METAIRIE, La. -- New Orleans will now host the Super Bowl in 2025 instead of 2024 because of a scheduling conflict that was created by the NFL's upcoming switch to a 17-game schedule, the league announced Wednesday.
Since the date of the Super Bowl will be pushed back a week, it will now conflict with New Orleans' Mardi Gras schedule. That possibility was discussed by NFL, Saints and city officials during the bidding process in 2018 when New Orleans was awarded the Super Bowl for the 11th time.
No site has been selected for the 2024 Super Bowl yet.
