Super Bowl XLVIII Super Bowl XLVIII will be the 48th edition of the Super Bowl in American football , and the 44th annual championship game of the modern - era National Football League ( NFL ) . It is scheduled to be held on February 2 , 2014 at MetLife Stadium at the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford , New Jersey to determine the champion for the 2013 season . This would be the first Super Bowl to be played outdoors in a cold weather environment , the first in 38 years to be played outdoors on artificial turf and the first in which two US states ( New York and New Jersey ) will work together with hosting duties . Because it will be held outside , planners say there may be logistical issues that could arise that no other Super Bowl has ever experienced , including the possibility of holding the in - stadium halftime show in extremely frigid , inclement weather . In the United States , the rights to televise the game nationally are held by Fox and simulcast in Canada on CTV . Host selection process . Three stadiums were part of the bidding to host the game : Tampa has hosted four Super Bowls ( XVIII , XXV , XXXV , XLIII ) . South Florida / Miami has hosted ten Super Bowls ( II , III , V , X , XIII , XXIII , XXIX , XXXIII , XLI , and XLIV ) . South Florida / Miami was eliminated in the second round of voting . New Jersey beat Tampa in the fourth round of voting , after receiving a simple majority . Super Bowl XLVIII will be the first Super Bowl intentionally held at an open stadium in a " cold - weather " city ; previous Super Bowls in cold - weather cities were held at indoor stadiums . To date , the coldest outdoor Super Bowl was Super Bowl VI , at Tulane Stadium in New Orleans on January 16 , 1972 , with a kickoff temperature of . However , New Orleans usually has a humid subtropical climate , with January morning lows averaging around , and daily highs around . Since Super Bowl X in 1976 all but one outdoor Super Bowl has been played in either California or Florida , the exception being Super Bowl XXX in Tempe , Arizona . NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has indicated that if Super Bowl XLVIII is successful , additional " cold - weather " Super Bowls will be considered . Super Bowl XLVIII will be the first NFL Championship Game to be held in the New York metropolitan area since December 30 , 1962 , when the Green Bay Packers beat the New York Giants in the original Yankee Stadium , 16 - 7 . Since then , two other major pro football leagues have held title games in the area : New York City was scheduled to host Super Bowl XLIV upon the completion of the proposed West Side Stadium . When the stadium proposal was rejected , Sun Life Stadium in Miami was selected to host the game instead . MetLife Stadium will be the first Super Bowl venue which is simultaneously home to two NFL teams , the New York Giants and the New York Jets . The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum ( which hosted Super Bowls I and VII ) was the home of the Los Angeles Rams and the Los Angeles Raiders , but not at the same time . Halftime show issues . As the first Super Bowl held at an open stadium in a " cold - weather " city , planners have indicated that there may not be a halftime show due to the weather . One such logistical problem that could arise is trying to assemble and disassemble the halftime show stage during a cold blizzard . However , the league has stated that an in - stadium Super Bowl halftime show will still be held . According to Mike Florio of Profootballtalk . com , the NFL still wants to avoid a repeat of what happened during Super Bowl XXVI in January 1992 when Fox counter - programmed a special live episode of " In Living Color " ; as a result of that ratings success , the league tapped Michael Jackson to perform during the following season ' s Super Bowl XXVII , and more big - name talent since then to hold the TV audience .
