This season’s Super Bowl – the 59th edition – will be played in New Orleans. In 2026, Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, will host, followed by SoFi Stadium, in Inglewood, California, in 2027. Kansas City’s 25-22 overtime victory over San Francisco in the last Super Bowl was the most-watched program in US television history.
“If we do expand our season – our regular season – to an 18-and-two structure, I see us going to 16 of those games being in international markets,” Goodell said.“A lot of that depends on – can we continue to make the game safer, can we continue to modify the way we conduct the offseason as well as the training camp and as well as the season, so that these guys feel comfortable being able to play that period of time,” Goodell said.
There are five international games this season, and Goodell said the league wants to increase to eight “quickly”.“I have no doubt that we’re going to be playing in Ireland. I don’t know if it will be next year, but it’s coming soon,” Goodell said at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. “We’re looking at other markets in the other direction, toward Asia,” he said. “There’s probably more interest than we can handle.”
