Las Vegas is on the verge of locking in another Super Bowl, with NFL owners widely expected to choose the city as the host for Super Bowl LXIII, the game that caps the 2028 season and would be played in February 2029. League sources say the decision is slated to come up at next week’s annual meetings in Phoenix, and one person familiar with the talks called a Vegas return “a matter of formality.”
According to ABC7 San Francisco, which cites ESPN reporter Adam Schefter, NFL owners are expected to select Las Vegas for Super Bowl LXIII and sign off on that choice at the upcoming league meetings. The report notes that the move would bring a second Super Bowl back to the Strip in less than five years, following Super Bowl LVIII in 2024.
Vegas Out in Front Behind the Scenes
For months, outlets that follow league business have pointed to Las Vegas as the clear front-runner. As reported by Sports Business Journal, the Raiders and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority have been in exclusive negotiations with the NFL about hosting the 2029 game. At the same time, Fox Sports already lists Las Vegas as the expected site for the February 2029 Super Bowl.
Allegiant Stadium and the Vegas Formula
Allegiant Stadium, the home of the Raiders, has a regular NFL capacity of around 65,000 and was designed to expand for marquee events. The stadium’s visitor guide details its capacity and amenities, and the venue has already proven it can handle the spotlight, serving as the site of Super Bowl LVIII in February 2024.

What Owners Will Tackle in Phoenix
The NFL’s annual meetings are set for March 29 to April 1 in Phoenix, where owners typically vote on host venues along with other league business. CBS Sports notes that schedule, and league insiders say a formal vote on Super Bowl LXIII could slot in after routine agenda items if owners are aligned.
Why a Second Super Bowl Is a Big Deal
Landing a second Super Bowl so quickly would be a major economic win for Las Vegas’s hospitality and events sectors, building on the surge of attention from the 2024 game. As detailed by Travel Weekly and other industry reporting, Allegiant Stadium has helped reshape Las Vegas into a go-to destination for large-scale sports and entertainment.
If owners cast the expected vote next week, a formal NFL announcement could come quickly and Las Vegas would shift into a long stretch of planning and logistics. For now, the call rests with owners in Phoenix, while fans, local businesses and the league keep an eye out for the official word.
