In professional American football, the Super Bowl is the name of the championship game of the National Football League (NFL) in the United States. The game and its ancillary festivities constitute Super Bowl Sunday.
The Super Bowl was first played on January 15, 1967 as part of an agreement between the NFL and its younger rival, the American Football League (AFL) in which each league's championship team would play each other in an "AFL-NFL World Championship Game". After both leagues merged in 1970, 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.
The Super Bowl is usually the most-watched U.S. television broadcast of the year, attracting many companies to spend millions of dollars on commercials. This has caused the starting time of the game to be pushed back later and later, to ensure the Sunday night prime time audience on the East Coast. The last true day game (which ended before local sunset) of the series was Super Bowl XI in January 1977.
In addition, many popular singers and musicians have performed during the Super Bowl's pre-game and halftime ceremonies. This is the second-largest U.S. food consumption day, following Thanksgiving.
The Super Bowl uses Roman numerals to identify each game, rather than the year it was held. The NFL season spreads over two calendar years, so identifying the games by the year of the Super Bowl could cause some confusion. For example, the Pittsburgh Steelers, winners of Super Bowl XL are the champions of the 2005 season, even though the championship game was played in February 2006.

The idea for the Super Bowl came up when the American Football League started to challenge the NFL in the 1960's. They held the first Super Bowl at the Los Angeles Coliseum between Green Bay and Kansas City. That came was called the NFL-AFL Championship game and would be later called Super Bowl I. It wasn't until the following year that they called it the Super Bowl.

The NFL teams are divided into two categories, the AFC and the NFC. Some teams are in the AFC while others are in the NFC. At the end of the year all the best teams from the AFC compete in a single elimination tournament against one another and the NFC teams do the same. The remaining AFC team(Colts) and NFC team(Bears) then compete against one another in the Superbowl to decide what team is the best.
