According to reports, NFL owners are set to award the 2029 Super Bowl to Las Vegas during their annual meeting on Monday. This will mark the second time the big game is hosted in Las Vegas, following Super Bowl 58 in 2024. The vote is considered a formality and is expected to face little resistance, requiring at least 24 of the 32 owners to approve it.

Why it matters

Las Vegas has emerged as a premier destination for major sporting events in recent years, with the city set to host the Final Four in 2028 and the potential for an NBA expansion team on the horizon. Securing the 2029 Super Bowl would continue to cement Las Vegas' status as a top-tier sports hub.

The details

The 2029 Super Bowl is scheduled to air on FOX. NFL owners are also expected to vote on a succession plan for the ownership of the Raiders, allowing Egon Durbin to become the majority owner should Mark Davis decide to sell his shares.

What they’re saying

“'Tom is a partner that is football-oriented and knows football better than probably anybody right now. Mike, in business and hospitality and everything, knows more about it than I think anybody I know. Egon is a very accomplished businessman in his game, right? And they bring a different structure to the organization and different tools to the organization that gives us the ability to go on the field and off.'”
