The NFL has officially selected SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles as the host site for Super Bowl LXI in 2027, per Adam Schefter. The announcement confirms the return of the league's championship game to the state-of-the-art venue in Inglewood, California, for the second time in the stadium's history.
The decision was finalized during the NFL's league meetings, solidifying the schedule for the league's premier event. SoFi Stadium, which serves as the home for both the Los Angeles Rams and the Los Angeles Chargers, previously hosted Super Bowl LVI in February 2022. That event saw the Rams win the Lombardi Trophy on their home field.
By awarding the game to Los Angeles for the 2026 season (to be played in early 2027), the NFL continues its trend of utilizing high-capacity, modern facilities in major media markets. The selection adds to a busy calendar for the region, as Los Angeles is also slated to host matches for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Summer Olympics.
