Football fans will need to coordinate their Valentine's Day plans in 2027 as the NFL has officially scheduled Super Bowl LXI for February 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
This marks the second time SoFi Stadium will host the NFL's championship game, following Super Bowl LVI in February 2022 when the Los Angeles Rams defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 on their home field, claiming the Lombardi Trophy.
The announcement comes just as Super Bowl LX concluded with the Seattle Seahawks defeating the New England Patriots to claim their second championship in franchise history.
In a significant broadcasting shift, the 2027 Super Bowl will be televised on ESPN and simulcast on ABC, making it ESPN's first Super Bowl broadcast and ABC's first since Super Bowl XL following the 2005 season. Veteran commentators Joe Buck and Troy Aikman are expected to call their seventh Super Bowl together.
