Three cities – Atlanta, Miami and Los Angeles – are favored to land the Super Bowl when the NFL announces who will host three more games on Tuesday.

Tuesday afternoon, football fans across the country will find out the three cities that will host the biggest game of the NFL season when the league announces which cities will be the sites for Super Bowl games in 2019, 2020 and 2021.

With five reported cities bidding for the three games, two teams will be sent home from this week’s meetings with nothing, while the other three cities will get to work preparing for maybe the biggest individual event in all of professional sports to take place in their city.

According to one NFL insider, each of the three games up for grabs have a favorite:

Atlanta has hosted the Super Bowl twice before, with that last being the now Los Angeles Rams‘ victory over the Tennessee Titans in Super Bowl XXXIV. Super Bowl 53 would be played at the new Mercedes-Benz Stadium, opening in 2017, in February 2019 and likely be broadcast by CBS based on current patterns.

South Florida has been bidding for the Super Bowl to return since hosting Super Bowl XLIV (New Orleans Saints over the Indianapolis Colts), which was the 10th time the game was held in the Miami area. Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is spending over $400 million to revamp the team’s stadium in hopes of landing another big game. Super Bowl 54 would be played in February 2020 and likely be broadcast by FOX.

The NFL is returning to Los Angeles this season with the Rams making a comeback in their former home. The team is building a brand new, over $1 billion stadium in Inglewood with hopes of attracting some top sporting events. The city of L.A. has not hosted a Super Bowl since the 1972 season, while neighboring Pasadena has hosted four since, the last one being in 1993. If they land Super Bowl 55, it would be played in February 2021 and likely be broadcast by NBC.

Super Bowl LI will take place February 5, 2017 in Houston, Texas while Super Bowl LII will be played February 4, 2018 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
