Tottenham’s bid to host the Super Bowl will not only boost their global standing but also allow them to secure a naming rights partner as well. Hosting the Super Bowl is a pretty dramatic leap from hosting a regular-season NFL game. However, winning the bid can be challenging.

Obstacles in Tottenham’s path to hosting the Super Bowl 2026

Although the Spurs are considering bidding for Super Bowl, their chances are slim. The most obvious obstacle is London’s time zone, which doesn’t fit the American TV market. The Super Bowl is the biggest television event in the United States, generating over 100 million in viewing figures. This can jeopardize the viewing figures of US advertisers.

Tottenham will also face stiff competition from other bidders if NFL moves the Super Bowl overseas. With Sydney’s Australia Stadium showing interest, they could face a serious dilemma. The afternoon kick-off in Sydney is more convenient for American TV viewers, as it coincides with their prime-time viewing schedule. Further, if the Tottenham Hotspur club invests heavily in other sports, it can leave a negative impression on fans. This could lead to fans questioning the club’s priorities.

Nonetheless, Tottenham will host two regular-season home games next season. The NFL has also invested £10 million, plus additional payments for the maintenance of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. In any case, the site to host is not yet decided and is still in the decision stage, so it will be interesting to see what the outcome will be.
