How are the Super Bowl referees chosen? - chof 360 news

A post on X of the referees for the Super Bowl

[BBC]

The referees have been in the news this week - and here's who the officiating crew are who will work on Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans. Including a former Super Bowl winner no less.

In case you're interested, the referees are an all-star team and are chosen on the basis of their performances throughout the season.

A group of former officials and coaches evaluate the referees on every call they make on every play throughout the season and give them a grade.

The highest graded official in each different position is then chosen for the play-offs and the Super Bowl.

So even though there is a lot of noise about them, the team for Sunday has been the best performing and made the most correct calls during the season. So surely nobody will complain about them, right?
