The slot is league policy, not law: since 2022 the Super Bowl is the second Sunday of February, and the table computes that rule forward. It was not always so - the game wandered from mid-January (1967-2001) to late January and early February as the regular season grew, settling only when the league fixed the window. The Roman numerals run straight from the count: Super Bowl LX is number 60, in 2026, one per year without interruption since the tradition began. Game operations and the official schedule live at NFL Football Operations.
Food is the real event: the wings-per-person calculator sizes the order, the squares calculator runs the pool, and the Black Friday dates table shows the other rule-driven date the winter calendar hangs on.

Since 2022 the Super Bowl owns a fixed slot: the second Sunday of February. That single piece of league policy turns the game's date into calendar arithmetic - 2026's Super Bowl LX lands February 8, and the table computes every edition through 2036 straight from the rule, Roman numerals included (the count runs one per year without interruption: LX is number 60).

Bottom line: the slot can only float across a 7-day window, February 8-14, so there is no such thing as a January Super Bowl anymore - and 2027 (LXI) hits the window's ceiling at February 14, turning the game into a Valentine's-weekend double feature. The earliest slot, February 8, repeats in 2032.

The honest part: the date is league policy, not statute, so it could change - but it has held since 2022 and the NFL publishes its schedule at Football Operations, the source this table follows. The table dates the game; it does not predict the teams.

How to use

  1. Read your year's row: the Roman numeral (the count since 1967), and the Sunday it lands on.
  2. Type any year 2026-2036 into the box for a live countdown to kickoff day - it counts to the date, not the broadcast time.
  3. Note the window: February 8-14, nothing earlier, nothing later - useful years out for planning parties that compete with Valentine's Day.
Good to know โ€” The second-Sunday rule produces a 7-day window, February 8-14: a February opening on a Sunday drops the game on the 8th (2026, 2032), one opening on a Monday pushes it to the 14th (2027). The Roman count runs one per year from 1967's I to 2036's LXX - 70 editions in as many years - making the Super Bowl the only American sporting event with an unbroken annual count and a numeral system older than the league.
Quick reference โ€” Plan the party around the table's window, not the matchup: the second-Sunday rule means invites can go out in December with the date already certain - February 8 in 2026 - no matter who plays. The food order is the only variable the date can't settle, and that math is a calculator's job, not a guess.

Frequently asked questions

When is the Super Bowl in 2026?

Sunday, February 8, 2026 - Super Bowl LX, the 60th championship game. The second-Sunday rule has held since 2022, and a February 8 landing means the earliest slot the rule allows; the ceiling is February 14, which 2027 reaches.

Why is the Super Bowl always in February now?

The game drifted as the season grew: the first Super Bowl played in mid-January 1967, and by the 1990s a longer regular season and playoff ladder pushed it later each year. The league settled the current slot - second Sunday of February - in 2022, which is why every date in this table follows from one rule instead of a schedule release.

Why are Super Bowls numbered in Roman numerals?

Style, mostly: owner Lamar Hunt's team popularized the Roman numerals in the early 1970s because they made each game feel like an event rather than a season stat. The count runs unbroken from V in 1971 (the first four games used numbers 1-4) - so Super Bowl LX in 2026 is literally the 60th, and 2036's LXX the 70th. The one hiccup: numerals stopped matching the calendar year because the game is played the year after most of the season.

Does the Super Bowl ever fall on Valentine's Day?

Yes - 2027's game lands on Sunday, February 14, the latest the slot allows. The two events share the weekend about once a decade, and the calendar collision is real money: restaurants, flowers and watch parties all compete for the same evening. Years like 2026 (February 8) keep a clear week between the two.

What should I plan first for a Super Bowl party?

The wings - they are the load-bearing dish of the day, and the math is unforgiving at scale. The site's wings-per-person calculator sizes the order for your guest count, and the squares calculator runs the classic 100-box pool. Date first (this table), food second (the calculators), teams last (the table has opinions on none of it).
