Super Bowl 2023 Location: Where Is Chiefs vs. Eagles Game Being Played?
The Super Bowl location changes every year, but the 2023 NFL championship game will be played at a neutral site for the time since 2020. Fans of the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles will have a long trip in order to watch their teams compete for the title.
Where are the Chiefs and Eagles playing? The Super Bowl 2023 location is State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona on Sunday, Feb. 12.
The home of the Arizona Cardinals will host the Chiefs and Eagles. The Super Bowl location is predetermined years in advance. The expectation is that neither team will have any home-field advantage in the big game, though that wasn't the case in either of the past two seasons.
In Super Bowl 2021, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers became the first team to ever play the Super Bowl in its home stadium. The venue wasn't even half-filled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, though the Bucs had the luxury of not having to travel for the contest. Tampa Bay routed Kansas City 31-9.
The Los Angeles Rams beat the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 at L.A.'s SoFi Stadium in Super Bowl 2022. The Rams won the championship in front of a sold-out crowd in their home stadium. Los Angeles is known for having one of the league's worst-home field advantages, and at times it felt like a Bengals' home game.
More than 2,000 miles separate Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field and State Farm Stadium. The Chiefs' trip isn't quite as long, though Kansas City's Arrowhead stadium is still well over 1,000 miles and close to a three-hour flight away from the Super Bowl 2023 location.
State Farm Stadium is hosting the Super Bowl for the third time. The previous two Super Bowls at the arena were among the most exciting in the game's history.
The New York Giants upset the undefeated New England Patriots 17-14 in Glendale in February 2008. Seven years later, the Patriots were on the winning end of a dramatic Super Bowl victory, defeating the Seattle Seahawks 28-24 on Malcolm Butler's goal-line interception in the game's final seconds.
Super Bowl 1996 was also played in Arizona. Sun Devil Stadium, home of Arizona State football, hosted the Dallas Cowboys' 27-17 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
State Farm Stadium can host more than 70,000 fans for the Super Bowl.
The Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers 31-20 at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium to win Super Bowl 2020. Two years prior, the Eagles upset the Patriots for their first-ever Super Bowl championship at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
