Super Bowl 2027, officially designated Super Bowl LXI, is scheduled for Sunday, February 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, and will air on ESPN and ABC — the first Super Bowl broadcast in ESPN’s history.
The game is set to be played at SoFi Stadium and will air on ESPN with a simulcast on ABC, marking ESPN’s first-ever Super Bowl telecast. The two participating teams will not be determined until the AFC and NFC Championship Games conclude in January 2027.
As of August 18, 2026, the Los Angeles Rams hold the only single-digit championship odds among all 32 teams at FanDuel Sportsbook, at +500, making them the early favorite.
This guide does not cover team-by-team playoff projections, individual player statistics, or a confirmed halftime performer, because none has been officially named as of this writing.
It focuses on verified, dated facts about the date, venue, broadcast, odds, tickets, and entertainment surrounding Super Bowl 2027.

When Is Super Bowl 2027?
Super Bowl 2027 is Sunday, February 14, 2027. The date places Super Bowl LXI on the same day as Valentine’s Day, a scheduling coincidence tied to the NFL’s post-2021 calendar, which pushed the championship game to mid-February following the league’s expansion to a 17-game regular season.
This is not a permanent fixture: Super Bowl LXII in 2028 does not yet have a confirmed date, and prior Super Bowls have fallen anywhere from late January to mid-February depending on the length of that season’s schedule.
Why Super Bowl 2027 Falls on Valentine’s Day
Super Bowl 2027 lands on Valentine’s Day because of where February 14, 2027 falls on the calendar relative to the NFL’s standard postseason structure, not because of any deliberate scheduling choice by the league.
The NFL sets the Super Bowl for the second Sunday of February in most years under the current 17-game format, and February 14 is that second Sunday in 2027.
This is the first time the modern Super Bowl has coincided with Valentine’s Day, creating overlapping demand for restaurant reservations, hotel rooms, and travel bookings in the host region.
Super Bowl 2027 Kickoff Time and Broadcast Window
Super Bowl LXI is expected to kick off at approximately 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time (3:30 p.m. Pacific Time) on February 14, 2027.
FBSchedules.com lists the game’s broadcast start on ESPN and ABC at 6:30 p.m. ET. For context, Super Bowl LX aired from 6:40 p.m. to 10:28 p.m. ET in 2026, so Super Bowl LXI’s runtime — including pregame ceremonies, the game itself, and the halftime show — typically spans close to four hours.
Where Is Super Bowl 2027 Being Held?
Super Bowl 2027 is being held at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, home of the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers.
This will be the ninth Super Bowl hosted in the Greater Los Angeles metropolitan area, and SoFi Stadium previously hosted Super Bowl LVI in 2022.
NFL owners voted unanimously to award Super Bowl LXI to Los Angeles during league meetings in Dallas.
SoFi Stadium: Capacity, Ownership and Design
SoFi Stadium seats roughly 70,000 fans for a Super Bowl. SoFi Stadium is expected to welcome around 70,000 fans to Super Bowl LXI.
The stadium opened in 2020 as the shared home of the Rams and Chargers and sits within the Hollywood Park entertainment district. The venue is part of the Hollywood Park entertainment district in Inglewood.
Super Bowl LXI vs. Super Bowl LVI: SoFi Stadium, Five Years Apart
Super Bowl LXI is not SoFi Stadium’s first championship game — Super Bowl LVI was played there on February 13, 2022, when the Los Angeles Rams defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 to win the title on their home field.
The two events differ substantially in broadcast rights, halftime sponsorship, and regional economic scale, even though they share a venue.
| Attribute | Super Bowl LVI (2022) | Super Bowl LXI (2027) |
|---|---|---|
| Date | Sunday, February 13, 2022 | Sunday, February 14, 2027 |
| Winner | Los Angeles Rams, 23-20 over Cincinnati Bengals | Not yet determined |
| Broadcast network | NBC | ESPN (first time) and ABC (first since 2006) |
| Halftime sponsor | Pepsi | Apple Music |
| Halftime headliners | Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar, 50 Cent | Not yet confirmed |
| Average resale ticket price (~12 days out) | $10,194 | Not yet established |
| Regional economic impact | $477 million | Not yet measured |
| Greater LA Super Bowl count | 8th | 9th |
Super Bowl LVI generated upwards of $477 million in economic impact across the Los Angeles region and, through the Los Angeles Sports & Entertainment Commission’s Business Connect program, involved 225 women-, minority-, LGBTQIA+- and veteran-owned businesses.
Twelve days before Super Bowl LVIII in 2024, SeatGeek’s average resale price stood at $12,240, while the average for the 2022 Los Angeles game was $10,194 at the same point in the ticket cycle.
Traveling to Super Bowl 2027: Airports, Transit and Hotels
Fans attending Super Bowl 2027 in person typically fly into Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), the closest major airport to Inglewood, or Hollywood Burbank Airport as a secondary option.
SoFi Stadium sits within the Hollywood Park development, which includes on-site hotel and entertainment infrastructure built specifically to support large events.
Because Los Angeles will have hosted 2026 FIFA World Cup matches roughly eight months before Super Bowl LXI, hotel inventory across the region is likely to see compounding demand from both mega-events within the same twelve-month cycle — a scheduling overlap unique to this Super Bowl among recent host cities.
What Does “Super Bowl LXI” Mean? Numeral, Branding and Entity Disambiguation
Super Bowl LXI is the Roman-numeral designation for Super Bowl 2027; “LXI” is 61 in Roman numerals, which is why the game is also referred to informally as “Super 61.”
The official logo for Super Bowl LXI was unveiled by broadcaster ESPN on February 8, 2026, during a post-Super Bowl LX edition of SportsCenter hosted by Scott Van Pelt from SoFi Stadium, with a formal unveiling the following day at a Los Angeles press conference accompanied by an introductory video narrated by Inglewood-based rapper D Smoke.
All three labels — “Super Bowl 2027,” “Super Bowl LXI,” and “Super 61” — refer to the identical game; none is more official than another, though NFL and broadcast materials use “Super Bowl LXI” as the primary designation.
Super Bowl 2027 is not the same event as the 2026 season’s earlier playoff rounds, the Pro Bowl, or the NFL Draft, all of which are separate NFL properties held on different dates and, in most cases, at different venues.
Upcoming Super Bowl Host Cities: 2026–2030
Super Bowl host sites are set several years in advance through a vote of NFL team owners. The table below lists every confirmed and announced Super Bowl location from 2026 through 2030, including the broadcast network for each.
| Super Bowl | Season | Date | Stadium | City | Broadcast Network |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LX | 2025 | Sunday, February 8, 2026 | Levi’s Stadium | Santa Clara, California | NBC |
| LXI | 2026 | Sunday, February 14, 2027 | SoFi Stadium | Inglewood, California | ESPN / ABC |
| LXII | 2027 | February 2028 (exact date pending) | Mercedes-Benz Stadium | Atlanta, Georgia | CBS |
| LXIII | 2028 | February 2029 | Allegiant Stadium | Las Vegas, Nevada | Fox |
| LXIV | 2029 | February 2030 | Nissan Stadium | Nashville, Tennessee | NBC |
Super Bowl LXII is scheduled for Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta in February 2028, but its specific date depends on whether the league expands the 2027 regular season from 17 to 18 games.
Super Bowl LXIII is set for Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, in February 2029, marking the second Super Bowl held in the state of Nevada following Super Bowl LVIII at the same venue in 2024.
Super Bowl LXIV is planned for February 2030 at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee — the first Super Bowl ever held in that state.
The Super Bowl LXIII announcement, made at NFL owners’ meetings in Phoenix, also confirmed that Allegiant Stadium will host the College Football Playoff national championship in 2027 and the Final Four in 2028.
Super Bowl 2027 Odds: Current Favorites and How They’re Calculated
The Los Angeles Rams are the current favorite to win Super Bowl LXI. This reflects futures odds posted throughout August 2026, before the 2026 regular season kicks off in September.
The Rams remain atop Super Bowl futures odds heading into August, a position reinforced by the team’s offseason addition of pass rusher Myles Garrett.
Among current futures odds, the Rams are the only team with single-digit odds at FanDuel Sportsbook, priced at +500 as of August 16, 2026.
Super Bowl LXI Futures Odds
| Team | Odds (DraftKings, August 3, 2026) | Implied Win Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Los Angeles Rams | +550 | 15.4% |
| Buffalo Bills | +1000 | 9.1% |
| Baltimore Ravens | +1000 | 9.1% |
| Seattle Seahawks (defending champions) | +1100 | 8.3% |
| Kansas City Chiefs | +1500 | 6.3% |
On DraftKings’ board as of August 3, 2026, the Rams sit atop Super Bowl 2027 odds at +550, followed by the Bills and Ravens at +1000 and the defending champion Seahawks at +1100.
The Rams’ +550 price implies a 15.4% chance of winning, more than double the next-closest contenders. These figures are not fixed: the Seahawks slid from +950 to a co-third-place position at +1100 after the Rams’ trade for Garrett, and the Ravens moved from +1000 to +1100 in response.
A separate offshore board (BetOnline/Bovada, August 10, 2026) prices the Rams at +475, ahead of the Ravens at +1200 and the Texans at +2500 — a reminder that Super Bowl futures prices vary by several hundred points from one sportsbook to another and should not be treated as a single, fixed number.
Sportsbook Odds vs. Prediction-Market Odds
Sportsbook odds and prediction-market odds measure the same underlying question — which team will win — but price it differently. Sportsbooks such as DraftKings, FanDuel, and BetMGM express odds as American moneyline prices (for example, +550), which embed a built-in profit margin known as the vig.
Prediction markets such as Kalshi and Polymarket instead trade contracts priced as a percentage, where the price reflects a live, tradable probability rather than a bookmaker’s line.
On Kalshi’s “Pro Football Champion” market, the Rams and Bills are the current front-runners, and Polymarket’s parallel “Super Bowl Champion” market shows the Rams trading around 16% with the Bills close behind.
How Implied Probability Works
Implied probability converts betting odds into a percentage chance of winning. For a positive American moneyline price such as +550, the formula is 100 ÷ (100 + 550), which equals 15.4%.
This calculation typically overstates every team’s true chance because sportsbooks build in a profit margin, called the vig or juice. Adding up all 32 teams’ implied probabilities on a single sportsbook’s board totals roughly 123%, not 100% — the extra 23 percentage points represent the house’s built-in edge, and stripping that margin out across a six-book consensus moves the Rams to about 13.2% and the Bills to roughly 7.4%.
How to Bet on Super Bowl 2027: A Beginner’s Guide
Betting on Super Bowl 2027 typically involves one of three core bet types — the moneyline, the point spread, and the total (over/under) — plus a much larger menu of proposition, or “prop,” bets once the two participating teams are set in January 2027.
This section does not provide specific staking, unit-sizing, or bankroll advice, since that depends on individual financial circumstances.
Moneyline, Point Spread and Over/Under
- Moneyline: A bet on which team wins outright, with no regard to the margin of victory. Odds are typically higher for the underdog and lower for the favorite.
- Point spread: A bet on the margin of victory. The favorite must win by more than the posted spread, while the underdog can lose by less than the spread (or win outright) to cover.
- Over/under (total): A bet on whether the combined final score of both teams will land above or below a number set by the sportsbook.
Prop Bets Explained
Prop bets are wagers on outcomes within the game that do not depend on the final score, such as which player scores the first touchdown, the length of the national anthem, or the outcome of the opening coin toss.
Super Bowl prop-bet menus are typically the largest of any single sporting event in the United States, frequently including hundreds of individual markets tied to game action, the broadcast, and the halftime show.
Where Super Bowl Betting Is Legal
Legal, regulated sports betting on Super Bowl LXI is available in most U.S. states through licensed operators such as DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, and Caviar-style regional books, subject to each state’s individual gambling laws.
Kalshi operates prediction-market contracts on the Super Bowl through direct bank-account linking in states including California, Texas, and Florida, under a different regulatory framework than traditional sportsbooks.
Availability, minimum age, and permitted bet types vary by state; residents should confirm current legal status in their own jurisdiction before wagering.
Super Bowl 2027 Halftime Show: Confirmed Details and Leading Candidates
No performer had been officially confirmed for the Super Bowl LXI halftime show as of August 18, 2026. SeatGeek’s ticketing page for the 2027 Super Bowl confirms that a headlining artist has not yet been announced. Apple Music is expected to continue as the show’s sponsor, a role it has held since Super Bowl LVII in 2023.
How the NFL and Roc Nation Choose the Halftime Performer
The Super Bowl halftime performer is selected by Roc Nation, the entertainment company founded by Jay-Z, which has held that role since 2019.
Super Bowl executive producer Jesse Collins has said the final decision belongs to Jay-Z personally, and that Roc Nation has consistently delivered strong choices since taking over the show.
Headliners chosen under Roc Nation’s tenure include Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Rihanna and Usher.
The NFL typically announces the halftime performer about three months before the game, which for a February 14, 2027 kickoff points to an announcement around November 2026, though confirmed leaks sometimes precede the official reveal by several weeks.
Speculated Performers for Super Bowl LXI
Because no performer is confirmed, the names below reflect media and prediction-market speculation only, not an announcement. Taylor Swift remains the most-discussed candidate in press coverage, having never performed a Super Bowl halftime show despite her prominence.
On prediction markets tracking the halftime show specifically, Miley Cyrus is the current early favorite, ahead of Sabrina Carpenter and BTS.
Other names circulating in entertainment coverage include Jack White, following renewed public attention after his White Stripes bandmate era was honored at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and Doechii, coming off multiple Grammy wins including Best Rap Album.
Additional candidates mentioned in coverage include Megan Thee Stallion and A$AP Rocky, both signed to Jay-Z’s Roc Nation label.
Whoever performs will follow two record-setting shows in a row. Kendrick Lamar’s 2025 performance was widely praised as one of the most culturally impactful halftime shows in Super Bowl history, and the typical modern halftime set runs about 14 minutes with elaborate staging and guest appearances.
Halftime Show Viewership Records
| Halftime Show | Year | Headliner | Average Viewers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Super Bowl LVIII | 2024 | Usher | 129.3 million |
| Super Bowl LIX | 2025 | Kendrick Lamar | 133.5 million (all-time halftime record) |
| Super Bowl LX | 2026 | Bad Bunny | 128.2 million |
Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX halftime show averaged 128.2 million viewers, ranking as the fourth-highest halftime audience ever, behind Kendrick Lamar’s record 133.5 million in 2025, Michael Jackson’s 133.4 million in 1993, and Usher’s 129.3 million in 2024.
Bad Bunny’s show also became the most-watched Spanish-language Super Bowl halftime performance in history.
Super Bowl 2027 Tickets: Prices and How to Buy
The NFL does not operate a public box office or on-sale date for Super Bowl tickets.
There is no public on-sale date, and tickets reach fans through four channels: On Location, the league’s official hospitality provider; the NFL Ticket Exchange by Ticketmaster, the official resale marketplace; verified secondary marketplaces such as StubHub, Vivid Seats, SeatGeek, Gametime, and TickPick; and team allocations distributed to each conference champion.
Each conference champion receives 17.5% of total stadium capacity and must reserve at least 35% of that allotment for fans, typically distributed through a season-ticket-holder lottery in early February.
Historical Super Bowl Ticket Prices, 2019–2026
| Super Bowl | Year | City | Cheapest Listed Ticket | Average Resale Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LIII | 2019 | Atlanta | $2,720 | $4,636 |
| LIV | 2020 | Miami | $4,975 | $6,414 (StubHub) / $9,031 (SeatGeek) |
| LVIII | 2024 | Las Vegas | $6,640 | $12,240 |
| LX | 2026 | Santa Clara | $4,169–$4,840 (varies by platform) | Not disclosed as a single average |
| LXI | 2027 | Inglewood | ~$5,135 (speculative; teams not yet known) | Not yet established |
Ahead of Super Bowl LIII in 2019, the average StubHub ticket price was $4,636, with the cheapest listed ticket at $2,720. For Super Bowl LIV in 2020, the average StubHub price was $6,414 and the cheapest ticket $4,975, while SeatGeek’s average ran higher at $9,031.
Twelve days before Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas, SeatGeek listed a $6,640 get-in price and a $12,240 average — a 38% jump from the prior year — with the priciest single seat exceeding $62,000.
Three days before Super Bowl LX in 2026, the cheapest single seat ranged from $4,169 on Vivid Seats to $4,840 on Ticketmaster across platforms, while the most expensive seat reached $30,751 on StubHub for a spot behind Seattle’s bench.
Speculative Super Bowl LXI listings currently start around $5,135, though no broker is selling a confirmed seat yet since the two participating teams remain unknown.
This pricing pattern is not linear or guaranteed to repeat: 2027 marks a notable historical milestone independent of price. Super Bowl LXI falls 60 years after Super Bowl I, which was played at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in 1967.
Four Ways to Get a Verified Ticket
- On Location: The NFL’s official hospitality provider, and currently the only route offering a guaranteed seat before the two teams are determined.
- NFL Ticket Exchange by Ticketmaster: The league’s official resale marketplace; Ticketmaster has confirmed that verified single tickets for Super Bowl LXI have not yet been released by the NFL.
- Verified resale marketplaces: Platforms including StubHub, Vivid Seats, SeatGeek, Gametime and TickPick, which currently list speculative broker inventory and will carry confirmed seats after the conference championship games.
- Team allocations: Seats distributed to each conference champion’s season-ticket holders through a lottery process.
Three Ticket-Buying Windows
- Now through January 2027: Listings reflect speculation on which teams will play, offering the widest selection but the least price certainty and some delivery risk.
- February 1–7, 2027: Real inventory enters the market once the conference championship games are decided; prices typically spike immediately after, then begin easing.
- The final 72 hours before kickoff: Historically the cheapest buying window by a wide margin, though this is not guaranteed every year.
How to Watch Super Bowl 2027: TV, Streaming and Radio
Super Bowl 2027 will air on ESPN and ABC, with additional Spanish-language coverage and streaming options. Streaming access will be available through ESPN’s direct-to-consumer service, Disney+, NFL+, and Hulu.
This marks ESPN’s first Super Bowl telecast and ABC’s first since Super Bowl XL in February 2006.
Why ESPN and ABC Are Broadcasting Super Bowl LXI
ESPN and ABC are broadcasting Super Bowl LXI because of the NFL’s rotating national media-rights structure, which added ESPN as a Super Bowl broadcast partner for the first time.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell stated that the league was excited to bring the Super Bowl back to Los Angeles for the second time in five years and called SoFi Stadium’s earlier hosting of Super Bowl LVI an outstanding effort.
ESPN’s plans for Super Bowl LXI include a week-long broadcast and fan-experience hub on Santa Monica Beach beginning Monday, February 8, 2027, serving as the network’s central content base for the entire Super Bowl week.
The game will also feature a ManningCast alternate broadcast on ESPN2, hosted by Peyton and Eli Manning. Joe Buck has publicly described Super Bowl LXI as “the biggest day in ESPN history.”
Super Bowl 2027 Commercials: Record-Setting Ad Sales
Advertising inventory for Super Bowl LXI sold out earlier than any prior Super Bowl.
Disney disclosed on a quarterly earnings call that it had completely sold out its Super Bowl LXI advertising inventory more than half a year before the game, an unusually early sellout for the industry’s most valuable annual ad slot.
The sellout came about a month earlier than NBC achieved for Super Bowl LX and roughly three months ahead of Fox’s pace for Super Bowl LIX.
Fifty-eight brands across 34 different categories purchased time during the game, including nine brands advertising in the Super Bowl for the first time.
Pricing for a 30-second commercial in Super Bowl LXI has not been officially disclosed, but reporting from media buyers gives a reasonably narrow range.
Media buyers place the going rate for a 30-second unit between $8.5 million and $9 million, down from Disney’s initial ask of as much as $10 million.
This tracks with recent Super Bowl ad-cost history: a 30-second spot in Super Bowl LX reached a record $10 million for late buyers, up from roughly $8 million the prior year.
Los Angeles’s Three-Event Decade: World Cup, Super Bowl and Olympics
Super Bowl 2027 sits at the midpoint of an unusual three-event stretch for the Los Angeles region.
The NFL is sandwiching Super Bowl LXI between the 2026 FIFA World Cup, for which Los Angeles is one of 16 North American host cities, and the 2028 Summer Olympic Games, giving the region a rare run of three mega sporting events inside roughly two years.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has noted that Los Angeles will also host flag football as a new sport at the 2028 Summer Olympics.
This sequencing is unusual: the league had previously considered an earlier Super Bowl date for Los Angeles but delayed it to 2027 specifically because of the city’s existing commitments to other major events.
Super Bowl History and Context for LXI
Recent Super Bowl Champions
| Super Bowl | Year | Champion | Score | Venue |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LVIII | 2024 | Kansas City Chiefs | 25–22 (OT) over San Francisco 49ers | Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas |
| LIX | 2025 | Philadelphia Eagles | 40–22 over Kansas City Chiefs | Caesars Superdome, New Orleans |
| LX | 2026 | Seattle Seahawks | 29–13 over New England Patriots | Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara |
The Seattle Seahawks won Super Bowl LX on Sunday, February 8, 2026, defeating the New England Patriots 29-13. It was Seattle’s second championship, following its first Super Bowl win in Super Bowl XLVIII in 2014 over the Denver Broncos.
Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III was named Super Bowl LX MVP after rushing for 135 yards on 27 carries, an outcome prediction markets had priced at only 8.1% before kickoff.
Because the Seahawks enter the 2026 season as defending champions, they are automatically part of the Super Bowl LXI contender conversation, though defending a title is historically difficult in the modern NFL.
Super Bowl Viewership Records, 2024–2026
| Super Bowl | Year | Average Viewers | Peak Viewers | Measurement Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LVIII | 2024 | 123.7 million | Not separately reported | Panel-only Nielsen measurement |
| LIX | 2025 | 127.7 million (all-time record) | Not separately reported | Most-watched U.S. telecast ever |
| LX | 2026 | 125.6 million (2nd all-time) | 137.8 million | First Super Bowl under Nielsen’s Big Data + Panel method |
Super Bowl LIX drew a record 127.7 million viewers on Fox in 2025, making it the most-watched Super Bowl and the largest single-network telecast in U.S. history.
Super Bowl LX drew 125.6 million viewers in Nielsen’s final count, just short of that record, while setting an all-time peak-viewership mark of 137.8 million between 7:45 and 8:00 p.m. ET during the second quarter.
Nielsen’s Big Data + Panel methodology, officially rolled out in September 2025, was used for the first time to measure a Super Bowl with Super Bowl LX.
Because Super Bowl viewership has exceeded 123 million in each of the last three years, Super Bowl LXI enters 2027 with a reasonable statistical basis for another audience above 120 million, though the final number will depend heavily on which two teams qualify.
Super Bowl 2027 Watch Parties and Squares Pools
A Super Bowl squares pool is a common watch-party format that does not require football expertise to play. Participants purchase individual squares on a 10-by-10 grid, one axis assigned to each team; after all squares are sold, organizers randomly assign the digits 0 through 9 to each row and column.
A square wins when the last digit of each team’s score matches its row and column number, typically checked at the end of each quarter and at the final score.
Because assignment happens after purchase, no skill or football knowledge affects the outcome, which is part of why the format remains popular for mixed-experience gatherings during the Super Bowl broadcast window.
