We are just a few weeks away from Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans, the most anticipated event for NFL fans, and one of the big questions is who will be named the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the game.
In the previous edition of the Super Bowl, Patrick Mahomes not only led the Chiefs to their second consecutive Vince Lombardi Trophy, but the quarterback was also named MVP, as he was in 2023 and 2020.
Josh Allen confessed how devastated he felt when he didn’t received any scholarships to play in college
One of the doubts that prevails around the MVP is the number of prizes and bonuses that this Super Bowl hero gets, which we reveal below.

Cash prize
The Super Bowl MVP does not receive any additional specific cash award for this title, which is awarded directly by the NFL.
However, all players on the winning team receive a cash bonus for winning the Super Bowl.
For example, in Super Bowl LVIII, each player on the winning team received $164,000, which came from the coffers of the Kansas City Chiefs owners.
Trophy
Since Super Bowl XXV, the MVP has been awarded the Pete Rozelle Trophy, named after former NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle.
The player who has won this trophy the most times is Tom Brady, on a total of five occasions, four with the New England Patriots and one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Additional bonuses
In addition to the Super Bowl-winning bonus, players may have incentives or clauses in their contracts that award them additional payments for achievements such as being named MVP.
These bonuses vary according to the individual contract of each player and are not standard for everyone.
In addition, The Walt Disney Company invites the MVP of the game to one of its amusement parks. As the February 9 game will be held in New Orleans, the winner will visit Disney World in Orlando, Florida.
When the Super Bowl is played on the West Coast, the winner goes to Disneyland in California.
