Among those on the crew are umpire Barry Anderson, down judge Kent Payne, line judge Carl Johnson, field judge Michael Banks, side judge Boris Cheek, back judge Greg Steed and replay official Mike Chase.
These are the first Super Bowl assignments for Anderson and Chase, and the third for Payne and Cheek.
In 2019, Vinovich headed up the crew that officiated the Rams-Saints NFC Championship that featured the controversial non-call on pass interference late in the game
