London Mayor Sadiq Khan has expressed interest in hosting the Super Bowl in his city. Khan emphasized the importance of bringing American sports fans to Europe and highlighted London’s existing portfolio of American football games. The proposal faces opposition from American football fans who prefer the event to remain in the United States. Typically, Super Bowls are awarded to a team and stadium combination, raising questions about the feasibility of Khan's proposal without a franchise move to London. The NFL will need to consider whether to prioritize London over other U.S. cities like New Orleans, Dallas, Miami, Phoenix, Tampa, New York, and Chicago, which also seek to host the game. Khan's comments were reported by POLITICO, and he aims to convince NFL owners to support the idea.
