Super Bowl LXI will be held at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles in 2027, marking the second time the venue has hosted the big game since it opened in 2020. The last time SoFi Stadium hosted the Super Bowl was in 2022 when the Los Angeles Rams won in front of their home crowd.

Why it matters

Los Angeles has a deep history of hosting the Super Bowl, with the first-ever edition of the game taking place at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in 1967. Hosting the Super Bowl provides a major economic boost to the region and allows Los Angeles to showcase its world-class venues and entertainment offerings on a global stage.

The details

Super Bowl LXI will be the 61st edition of the NFL’s championship game. SoFi Stadium, which opened in 2020, previously hosted Super Bowl LVI in 2022 when the Los Angeles Rams defeated the Cincinnati Bengals. The 2027 Super Bowl is expected to generate nearly $450 million in economic impact for the region, according to the Los Angeles Super Bowl LXI Host Committee. The halftime show for Super Bowl LVI featured a star-studded lineup of hip-hop icons including Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, and Mary J. Blige.
