NFL owners voted Wednesday to award the 2027 Super Bowl to Los Angeles and SoFi Stadium, the home of the Rams and Chargers, commissioner Roger Goodell announced.
“We are very excited to bring the Super Bowl back to Los Angeles for the second time in five years,” Goodell said in a statement, per ESPN. “The city did an outstanding job hosting Super Bowl LVI in the incredible SoFi Stadium, and we believe that Super Bowl LXI will be even more memorable.”
It will be the second time SoFi Stadium has hosted the Super Bowl since opening in 2020. The $5-billion venue was home to the Rams’ triumph over the Cincinnati Bengals in February 2022.
The 2027 Super Bowl will coincide with the 60th anniversary of Super Bowl I at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in 1967.
L.A. will host a remarkable three-year sporting stretch, with the city serving as one of the homes of the 2026 World Cup before hosting the Olympic Games in summer 2028.
Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium and Tennessee’s new stadium, which is set to open in 2027, were rumored to be other contenders for the 2027 Super Bowl.
Super Bowl LVIII will be held in Las Vegas on Feb. 11, while New Orleans will host the big game in 2025, followed by San Francisco in 2026.
