New Orleans Gets Super Bowl in 2025 Instead of 2024 to Avoid Mardi Gras Conflict

Not even the NFL wants to compete with Mardi Gras when it comes to holding an event in New Orleans.

Since Mardi Gras is scheduled for Feb. 13 in 2024 and March 4 in 2025, the NFL decided to hold the Super Bowl in New Orleans during the latter year to avoid a conflict. Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk reported the news, noting the league previously gave the city Super Bowl LVIII in February of 2024 but instead will host Super Bowl LIX in February of 2025 in New Orleans.
