The Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL), originating in 1966 from a merger agreement between the NFL and the rival American Football League (AFL). Initially known as the AFL–NFL World Championship Game, it adopted the iconic "Super Bowl" moniker by 1969 and awards the prestigious Vince Lombardi Trophy to the victors, now played between the champions of the AFC and NFC. Among the most successful franchises, the Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots each boast a record six Super Bowl titles, while 20 of the NFL's 32 teams have won at least one championship. More than just a game, Super Bowl Sunday is a global spectacle renowned for its massive viewership, star-studded halftime shows, highly anticipated commercials, and status as America's second-largest event for food consumption.
