The NFL will host its 58th Super Bowl or Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday, Feb. 11, when the Kansas City Chiefs square off against the San Francisco 49ers. This year's big game will take place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, with kickoff at 6:30 p.m. EST.
However, the league uses ascending Roman numerals to address the Super Bowl with each passing year. The reasoning behind this tradition is not too complicated.
The NFL uses Roman numerals for Super Bowls to avoid confusion regarding the particular season's big game. As the Super Bowl takes place in the year following the start of the campaign's regular season, it can be mistaken if it's recorded on the signifying calendar year.

Notably, the league had abandoned using the Roman numerals during Super Bowl 50 when the Denver Broncos beat the Carolina Panthers. However, the following year's big game was once again referred to by its Roman numbers (Super Bowl LI for Super Bowl 51).
