The National Football League's plans to expand to a 17-game regular season has caused a potential scheduling clash for Super Bowl LVIII in New Orleans in 2024.

The NFL showpiece is scheduled to be played at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in the Louisiana city on February 4, 2024. But, if the season is pushed back one week due to the addition of an extra regular-season game, the Super Bowl would be played on February 11, which would directly clash with that year's Mardi Gras parade.
