The NFL has pushed its regular season to 17 games. That means a lot of schedule shuffling … including the Super Bowl.
With the added game to the regular season, Super Bowl LVI will no longer be on the first Sunday in February.
The game, which will take place at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium, is set for Feb. 13, 2022.
The regular season will begin on Thursday night, Sept. 9, and will end on Sunday, Jan. 9, 2022. The Pro Bowl will be played on Sunday, Feb. 6, 2022, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
“This is a monumental moment in NFL history,” NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. “The CBA with the players and the recently completed media agreements provide the foundation for us to enhance the quality of the NFL experience for our fans. And one of the benefits of each team playing 17 regular-season games is the ability for us to continue to grow our game around the world.”
