How old was Tom Brady when he played in Super Bowl LII on February 4, 2018?
Answer
40 Years 185 Days
Tom Brady was 40 years and 185 days old when he played in Super Bowl LII on February 4, 2018. The New England Patriots quarterback was born on August 3, 1977, making the stored age precise rather than a rounded “40 years old.”
Super Bowl LII was played at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, where the Patriots faced the Philadelphia Eagles. Philadelphia won 41–33, despite Brady delivering one of the greatest passing performances in Super Bowl history: 505 passing yards and three touchdown passes.
Brady’s age is often confused with the age at which he won his sixth Super Bowl, because the championship came the following season. He was 41 when New England defeated the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LIII in February 2019. Brady remains the oldest quarterback to start and win a Super Bowl, while his 40-year-old appearance in Super Bowl LII was his eighth as a starter.
