Super Bowl LII, the 52nd Super Bowl and the 48th modern-era National Football League (NFL) championship game, will decide the league champion for the 2017 NFL season. The game is scheduled to be held on February 4, 2018, at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the second Super Bowl in Minneapolis, which previously hosted Super Bowl XXVI in 1992.

Super Bowl LII, the 52nd Super Bowl and the 48th modern-era National Football League championship game, will decide the league champion for the 2017 NFL season.

The Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, will host media day events and press conferences. More than 5,000 media members are expected to come to the Twin Cities for the Super Bowl. For coordination of the game and 10 days of events, the National Football League will temporarily operate an events office within the Minnesota Vikings office building next to U.S. Bank Stadium. More than one million visitors are expected to attend events associated with the Super Bowl over ten days.

Admission tickets to the game and related events, as well as parking, received state tax exemptions. Increased security operations around U.S. Bank Stadium will close the stadium's light rail station for 48 hours before the game, and a nearby homeless shelter will temporarily relocate outside of the security perimeter.

Officials in the capital city hope to attract Minneapolis Super Bowl visitors.

ESPN will broadcast from the IDS Center in downtown Minneapolis.

NBC will hold the television rights to Super Bowl LII. Taking advantage of the 2018 Winter Olympics that begin five days later (marking the first time since 1992 that a single broadcast network will air the Super Bowl and Winter Olympics in the same year), NBC disclosed plans to offer advertising packages that cover both events. Mike Tirico, who replaced Bob Costas for the 2017 season as NBC's lead NFL studio host, and as primetime host of NBC's Olympics coverage, will not participate in coverage of the Super Bowl in order to prepare for the Games in Pyeongchang. For the first time in the league's history, the online television broadcast of the game will be fully network-neutral, at the behest of the league. As part of a five-year contract extension with the league, Verizon Wireless, which had previously held exclusive rights to distribute games to devices 7 inches (180 mm) or smaller and had only offered those streams to Verizon subscribers, agreed to offer the streams to all devices of that size in exchange for rights to stream games to larger Internet-connected devices; that agreement begins with the start of the 2017–18 playoffs.

This will be the last game in Westwood One's current national radio contract with the NFL. Each participating team's flagship station will also carry the game with local announcers. Under the terms of the Westwood One contract, any radio station that is not a local flagship, if they are to carry the game, must use the Westwood One feed.
