The Super Bowl happens once every year , as the championship game that wraps up each NFL season.

Quick Scoop

  • It is an annual event, not every few years.
  • The game is traditionally played on a Sunday in early to mid‑February in recent seasons (previously in January for many years).
  • Each NFL season runs from early September through the playoffs, and the Super Bowl is the final game of that season.

Little extra context

You can think of it like the NFL’s “final exam” for the season: all the regular-season and playoff games build toward this one matchup, which is held every year and numbered with Roman numerals (for example, Super Bowl I, II, III, etc.) rather than by calendar year.
