Wednesday, December 13, 2023 at 06:48PM By Barry Janoff
December 13, 2023: The NFL today said Super Bowl LXI would be hosted in Los Angeles in 2027, with the game played in SoFi Stadium. That would end the 2026 season in February 2027.
Super Bowl LVI was held in SoFi Stadium in February 2022.
It will be ESPN's first Super Bowl telecast and ABC's first telecast of the game since Super Bowl XL in February 2006.
“We are very excited to bring the Super Bowl back to Los Angeles for the second time in five years," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said via the league.
“The city did an outstanding job hosting Super Bowl 56 in the incredible SoFi Stadium and we believe that Super Bowl 61 will be even more memorable.”
Los Angeles will have several years hosting global events.
SoFi Stadium will host games during the 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup.
Los Angeles is also the site for the 2028 Summer Olympics.
As part of Super Bowl LXI activities, the greater Los Angeles region will present a slate of events that make up Super Bowl Week, including NFL Honors, Super Bowl Experience, Super Bowl Opening Night and a community program.
The events are expected to take place across Los Angeles, with numerous opportunities for visitors and residents to have memorable experiences leading up to the game.
Super Bowl LXI will be the ninth Super Bowl to be hosted by the greater Los Angeles region, and 2027 will mark 60 years since Super Bowl I was played in the LA Memorial Coliseum in 1967.
According to an independent study from Micronomics, Super Bowl LVI “generated between $234.3 million and $477.5 million for Los Angeles County, including tax revenue to the LA region ranging between $12 million and $22 million.
“These anticipated economic impacts are associated with approximately 2,200 to 4,700 new jobs in the LA region — many in the event production and hospitality sector, as well as contracts for regional businesses.”
“After 29 years, Super Bowl LVI was an amazing event that delivered significant economic and community impact for the Los Angeles region," Kathryn Schloessman, president and CEO of the Los Angeles Sports & Entertainment Commission, said via the group.
“We're thrilled to welcome back the NFL for Super Bowl LXI at SoFi Stadium in 2027 and look forward to building on the foundation we established, providing local diverse businesses the opportunity to compete for contracts, and using the spotlight to benefit the community organizations doing good work in our region."
According to Goodell, “The Los Angeles Rams, the Los Angeles Host Committee and many other outstanding partners will help create an unforgettable week of events culminating in Super Bowl Sunday in 2027 that will celebrate the region as an epicenter of sports, entertainment and culture."
