Super Bowl history

The Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the National Football League. Since 1966, it has marked the final game of every NFL season, replacing the NFL Championship Game.

It has been played on the second Sunday of February since 2022. Before that, Super Bowls were played on Sundays in early to mid-January from 1967 to 1978, late January from 1979 to 2003, and the first Sunday of February from 2004 to 2021.

The Vince Lombardi Trophy is awarded to the winning team, a trophy named after the coach of the Green Bay Packers, who won the first two Super Bowls.

To sidestep NFL trademark restrictions, many companies that are not official sponsors refer to the Super Bowl as "the Big Game" or similar terms. The day of the game is widely recognized as "Super Bowl Sunday" or "Super Sunday."
