History of the Super Bowl

The Super Bowl has been the NFL’s annual championship since 1967, following the merger between the NFL and the American Football League (AFL). The game is one of the most-watched television events in the U.S. every year, combining elite sports competition with high-profile entertainment and advertising.

Why Roman Numerals?

The NFL uses Roman numerals to designate each Super Bowl, starting with Super Bowl V in 1971. This tradition was introduced by then-Commissioner Pete Rozelle to avoid confusion, as the game takes place in a different calendar year than the season it concludes. For example, Super Bowl LIX concludes the 2024 season but occurs in 2025.

This game is a rematch of Super Bowl LVII, where the Kansas City Chiefs narrowly defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 38–35. Both teams have remained strong contenders throughout the 2024 season, culminating in their return to the league’s biggest stage.
