The History of the Super Bowl

This iconic game began in 1966 when the NFL and AFL made an agreement. They decided their top teams would face off for the championship title each year. The inaugural match took place in 1967 and drew massive attention across the country.

In 1970, the two leagues merged to form one unified National Football League. Since then, the Super Bowl has been the official NFL championship game every season. It has been held every year without interruption and moved to February in 2022.

The winning team receives the Vince Lombardi Trophy after each championship victory. The trophy is named after Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi. He led the Packers to win the first two Super Bowl games in history. The Baltimore Colts were the first to receive the named trophy in 1971. They won Super Bowl V in Miami, USA, and made football history that day.
