Miami will host Super LIV this year, with the game set to be played at Hard Rock Stadium – the home of the Miami Dolphins.
It will be the 11th time the city hosts the Super Bowl, breaking the tie with New Orleans for most Super Bowls played in a city. Miami has a rich history of hosting Super Bowls between the Orange Bowl stadium and Hard Rock Stadium (which has also been known as Joe Robbie Stadium Pro Player Stadium, Dolphin Stadium and Sun Life Stadium over the years).
This year’s Super Bowl will be played at Hard Rock for the sixth time. The Orange Bowl hosted the Super Bowl five times, but the Hard Rock Stadium has hosted the Super Bowl more recently.
Here’s a look back at some of the Super Bowls played in the city.
