The Super Bowl is an annual league championship game of the NFL in the United States, which was originally known as the "bowl game". The first game was played as part of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses in 1902 as the "Tournament East-West football game". The owner of the AFL's Kansas City Chiefs, Lamar Hunt, used the term "Super Bowl" for the first time in the mid-60s. Since January 1971, the Super Bowl has been identified using Roman numerals instead of the corresponding year, starting with the fifth edition.
The Green Bay Packers were the first champions of the first two AFL–NFL World Championship Games, later known as the Super Bowls, and the first two MVPs were Bryan Bartlett Starr of the Packers. Later, three franchises merged: the Dallas Cowboys, Miami Dolphins, and Pittsburgh Steelers, to win eight Super Bowl championships. As of February 7, 2025, Super Bowl LIX will be held in Caesars Superdome, New Orleans, Louisiana, on February 9, 2025, and the official logo was revealed on February 12, 2024.
