New Orleans changes date of Super Bowl game from 2024 to 2025 - Transic_nyc - 10-15-2020 05:25 AM

Quote:The Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation and New Orleans Saints announced Wednesday that the Super Bowl Host Committee's revised plan to host the city's 11th Super Bowl was unanimously approved by NFL owners.

New Orleans will now host Super Bowl LIX on Feb. 9, 2025. The city was originally scheduled to host Super Bowl LVIII in 2024, but a scheduling conflict with Mardi Gras forced New Orleans and the NFL to move their hosting back one year.

A new collective bargaining agreement signed in March by the NFL and National Football League Players Association extends the regular NFL season by one week to 17 games beginning in 2021, resulting in a Super Bowl LVIII date that conflicts with the second weekend of Mardi Gras in 2024.
