LOS ANGELES (CNS) – Now that the dust has settled from the Seattle Seahawks’ victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XL, the countdown has begun for the big game’s return to the Los Angeles area after a five-year absence.
The Los Angeles Super Bowl Host Committee, led by the Los Angeles Sports & Entertainment Commission, officially received the handoff of Super Bowl LXI that will be played at SoFi Stadium on Feb. 14, 2027.
“We are thrilled to return to the world-class SoFi Stadium for Super Bowl LXI, five years after the Los Angeles Rams lifted the Lombardi Trophy on their home field,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Monday. “LA is our backyard: two franchises, NFL Network, incredible media partners and in 2028, flag football in the Summer Olympics. We have the utmost confidence in the Los Angeles Super Bowl Host Committee to put on another great show.”
Super Bowl LVI was played on Feb. 13, 2022, and turned into a celebration of Los Angeles, with the Rams winning their first championship representing the city (the team also won in January 2000 when they were the St. Louis Rams), and a hip-hop halftime show led by local icons Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and others.
The NFL said the game also delivered “historic global viewership, record-setting engagement, and significant economic and community impact across the region.”
“Los Angeles is proud to once again welcome the NFL’s biggest moment of the year to Los Angeles,” said Kathryn Schloessman, president and CEO of the Los Angeles Sports & Entertainment Commission and CEO of the Los Angeles Super Bowl Host Committee. “Hosting Super Bowl LXI allows Los Angeles to leverage a global stage to celebrate its history, uplift our communities, and create lasting economic and social impact that extends far beyond the final whistle.”
In addition to the game, the slate of highly anticipated events that make up Super Bowl Week, including NFL Honors, Super Bowl Experience, Super Bowl Opening Night and a community program, will take place around the Los Angeles region.
