The National Football League (NFL/American Football) is awarding the 2028 Super Bowl to Atlanta.

Atlanta, the 1996 Olympic city, was awarded the contract for Super Bowl LXII in early February 2028. Prior to that, the NFL championship finals will be held in New Orleans (2025), San Francisco (2026) and Los Angeles (2027). Atlanta last organized the Super Bowl in 2019.

The commitment of Tom Brady (47) to the Las Vegas Raiders was more talked about at the league meeting. The most successful quarterback of all time with seven Super Bowls to his name is allowed to buy five percent of the shares in the Las Vegas Raiders and thus become team owner. Mark Davis, the owner of the Raiders, and Brady agreed on this deal months ago. However, Brady's role as a TV analyst for the "FOX" channel caused the league to have a longer period of reflection.

As a new team co-owner with FOX, Brady is not allowed to attend any production meetings. He is not allowed to enter the training grounds of other teams and must stay away from coaches and players from other teams. And above all, Brady is not allowed to criticize referees. These rules apply to all team owners in the NFL.
