The main professional American football association is the National Football League. The championship game of the National Football League is the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl is the most watched American broadcast. Most of the popular singers and musicians perform during the game’s pregame and halftime ceremonies. The day of the SuperBowl game is known as Super Bowl Sunday and is considered a de facto American national holiday. After Thanksgiving, SuperBowl Sunday is the biggest food consumption day in the United States.

Exclusive television broadcast rights for SuperBowl Sunday rotate among the major US television networks. Commercial airtime for the SuperBowl cast is the most expensive due to its high viewership. Companies periodically develop the best and most expensive advertising for this program, since it costs them the most. Another significant aspect of the event is the viewing and discussion of the broadcast commercials.

The SuperBowl was started as part of the merger agreement between the NFL and the American Football League on January 15, 1967. There was a contract between the two leagues that they would play in an AFL-NFL championship game until completion of the merger. Each league became a “conference” after the merger of the two leagues in 1970 and the game was played between the conference champions. The name SuperBowl was coined by Lamar Hunt, the former owner of the Kansas City Chiefs and a founding member of the American Football League. He named it after watching his children play with a Super Ball. Each game in Super Ball is identified by Roman numerals instead of the year in which it takes place. In 1967, SuperBowl I was held to decide the 1966 regular season champions, while Super Bowl XLIV will be played to decide the 2009 regular season champion in 2010.

The Dallas Cowboys hold the honor of having appeared in the most Super Bowls, eight times. It is the Pittsburgh Steelers who have won more Super Bowls than anyone else. They credit six victories in their graph. Of the 32 NFL teams, seventeen have won at least one SuperBowl. Among the 32, 5 NFL franchises have not appeared in the SuperBowl. These five are the Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, New Orleans Saints, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Houston Texans. But the Browns and Lions were the champions in the pre-Super Bowl era. After the start of the Super Bowl era, the Jaguars, Saints, and Texans were associated with the league.

The 44th annual Super Bowl in professional American football is Super Bowl XLIV. Its headquarters is Dolphin Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. It is the tenth time that South Florida has hosted the Super Bowl. Five of the ten games were played at Dolphin Stadium, while the remaining five were played at the Orange Bowl. The championship will be on February 7, 2010. The game will be broadcast on CBS in the US with coverage of its 50th NFL season.
