The Ultimate Prize. The winning team gets the Vince Lombardi Trophy, named after the legendary coach who won the first two Super Bowls back in the 1960s.

When It Happens. Since 2022, the Super Bowl is played on the second Sunday in February, making that day called Super Bowl Sunday across America.

Replaced Two Leagues. When the Super Bowl started in 1966, it replaced both the old NFL Championship Game and the AFL Championship Game as the final match.

The Big Game Name. The NFL is so protective of the Super Bowl name that other companies have to call it the big game instead, since they don't sponsor it.

Started in 1966. The Super Bowl has been the championship game for every single NFL season since 1966, making it over 50 years of tradition.
