The current home of the Cardinals, State Farm Stadium, was already scheduled to host its third Super Bowl. Now it can be marked on the 2023 calendar.
Super Bowl LVII will take place at the Glendale, Arizona, stadium on Sunday, Feb. 12, 2023, the NFL announced on Wednesday.
The league had announced in 2018 that Arizona would host the Super Bowl in 2023.
“The selection of the date for Super Bowl LVII means we are getting closer to the event all of Arizona is anticipating,” said David Rousseau, chairman of the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee. “The exposure and economic impact it brings to our region is unmatched and so is the level of community support required to execute such a massive undertaking.”
