Super Bowl 2023 travel to Arizona: Flights, hotels, tickets, more

If you waited until the last quarter to book your Super Bowl travel plans, here is your playbook for the home stretch.

Now we know for certain that the two teams battling it out on Feb. 12 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona will be the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles.

Be you a fan of the midwest or the east coast, now the task at hand is getting to the wild west in time for the big game, only two Sunday’s away from right now.

There are many factors involved here, should you want to head over to the game in real life, opting for a front row seat in the stadium as opposed to in front of the flatscreen.

The first step is the tickets, which we broke down here in great detail. Then, gear up to book airline tickets or a car rental depending on your location, as well as a hotel stay and party plans for after the game when celebrations break out all over the U.S. — nay, the world.

When and where is the 2023 Super Bowl?

The exact location of Super Bowl LVII is at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. However, the nearest airport is the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, which is the best bet for any flights coming from other states, which is 20 minutes outside the stadium. You can also opt for the smaller Glendale Municipal Airport, which is only 15 minutes away, however flights may be more expensive in and out of there.

After arriving in Arizona, now on Mountain Time (MST) the gates to the stadium open at 12:30 p.m. (MST) on Feb. 12, and kickoff is at 4:30 p.m. Since we know there will be traffic in and around the area, it is advised to show up on the earlier side to avoid any added stress.
