The NFL team owners have approved Atlanta as the host city for the Super Bowl in 2028, marking the fourth time the championship game will be played in Atlanta and the second time at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The decision was made at the league's annual fall meeting, with Falcons owner expressing gratitude for the honor.

Arthur M. Blank, the Falcons owner, expressed his appreciation for the trust placed in Atlanta to host Super Bowl LXII. He highlighted the city's readiness to host major sporting events and its commitment to becoming a premier global sports destination. Mercedes-Benz Stadium, known for its state-of-the-art facilities, is set to welcome fans from around the world in 2028.

Atlanta has previously hosted two Super Bowls at the Georgia Dome in 1994 and 2000 before the stadium was demolished. The upcoming Super Bowl in 2028 will be a significant event for the city and the state of Georgia, showcasing their hospitality and rich sports culture.

Following this season's Super Bowl in New Orleans, the game will head to California for the next two years. The San Francisco Bay Area will host in 2026, followed by Los Angeles in 2027, before returning to Atlanta in 2028.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell praised Atlanta as a world-class event destination and commended Arthur Blank for his role in bringing the Super Bowl back to the city. Goodell highlighted Blank's contributions to the Atlanta community through sports and philanthropy, emphasizing the positive impact of hosting such prestigious events.

The NFL looks forward to collaborating with Blank, the Atlanta Falcons, Atlanta Sports Council, and other partners to create an unforgettable experience for fans worldwide during Super Bowl 62 in 2028.
