"It is a tremendous honor for the city of Atlanta and the state of Georgia to be selected as hosts of Super Bowl LXII," said Falcons owner Arthur M. Blank. "Thank you to my fellow owners for their trust in granting Atlanta this opportunity, and thank you to Commissioner Goodell, Peter O'Reilly, and the entire league for their continued leadership in making the NFL the best sports league in the world. Mercedes-Benz Stadium was built to host the world's biggest sporting events, and I know I speak for many when I say we are honored to bring it back to Atlanta in 2028 and build upon the success of Super Bowl 53 in 2019. I look forward to working alongside our city and state officials as we continue to elevate Georgia as a world-class sports destination."
The first two Super Bowls held in Atlanta were at the now demolished Georgia Dome in 1994 and 2000.
New Orleans will host the game after this season followed by California for two years, with the San Francisco Bay Area as the host in 2026 and Los Angeles in 2027.
"Recognized for its hospitality and rich sports and entertainment culture, Atlanta is a world-class event destination for Super Bowl 62," said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. "Arthur Blank has been a transformative figure in the Atlanta community, playing a crucial role in leading the bid to bring the Super Bowl back to the city. I have been fortunate to witness firsthand how Arthur continues to drive community engagement and economic development in the Atlanta community through his unwavering commitment to sports and philanthropy. We look forward to working with him, the Atlanta Falcons, the Atlanta Sports Council, and all our partners to create an unforgettable experience for fans around the world in 2028."
