Super Bowl XLIII will be the 43rd Super Bowl, the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL) between the National Football Conference (NFC) and American Football Conference (AFC) champions. The game is scheduled to be played on February 1, 2009. Tampa, Florida was selected for the game site on May 25, 2005, beating out three other finalists: Atlanta, Georgia; Houston, Texas; and Miami, Florida. It will be the fourth Super Bowl played in Tampa, and the second in Raymond James Stadium.
The game will be televised on NBC, which will be their first Super Bowl telecast since Super Bowl XXXII. Assuming that John Madden and Al Michaels are still active, they would likely call the game. It would be their first Super Bowl together since Super Bowl XL but their first together as employees of NBC, and it would be the third overall Super Bowl broadcast by Michaels and Madden.
This will likely be the last Super Bowl to be carried on analog television as American television stations are scheduled to switch to digital output by February 17, 2009. [1]
