In 2018, the New Orleans Saints and The Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation led the bid for one of the nation’s largest sporting events, and the City of New Orleans was awarded Super Bowl LIX, to be held on February 9, 2025. To host a major sporting event like the Super Bowl, a host committee is formed to plan, manage, and execute the event to completion and fulfill the obligations of the bid response to the NFL. The host committee comprises the New Orleans Saints, The Sports Foundation, and other business leaders within the Greater New Orleans area who are enthusiastic about bringing economic opportunities to the City and State.
