The Super Bowl is a game of American football that is played annually to determine which team will emerge as the champion in the National Football League's (NFL). The Super Bowl marks the end of the season which starts in the preceding calendar year. The venue for the Super Bowl is chosen about three or four years prior to the event. It is generally held in an American city, usually in dome stadiums or warm-weather sites. At the end of every NFL playoffs, the National Football Conference (NFC) Championship Game's winner has to play against the American Football Conference (AFC) Championship Game's winner. This has been a trend since January 1971.
