The first game was played on January 15, 1967, as the "Super Bowl" (See New York Times Sports section January 1st and 15th, 1967 - and not simply the AFL-NFL World Championship Game' as has been reported), in which the NFL championship team played against the champion of the younger, rival American Football League (AFL) for the "World Championship of Professional Football". After both leagues merged the Super Bowl became the NFL's championship game. Since then, the game has been played annually on a Sunday following the playoffs, originally early to mid-January, then late January, and in recent years, the first Sunday in February.

Been in February since like 2002 SB. They had to reschedule it that year because the week off after the 9/11 Terrorist Attack on our soil. Well so they had to move it that year because of a scheduling conflict and that was the only time they could hold it. After that they seemed to have moved it up to February go figure.

It is not normally in January. It has fallen into February for many years now. Could be cuz of the extra round.

the last 3 superbowls have been in feb. The reason is cause they started the season a week later than usual and making it last a week longer gets more attention which means more money.
