LXI is locked to SoFi on February 14 — the hour still comes later
Super Bowl LXI is scheduled for Sunday, February 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. The venue and date are the planning anchors for hotels, flights, and watch parties. Exact kickoff usually lands in a late-afternoon Pacific window and is confirmed closer to the season — plan the Sunday first, refine the minute later.
Same calendar day as Valentine's — different event, different page
February 14, 2027 is both Super Bowl Sunday and Valentine's Day for the first time in Super Bowl history. Dinner reservations and office pools will collide in the same 24 hours. This countdown is for the game; the romance holiday has its own page if that is what you are timing.
What to lock before kickoff week
- Date: Sunday, February 14, 2027 (LXI).
- Venue: SoFi Stadium, Inglewood — LA-area lodging fills early.
- Kickoff: wait for the league’s posted window before setting DVR or travel buffers.
- Office pools / catering: treat the Sunday as fixed even if the hour shifts by 30–60 minutes.
LXI is the first Super Bowl ever scheduled on Valentine's Day
Previous championship Sundays avoided February 14. In 2027 the NFL calendar and Valentine’s Day land on the same civil date — a one-off collision that reshuffles restaurant demand, florist delivery windows, and watch-party invites more than it changes how the game is played.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this release date.
1When is Super Bowl LXI?
Sunday, February 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. That is the locked calendar date for Super Bowl LXI — kickoff clock time usually publishes closer to the season.
2Why is Super Bowl 2027 on Valentine's Day?
The NFL sets the Super Bowl on a February Sunday after the conference championships. In 2027 that Sunday lands on February 14 — the first time the championship and Valentine's Day share a civil date. The overlap is calendar math, not a league holiday rebrand.
3Is the kickoff time already official?
Treat the date as locked and the hour as provisional until the league posts the final window. Local TV listings and stadium gates follow that later announcement — this countdown tracks the Sunday, not a minute-perfect start.
4Is Super Bowl Sunday a federal holiday?
No. Federal offices stay open the Friday before and the Monday after unless another holiday applies. Time off is employer- or school-dependent; the game itself is not a statutory day off.
