Oakland will host the NFL's official Super Bowl watch party at the Henry J. Kaiser Center for the Arts and hold numerous lead-up events across the city. Organizers will offer 1,400 free watch party tickets on a first-come, first-served registration basis with capacity limits. Regional economic impact is projected at $350–600 million, with anticipated benefits for hotels, restaurants, and other local businesses. Events aim to unite the Bay Area through sport and ensure Oakland and the East Bay are included. Community programming will include athlete engagement and youth-focused activities to inspire local children and encourage future visitation.
