The Super Bowl uses Roman numbers to classify each game, rather than the year in which it is held. For instance, Super Bowl I was played on January 15 1967, Then the regular season played in 1966, when Super Bowl XLV will be played on February 6, 2011, to elect the champion of the 2010 official season.

The game was constructed as part of a coalition deal between the NFL and its then rival league, the American Football League (AFL). It was contracted that the two leagues' champion teams would play in an AFL NFL World Championship Game until the merger was to officially launch in 1970. Afterwards the coalition, every league was redesignated as a "conference", and the game was later played between the conference champions.

The day on that the Super Bowl is played is now considered a de facto American national holiday called "Super Bowl Sunday". It is the second largest day for U.S. food consumption, after Thanksgiving Day. In greatest years, the Super Bowl is the most watched American television performance; Super Bowl XLIV played on 7 February 2010 between the New Orleans Saints and the Indianapolis Colts, became the most watched American television broadcast in history, drawing an average audience of 106.5 million viewers and taking over the spot held for 27 years by the final episode of MASH. The Super Bowl is by all of the most watched sporting events in the world, largely due to mostly North American audiences, and is second to soccer's UEFA Champions League final as the most watched annual sporting game worldwide.

Because of its rich viewership, commercial airtime during the Super Bowl broadcast is the most expensive of the year. Due to the high cost of investing in advertising on the Super Bowl, companies usually develop their most expensive advertisements for this broadcast. As a result, watching and discussing the broadcast's commercials has become a significant aspect of the event. In addition, many popular singers and musicians have performed during the event's pre game and halftime ceremonies as a result of of the exposure.

According to NFL Film President Steve Sabol, NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle wanted to call the game "The Big One". The plain story behind the name of the Super Bowl tells that one of the AFL's founders and Kansas City Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt, during the discussion to iron out the details, had jokingly referred to the proposed inter league championship as the "Super Bowl." Lamar Hunt, who died in December 2006, said he coined the term in the late 1960s after watching his kids play with a Super Ball, the making of toy manufacturer Wham-O. The small, round ball is at present on display at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. However, more earlier scholarship suggests that the name was already extant in sports journalism before the Hunt story took place, and that Hunt only applied official cachet to an unofficial nickname.

The name was consistent with post season college football games, which had long been known as "bowl games". Hunt states he only meant the name to be a stopgap until a better one could be found. "Superbowl" even sounded a bit silly at the time. Nevertheless, the name "Super Bowl" became permanent. . Tickets for the games played in 1967, 1968, and 1969 were circulated with the title "World Championship Game"
