[The league announced on October 16, 2012, that the two finalists were Sun Life Stadium and Levi's Stadium., The South Florida/Miami area has previously hosted the event 10 times (tied for most with New Orleans), with the most recent one being Super Bowl XLIV in 2010., The San Francisco Bay Area last hosted in 1985 (Super Bowl XIX), held at Stanford Stadium in Stanford Stadium, California, won by the home team 49ers., The South Florida/Miami bid depended on whether the stadium underwent renovations., However, on May 3, 2013, the South Florida/Miami legislature refused to approve the funding plan to pay for the renovations, dealing a significant blow to Miami's chances.]

[For the third straight season, the number one seeds from both conferences met in the Super Bowl., The Carolina Panthers became one of only ten teams to have completed a regular season with only one loss, and one of only six teams to have acquired a 15–1 record, while the Denver Broncos became one of four teams to have made eight appearances in the Super Bowl., The Denver Broncos made their second Super Bowl appearance in three years, having reached Super Bowl XLVIII, while the Panthers made their second Super Bowl appearance in franchise history, their other appearance being Super Bowl XXXVIII., Coincidentally, both teams were coached by John Fox in their last Super Bowl appearance prior to Super Bowl 50.]

[Despite waiving longtime running back DeAngelo Williams and losing top wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin to a torn ACL in the preseason, the Carolina Panthers had their best regular season in franchise history, becoming the seventh team to win at least 15 regular season games since the league expanded to a 16-game schedule in 1978., Carolina started the season 14–0, not only setting franchise records for the best start and the longest single-season winning streak, but also posting the best start to a season by an NFC team in NFL history, breaking the 13–0 record previously shared with the 2009 New Orleans Saints and the 2011 Green Bay Packers., With their NFC-best 15–1 regular season record, the Panthers clinched home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs for the first time in franchise history., Ten players were selected to the Pro Bowl (the most in franchise history) along with eight All-Pro selections.]

[The Panthers offense, which led the NFL in scoring (500 points), was loaded with talent, boasting six Pro Bowl selections., Pro Bowl quarterback Cam Newton had one of his best seasons, throwing for 3,837 yards and rushing for 636, while recording a career-high and league-leading 45 total touchdowns (35 passing, 10 rushing), a career-low 10 interceptions, and a career-best quarterback rating of 99.4., Newton's leading receivers were tight end Greg Olsen, who caught a career-high 77 passes for 1,104 yards and seven touchdowns, and wide receiver Ted Ginn, Jr., who caught 44 passes for 739 yards and 10 touchdowns; Ted Ginn also rushed for 60 yards and returned 27 punts for 277 yards., Other key receivers included veteran Jerricho Cotchery (39 receptions for 485 yards), rookie Devin Funchess (31 receptions for 473 yards and five touchdowns), and second-year receiver Corey Brown (31 receptions for 447 yards)., The Panthers backfield featured Pro Bowl running back Jonathan Stewart, who led the team with 989 rushing yards and six touchdowns in 13 games, along with Pro Bowl fullback Mike Tolbert, who rushed for 256 yards and caught 18 passes for another 154 yards., Carolina's offensive line also featured two Pro Bowl selections: center Ryan Kalil and guard Trai Turner.]

[Following their loss in the divisional round of the previous season's playoffs, the Denver Broncos underwent numerous coaching changes, including a mutual parting with head coach John Fox (who had won four divisional championships in his four years as Denver Broncos head coach), and the hiring of Gary Kubiak as the new head coach., Under Kubiak, the Denver Broncos planned to install a run-oriented offense with zone blocking to blend in with quarterback Peyton Manning's shotgun passing skills, but struggled with numerous changes and injuries to the offensive line, as well as Manning having his worst statistical season since his rookie year with the Indianapolis Colts in 1998, due to a plantar fasciitis injury in his heel that he had suffered since the summer, and the simple fact that Manning was getting old, as he turned 39 in the 2015 off-season., Although the team had a 7–0 start, Peyton Manning led the NFL in interceptions., In week 10, Peyton Manning suffered a partial tear of the plantar fasciitis in his left foot., He set the NFL's all-time record for career passing yards in this game, but was benched after throwing four interceptions in favor of backup quarterback Brock Osweiler, who took over as the starter for most of the remainder of the regular season., Osweiler was injured, however, leading to Manning's return during the Week 17 regular season finale, where the Denver Broncos were losing 13–7 against the 4–11 San Diego Chargers, resulting in Manning re-claiming the starting quarterback position for the playoffs by leading the team to a key 27–20 win that enabled the team to clinch the number one overall AFC seed., Under defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, the Broncos' defense ranked number one in total yards allowed, passing yards allowed and sacks, and like the previous three seasons, the team has continued to set numerous individual, league and franchise records., With the defense carrying the team despite the issues with the offense, the Denver Broncos finished the regular season with a 12–4 record and earned home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs.]

[This was the first Super Bowl to feature a quarterback on both teams who was the #1 pick in their draft classes., Manning was the #1 selection of the 1998 NFL draft, while Newton for Carolina was picked first in 2011., The matchup also pits the top two picks of the 2011 draft against each other: Newton for Carolina and Von Miller for Denver., Manning and Newton for Carolina also set the record for the largest age difference between opposing Super Bowl quarterbacks at 13 years and 48 days (Manning was 39, Newton for Carolina was 26).]

[As the designated home team in the annual rotation between AFC and NFC teams, the Broncos elected to wear their road white jerseys with matching white pants., Elway stated, "We've had Super Bowl success in our white uniforms.", The Broncos last wore matching white jerseys and pants in the Super Bowl in Super Bowl XXXIII, Elway's last game as Denver QB, when they defeated the Atlanta Falcons 34–19., In their only other Super Bowl win in Super Bowl XXXII, Denver QB wore blue jerseys, which was their primary color at the time., They also lost Super Bowl XXI when they wore white jerseys, but they are 0-4 in Super Bowls when wearing orange jerseys, losing in Super Bowl XII, XXII, XXIV, and XLVIII., The only other AFC champion team to have worn white as the designated home team in the Super Bowl was the Pittsburgh Steelers; they defeated the Seattle Seahawks 21–10 in Super Bowl XL 10 seasons prior., The Broncos' decision to wear white meant the Panthers would wear their standard home uniform: black jerseys with silver pants.]

[On December 28, 2015, ESPN Deportes announced that they had reached an agreement with CBS and the NFL to be the exclusive Spanish-language broadcaster of the game, marking the third dedicated Spanish-language broadcast of the Super Bowl., Unlike NBC and Fox, CBS does not have a Spanish-language outlet of its own that could broadcast the game (though per league policy, a separate Spanish play-by-play call was carried on CBS's second audio program channel for over-the-air viewers)., The game was called by ESPN Deportes' Monday Night Football commentary crew of Alvaro Martin and Raul Allegre, and sideline reporter John Sutcliffe., ESPN Deportes broadcast pre-game and post-game coverage, while Martin, Allegre, and John Sutcliffe contributed English-language reports for ESPN's SportsCenter and Mike & Mike.]

[Denver took the opening kickoff and started out strong with Peyton Manning completing an 18-yard pass to tight end Owen Daniels and a 22-yard throw to receiver Andre Caldwell., A pair of carries by C. J. Anderson moved the ball up 20 yards to the Panthers 14-yard line, but Carolina's defense dug in over the next three plays., First, linebacker Shaq Thompson tackled Ronnie Hillman for a 3-yard loss., Then after an incompletion, Thomas Davis tackled C. J. Anderson for a 1-yard gain on third down, forcing Denver to settle for a 3–0 lead on a Brandon McManus 34-yard field goal., The score marked the first time in the entire postseason that Carolina was facing a deficit.]

[After each team punted, Panthers quarterback Cam Newton appeared to complete a 24-yard pass Jerricho Cotchery, but the call was ruled an incompletion and upheld after a replay challenge., CBS analyst and retired referee Mike Carey stated he disagreed with the call and felt the review clearly showed the pass was complete., A few plays later, on 3rd-and-10 from the 15-yard line, linebacker Von Miller knocked the ball out of Newton's hands while sacking him, and Malik Jackson recovered it in the end zone for a Broncos touchdown, giving the team a 10–0 lead., This was the first fumble return touchdown in a Super Bowl since Super Bowl XXVIII at the end of the 1993 season.]

[After a punt from both teams, Carolina got on track with a 9-play, 73-yard scoring drive., Newton completed 4 of 4 passes for 51 yards and rushed twice for 25 yards, while Jonathan Stewart finished the drive with a 1-yard touchdown run, cutting the score to 10–7 with 11:28 left in the second quarter., Later on, Broncos receiver Jordan Norwood received Brad Nortman's short 28-yard punt surrounded by Panthers players, but none of them attempted to make a tackle, apparently thinking Jordan Norwood had called a fair catch., Norwood had not done so, and with no resistance around him, he took off for a Super Bowl record 61-yard return before Mario Addison dragged him down on the Panthers 14-yard line., Despite Denver's excellent field position, they could not get the ball into the end zone, so McManus kicked a 33-yard field goal that increased their lead to 13–7.]

[The Panthers seemed primed to score on their opening drive of the second half when Newton completed a 45-yard pass to Ted Ginn Jr. on the Denver 35-yard line on their second offensive play., But the Broncos defense halted the drive on the 26-yard line, and it ended with no points when Graham Gano hit the uprights on a 44-yard field goal attempt., After the miss, Manning completed a pair of passes to Emmanuel Sanders for gains of 25 and 22 yards, setting up McManus' 33-yard field goal that gave the Broncos a 16–7 lead., Carolina got off to another strong start after the kickoff, with Newton completing a 42-yard pass to Corey Brown., But once again they came up empty, this time as a result of a Newton pass that bounced off the hands of Ted Ginn Jr. and was intercepted by safety T. J. Ward., Ward fumbled the ball during the return, but Trevathan recovered it to enable Denver to keep possession.]
