How many U.S. states have hosted a Super Bowl before?

Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara, California has officially arrived – but how many states have hosted the Big Game over its six decades of history?

The biggest day on the North American sports calendar has arrived, with the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks facing off in the 60th iteration of the Super Bowl at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

The matchup features a faceoff between two quarterbacks making their Super Bowl debut – sophomore star and MVP runner-up Drake Maye and journeyman-turned-star Sam Darnold, with both teams’ elite defenses expected to play a central role in the game.

Sunday’s matchup is the second Super Bowl meeting between the Patriots and Seahawks, as well as the second Super Bowl held at Levi’s Stadium, coming 10 years after the venue hosted Super Bowl 50 between the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers following the 2015 season.

This season marks the continuation of an established trend of Super Bowls being held in warm-weather cities or locations that have a roof, providing a neutral environment meant to be free from the winter cold much of the country experiences in February.

As of this season, 11 different U.S. states have hosted at least one Super Bowl, with the majority of games occurring in one of three states: California, Florida and Louisiana.

While the Super Bowl has occasionally resided in a Midwestern city thanks to a fixed-roof stadium, the league has repeatedly demonstrated that it still prefers to hold the event and its associated festivities in a location that isn’t cold in February.

With this year’s game at Levi’s Stadium, the NFL currently has the host cities determined for the next two Super Bowls, with Super Bowl LXI slated to be held at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, while the following year’s game will take place at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The games represent the second time both stadiums will be hosting the game.

With that said, there remains a clear push to bring the Super Bowl to more locations, with the Kansas City Chiefs, Chicago Bears, Cleveland Browns, Tennessee Titans and Denver Broncos all planning stadiums that feature either a fixed or retractable roof – aiding in their chances to host the Super Bowl.

The New Orleans and Miami areas hold the lead for the most Super Bowls hosted, with both cities having hosted the event 11 times across the course of the game’s history, making up for over a third of the Super Bowls played.

With California hosting its 14th Super Bowl this year, here’s a look at the states that have hosted the Big Game in the past 60 years:
