Where is Super Bowl LXI?
SoFi Stadium opened in 2020 and is home to both the Los Angeles Rams and the Los Angeles Chargers. It’s one of the most modern stadiums in the world, with a huge two-sided video screen hanging over the field.
This is SoFi’s second Super Bowl. It hosted Super Bowl LVI in February 2022, when the Rams won the title in their own stadium.
The NFL chose SoFi Stadium for Super Bowl LXI in December 2023. Since Super Bowl LVII, the league picks a host stadium directly instead of holding a bidding contest between cities.
Which network has the Super Bowl in 2027?
ABC and ESPN. The networks take turns showing the Super Bowl under the NFL’s TV deals: NBC had Super Bowl LX in February 2026, and ESPN/ABC have Super Bowl LXI. It’s the first Super Bowl in ESPN’s history; ABC last showed one in 2006 (Super Bowl XL).

Yes. If the Rams or Chargers win their conference, they would play the Super Bowl in their own stadium, just like the Rams did in 2022 and the Buccaneers did in Tampa in 2021. The Super Bowl is still a neutral-site game, but the fans would be very much on their side.
