When is Super Bowl LXI?

Mark your calendars now! February 14th, 2027, is Valentine’s Day, and you’ll want to start planning now. Trust us, you don’t want to end up stuck sleeping on a messy couch – like the one with guacamole still on it from the football game – if you forget!

The Seattle Seahawks won Super Bowl LX thanks to a dominant defensive performance, highlighted by six sacks against the New England Patriots.

Where will Super Bowl LXI be played?

We’re back at SoFi Stadium! This marks the second time the Super Bowl will be held at the home of the Los Angeles Rams and Chargers in Inglewood. The first was Super Bowl LVI after the 2021 season, where the Rams won the championship on their home field, defeating the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20.

Super Bowl LXI will be held at SoFi Stadium in 2027, marking the fifth anniversary of the Rams’ Super Bowl victory at the same location.

What channel will Super Bowl LXI be on?

You can watch the Super Bowl on ESPN and ABC. Joe Buck and Troy Aikman are expected to call the game – it will be their seventh Super Bowl broadcast together since joining ESPN in 2022. This marks ESPN’s first time broadcasting the Super Bowl, and it’s the first time the game will be shown on ABC since Super Bowl XL after the 2005 season, which featured Al Michaels and John Madden.

NFL viewership has been strong all season, which is encouraging news heading into Sunday’s game between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots.

Which teams will play in Super Bowl LXI?

Okay, so if you’re asking me who’s going to make a run for the Super Bowl, I’m putting my money on the Rams and Chargers, no question! The Rams were so close this year, and with Matthew Stafford returning, they’re definitely contenders. Don’t count out the Seahawks making a comeback, and you always have to watch out for teams like the Eagles and 49ers. Over in the AFC, the Patriots will have their hands full. I think the Broncos and Bills are looking strong, and honestly, the Texans could surprise some people. The Chargers are always a possibility too, of course.

Rams

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford had a fantastic 2025 season and has been named the NFL’s Most Valuable Player for the first time in his career.

Who is performing the Super Bowl LXI halftime show?

The Super Bowl halftime show at SoFi Stadium last year was incredibly memorable, featuring a fantastic hip-hop lineup led by Dr. Dre and including Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J. Blige, Eminem, and a surprise appearance by 50 Cent. It will be tough to create a show that’s better than that one.

Maybe this time Guns N’ Roses can headline a tribute to the Sunset Strip hard rock scene?

If the NFL is looking for a really now artist for the Super Bowl halftime show, they could go with Billie Eilish, who’s from Highland Park, or Fuerza Regida out of San Bernardino. Both were huge on Spotify in 2025 – actually, they were right up there with this year’s performer, Bad Bunny, in terms of streams. It just shows how popular they are!
