Super Bowl 2020: Where And When Will The Next NFL Championship Game Take Place?

The hot spot in the U.S. this weekend will be Atlanta, host of this year's Super Bowl. The biggest annual event in American sports always draws a sellout crowd with roughly 75,000 spectators checking off a box on their bucket list for the winter getaway.

While the weather forecast in Atlanta calls for rain Sunday, the crowd will be dry at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, a multi-purpose retractable-roof venue.

There should be sunshine next year, as the NFL championship game makes its return to South Florida. Hard Rock Stadium, home of the Miami Dolphins, will be the site for Super Bowl LIV, marking the 11th Super Bowl played in Miami, a record for any city.

The warm weather has made Miami a popular destination for the Super Bowl since before the NFL merged with the AFL in 1970. The Super Bowl was played in Miami for the first time in 1968, which was just the second Super Bowl in league history.

Three of the first five Super Bowls were played in Miami, before the NFL chose more of a rotation of cities.

The 2020 game will be the first Super Bowl in Miami in a decade, as the game was last played in Miami in 2010. The stadium, which has a capacity of about 65,000, opened in 1987 as Joe Robbie Stadium and has since had seven name changes.

Every Super Bowl through the 2023 season is scheduled to be played in either the southeastern or southwestern U.S. The 2021 game will be played in Tampa, Florida.

In 2022, the Super Bowl makes its return to Los Angeles at a new stadium that will be home to the Rams and Chargers.

It will then go to Glendale, Arizona, in 2023 followed by New Orleans in 2024.
