February 14, 2027 — Super Bowl LXI returns to SoFi in Inglewood
Super Bowl LXI is locked for Sunday, February 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium — home of the Rams and Chargers. The NFL picked the venue in December 2023; hotels and flights should treat the Sunday as fixed even while kickoff minutes stay TBA.
This is SoFi’s second Super Bowl (after LVI in 2022) and the ninth championship game in greater Los Angeles. Teams stay blank until the conference title games crown both sides.
Confirmed: Feb 14 SoFi / ABC–ESPN window — not LX Santa Clara, not a kickoff minute yet, not a named matchup
Confirmed: Sunday, February 14, 2027; SoFi Stadium, Inglewood; second SoFi Super Bowl; first Super Bowl on Valentine’s Day and on Presidents’ Day weekend (Monday, February 15); ABC/ESPN English simulcast planned. Not confirmed: final kickoff minute or which two clubs. Fake “LXI moves to Las Vegas” or “same as LX at Levi’s” stubs invent a corridor the league already closed.
From LX in the Bay to LXI under the Inglewood roof
- Feb 8 2026 — Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara (previous).
- Dec 2023 — NFL owners approve SoFi for LXI.
- Feb 14 2027 — Super Bowl LXI at SoFi (this countdown).
- Feb 15 2027 — Presidents’ Day (federal Monday after the game).
- Postseason runway — AFC/NFC Championship Sundays set the matchup first.
Broadcast and calendar details that keep this off generic “big game in February” filler
- Date/venue: Sunday, February 14, 2027 — SoFi Stadium, Inglewood.
- TV: ABC + ESPN English simulcast; first ABC Super Bowl since XL (2006).
- ESPN: first English Super Bowl; ManningCast expected on ESPN2.
- Calendar collision: Valentine’s Day + Presidents’ Day weekend.
- Sibling trap: Super Bowl LX (Feb 8 2026, Santa Clara) is a different Roman numeral.
ABC’s first Super Bowl since 2006 — and ESPN’s first English Super Bowl — land on the same SoFi Sunday
The NFL’s media rotation finally hands the championship to the Disney window: ABC has not carried a Super Bowl since XL after the 2005 season, and ESPN has never aired an English Super Bowl in the United States. LXI is planned as a simulcast between the sister networks, with a ManningCast alt-feed expected on ESPN2.
Pair that broadcast first with SoFi’s second title game and a Valentine’s / Presidents’ Day weekend collision, and February 14 stops reading like “another February Sunday.” It is a TV-cycle debut on a venue rematch — kickoff minute still TBA, teams still blank.
