The Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL) that determines the league champion. This game marks the culmination of a season that begins in the previous calendar year and concludes with the NFL playoffs.
The winning team receives the Vince Lombardi Trophy. The Super Bowl is held in an American city chosen three to four years in advance, typically at warm-weather locations or in domed stadiums.
Since January 1971, the Super Bowl has featured the winner of the American Football Conference (AFC) Championship Game against the winner of the National Football Conference (NFC) Championship Game, serving as the final game of the NFL playoffs.
Prior to the 1970 merger between the American Football League (AFL) and the NFL, the two leagues competed in four championship games. The first two were marketed as the “AFL–NFL World Championship Game,” though they were casually referred to as the “Super Bowl” during television broadcasts.
Super Bowl III, played in January 1969, was the first game to officially use the “Super Bowl” moniker in its marketing; the names “Super Bowl I” and “Super Bowl II” were later retroactively applied to the first two championship games.
