Bowl city, NFL’s checklist isn’t short either: they want a stadium that’s either shiny and new or recently given a facelift, enough hotels to fit the huge crowd of fans coming in, and of course, they’re keeping an eye on the weather too.

Here are the 11 cities that have successfully won the bid to host the Super Bowl at least twice. Can you guess which city has hosted it the most? Keep reading to find out.
