Los Angeles is preparing to host Super Bowl LXI at SoFi Stadium in 2027, following the conclusion of Super Bowl LX. SoFi Stadium and the greater LA area will host multiple major global events in the coming years, including the FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Olympics. Organizers say the 2027 Super Bowl will benefit from expanded transportation options and could feature a hometown matchup involving the Rams or Chargers.

Why it matters

Hosting the Super Bowl is a major economic and publicity boost for any city, and Los Angeles has the opportunity to showcase itself on the global stage through a series of high-profile sporting events over the next several years.

The details

The Los Angeles Sports & Entertainment Commission says that while the LA area hosted a successful Super Bowl at SoFi Stadium in 2022, there were some limitations due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, they feel they have a chance to "raise the bar" in 2027 with expanded Metro options to improve the visitor experience. The commission also hopes the 2027 Super Bowl could feature a hometown matchup between the Rams and Chargers, which would be a "fairy-tale ending" for the game.

  • Super Bowl LX will conclude shortly before preparations begin for Super Bowl LXI in 2027.
  • SoFi Stadium will also host matches for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Summer Olympics.
