The NFL has officially confirmed that Super Bowl LXI will take place on February 14, 2027, in Los Angeles, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The announcement marks the official one-year countdown to the championship game, which is scheduled to be played at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood.
The game will be broadcast live on ESPN and ABC, per the league's current media rights agreement. This marks a major broadcast window for the networks, bringing the Super Bowl back to the Disney-owned platforms as part of the regular rotation between the NFL's primary television partners.
Los Angeles and SoFi Stadium previously hosted Super Bowl LVI in 2022, where the Los Angeles Rams defeated the Cincinnati Bengals. The return to the Inglewood venue highlights the league's continued investment in the Southern California market and its state-of-the-art facilities. The 2027 date will mark the first time the Super Bowl has been played on Valentine's Day, providing a high-profile slot for the conclusion of the 2026-2027 NFL season.
No further details regarding the surrounding festivities, halftime performance, or specific kickoff times have been released at this time. The NFL is expected to provide more information regarding logistics and ticketing as the event draws closer.
