Date set for Super Bowl LXII in Atlanta

Summary by The Atlanta Editorial Desk · Based on reporting by WAGA, FOX 5 Atlanta (WAGA) - News · July 24, 2026 · 1 min read

Super Bowl LXII is officially scheduled for Feb. 13, 2028. The championship game will be held at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in downtown Atlanta.

Why this matters in The Atlanta

The announcement of Super Bowl LXII's date and location brings a significant economic boost to the city of Atlanta, with Mercedes-Benz Stadium set to host the championship game. As the stadium is located in downtown Atlanta, local businesses can expect an influx of visitors, creating opportunities for increased revenue. The city's transportation infrastructure will also be put to the test, as thousands of fans make their way to the stadium. With nearly five years to prepare, Atlanta's city government and event organizers have ample time to plan and ensure a smooth execution of the event. The success of previous large-scale events held in the city will likely serve as a guide for planning and preparation. As the event approaches, residents can expect to see increased activity and development in the downtown area, with a focus on accommodating the large crowd and providing a positive experience for visitors.
