Super Bowl LVIII is the upcoming American football championship game of the National Football League (NFL) for the 2023 season and is scheduled to be played on February 11, 2024, at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada.

This is the first Super Bowl that will be held in Nevada.[1][2] It will mark the third straight year that the Super Bowl has been played in the Western United States, following host cities Los Angeles, California, in 2022 and Glendale, Arizona, in 2023. The game will be televised nationally by CBS, streamed on Paramount+, alternatively broadcast on youth-oriented sister network Nickelodeon, and, for the first time, televised on the Spanish-language network Univision.[3] It will also be the second simulcast in Super Bowl history, the first being Super Bowl I.[4]

Background

Host selection

Allegiant Stadium, 2021

On May 23, 2018, the league initially selected New Orleans as the site for Super Bowl LVIII. The game, along with Super Bowl LVII, was part of a new awarding process implemented by the league that was introduced in Super Bowl LVI. In the past process, cities that wished to host a Super Bowl submitted bids, which were deliberated and voted upon at the league owners' meetings. The new process no longer allows cities to bid for the game; the league now chooses the potential candidates.[2]

In March 2020, the league and the NFLPA agreed to expand the regular season from 16 to 17 games beginning in 2021, pushing Super Bowl LVIII to February 11, 2024, and causing a conflict with New Orleans' Mardi Gras celebrations.[5] The league formally announced on October 14, 2020, that New Orleans would host Super Bowl LIX instead of Super Bowl LVIII,[6] and then announced on December 15, 2021, that Las Vegas was chosen as the new site.[7]

Official Logo for Super Bowl LVI in 2022, the first with the new design format.

The official logo was unveiled on February 13, 2023; it follows the updated logo template introduced by Super Bowl LVI, with the traditional Roman numerals featuring imagery reflecting the host city/region (in this case, the skyline of the Las Vegas Strip and the Las Vegas sign). The numerals are also slanted inward to evoke the architecture of resorts such as the Bellagio and Wynn Las Vegas.[8][9]

The new logo designs have been the source of much conspiracy of NFL scripting, albeit all unconfirmed. Each logo since the reformatting has displayed the colors of the two teams that would eventually meet in the Bowl, with the winning team’s primary color being displayed on the bottom of the rightmost roman numeral. Of course, the logos are released months in advance of the game, but these coincidences have been used as evidence supporting supposed scripting in the NFL.

Broadcasting

United States

Television

English

Super Bowl LVIII will be televised by CBS and streamed on Paramount+. It will be the first Super Bowl to be broadcast under the new 11–year NFL television contract, which begins a new four-year rotation between CBS, Fox, NBC, and ABC/ESPN.[4][10]

On August 1, 2023, CBS Sports announced that it will carry a youth-oriented alternate broadcast of the game on Paramount's sister network Nickelodeon. The network has aired alternate broadcasts of select NFL games (both regular season and playoffs) since 2020, but this will mark the first time that the Super Bowl will have an alternate broadcast.[11]

CBS is tentatively scheduled to air the series premiere of Tracker following the game.[12] Nickelodeon will air the series premiere of its newest "Nicktoon", Rock, Paper, Scissors after their simulcast of the game.

Spanish

After CBS sub-licensed the Spanish-language rights to its last three Super Bowl games to ESPN Deportes,[13][14] TelevisaUnivision announced during its upfronts in May 2023 that it had reached an agreement with CBS to carry Super Bowl LVIII on Univision.[15][16][17]

Streaming

The game will be available to stream on Paramount+ in English, on TelevisaUnivision's Vix in Spanish,[18] and similar to the prior year for free on mobile devices and the web on the NFL app and NFL.com, in addition to the paid NFL+ app.[19]

Radio

Westwood One holds the national radio rights to the game.[20]

Pregame

On September 24, 2023, it was announced that American R&B singer Usher will headline the Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show.[29]
