the Super Bowl 2026 has already happened. It was Sunday, 8 February 2026, 192 days ago. This page is kept because the date and the rule behind it are still worth looking up — for the live countdown, go to the Super Bowl 2027, or to the always-current countdown.
the Super Bowl 2026 is Sunday, 8 February 2026
the Super Bowl 2026 fell on Sunday, 8 February 2026, which was 192 days before 19 August 2026. That is 27 weeks and 3 days, or 133 working days once Saturdays, Sundays and the US federal holidays in between are taken out — the figure that matters if you are counting delivery lead time or a work schedule rather than sleeps. The date is 2026-02-08 in ISO form and 2/8/2026 in the US format, it falls in ISO week 6 of 2026, and it is day 39 of 365.
How the date of the Super Bowl is decided
The second Sunday in February since the 2022 season, following the move to a seventeen-game regular season. Before that it was the first Sunday in February.
That makes it a floating date: it is pinned to a weekday rather than to a day number, so it is always a Sunday but the date moves. In 2026 that is 8 February.
the Super Bowl is an observance rather than a federal holiday. Offices, banks and schools stay open unless an individual employer chooses otherwise, and it counts as an ordinary business day in every calculator here. Only the eleven federal holidays are treated as non-working days — the list and the reasoning are on the holiday sources page.
