Super Bowl LXI (2027): date, venue and how to get tickets

Super Bowl LXI date, kickoff and broadcast

The date of Super Bowl LXI is fixed: Sunday 14 February 2027. It is later than in the past largely because the regular season now spans eighteen weeks, and it also falls on the Presidents' Day weekend in the United States, which gives many American fans a long weekend for the trip. The kickoff is traditionally scheduled around 6:30 p.m. Eastern time, which would be 3:30 p.m. in Los Angeles, 5:30 p.m. in Mexico City and 12:30 a.m. on Monday in Paris or Madrid. The NFL confirms the exact time closer to the game, so treat these times as the usual pattern rather than an official announcement. The broadcast is a milestone for the league's media partners. ESPN will produce its first Super Bowl, with ABC carrying the game on broadcast television for the first time since Super Bowl XL in 2006. Disney+ will stream it, and Univision will provide the Spanish-language broadcast. Outside the United States, the game is generally available through local rights holders and the league's international streaming service. For fans watching from Europe, the late kickoff means a long night, and many bars host special screenings of Super Bowl LXI that run well past midnight.

SoFi Stadium, the home of Super Bowl LXI

SoFi Stadium opened in 2020 in Inglewood, a few kilometres from Los Angeles International Airport, as the home of both the Rams and the Chargers. Its translucent roof covers the stands and the field while leaving the sides open, giving an outdoor feel without exposure to rain, and its oval video board hangs above the field. In standard configuration the stadium holds around seventy thousand spectators, and it can be expanded for major events. For Super Bowl LXI, the exact capacity will depend on the media and hospitality installations the league requires, so attendance figures are only known after the game. The stadium sits within the Hollywood Park development, alongside other venues such as the Kia Forum and the Intuit Dome. Parking around the stadium is limited and expensive on major event days, and the league typically sets up specific transport plans for the Super Bowl, including shuttles and designated drop-off zones. Fans should check the official transport information published in the weeks before the game rather than relying on everyday routes.

How to get Super Bowl LXI tickets

Super Bowl tickets are distributed very differently from regular playoff tickets. The league allocates the largest shares to the two participating teams, historically around seventeen and a half percent each, which they distribute mainly to season-ticket holders, often through lotteries. The host teams receive a smaller allocation, the other clubs smaller shares still, and the remainder goes to the league, its partners, sponsors and media. The public lottery for face-value Super Bowl LXI tickets, which required a written application between 1 February and 1 June 2026, is closed. In practice, the main channels left for most fans are the official hospitality packages and the resale market. NFL On Location is the league's official hospitality partner and sells packages that combine a ticket with hospitality, sometimes including pre-game parties, food and drink, and access to special areas. These packages are expensive, but they are guaranteed and can be reserved before the finalists are known through a priority deposit system. The NFL Ticket Exchange, operated by Ticketmaster, is the league's official resale platform, and many other marketplaces also list Super Bowl tickets. When buying, compare total prices including fees, check the seat location and delivery method, and keep all confirmation details.

Super Bowl LXI ticket prices: what last year tells us

The best guide to Super Bowl LXI prices is the published data from Super Bowl LX. According to figures reported by AOL and KTVU, face values for that game ranged from 950 to 8,500 dollars. On the resale market, TicketIQ data reported by KTVU showed that on game day, 8 February 2026, the cheapest available ticket cost 4,951 dollars and the average resale price was 8,131.98 dollars. A month earlier, the average had been around 6,581 dollars, and at the end of January it had fallen to roughly 3,526 dollars, showing how volatile the market is in the final weeks. These figures are not predictions for Super Bowl LXI, but they illustrate the scale and the volatility of prices. The matchup will matter enormously: teams with large travelling fan bases, or a team from Southern California, could push demand higher. Prices often fall in the days immediately after the Conference Championships if supply grows faster than demand, then rise again closer to kickoff, although every year is different.

Super Bowl LXI week in Los Angeles

The Super Bowl is not just a game but a week-long event. In the days before Super Bowl LXI, Los Angeles will host the Super Bowl Experience fan festival, media events, concerts, corporate parties and charity events across the city. Many of these are open to the public, some free and some ticketed, and they offer a way to feel the atmosphere even without a game ticket. The NFL Honors awards show and other league events typically take place during the week, and the Pro Bowl Games are expected earlier in the week, although the venue for 2027 had not been announced. Hotels in Los Angeles are numerous, but prices rise sharply for Super Bowl weekend, especially near Inglewood, Santa Monica, Downtown and around the airport. Booking early with free cancellation is the most common strategy among fans who expect their team to reach the game. Remember that Los Angeles is a large, car-oriented city, and travel times between neighbourhoods can be long, especially on event days.

Getting to SoFi Stadium for Super Bowl LXI

SoFi Stadium is about five kilometres from Los Angeles International Airport. Public transport options in the area include the Metro K Line, with stations in Inglewood within reach of the stadium district, and the LAX/Metro Transit Center, which connects the airport area to the rail network. On major event days, organisers usually add shuttles from selected stations and designated pick-up zones for ride-hailing services. Expect heavy traffic, security perimeters and long walks between drop-off points and the gates, and plan to arrive several hours before kickoff. Security at the Super Bowl is extremely tight. Clear-bag policies apply, and items allowed in other stadiums may be prohibited. Check the official guidance published by the league before the game, keep your mobile ticket accessible and ensure your phone is fully charged, since entry depends on it. After the game, leaving the stadium area can take a long time, so consider staying nearby or planning a late meal before heading back.

Super Bowl LXI FAQ

The questions below cover what fans most often want to know about Super Bowl LXI months before the finalists are decided: the date and kickoff, the stadium, how tickets are distributed and what they might cost. The answers rely on official announcements about the game and venue, on published price data from Super Bowl LX and on the long-standing way the NFL distributes tickets. They also note which details, such as the exact kickoff time and the halftime show, have not been confirmed yet. Because ticket availability and prices change rapidly in the two weeks before the game, keeping an alert active is the easiest way to follow developments, from the announcement of the finalists to changes in resale prices, without checking several sites every day. The answers are updated as soon as the league confirms the kickoff time, the halftime performer or any change to the travel arrangements around the stadium.

How much do Super Bowl LXI tickets cost?

Prices for Super Bowl LXI will only be known once tickets are widely available, but last year's data gives a clear idea. For Super Bowl LX, face values ranged from 950 to 8,500 dollars, while on game day the cheapest resale ticket cost 4,951 dollars and the average resale price reached 8,131.98 dollars, according to TicketIQ figures reported by KTVU. At the end of January 2026 the average had dropped to around 3,526 dollars before climbing again. Hospitality packages from the league's official partner cost more because they include services beyond the seat. Prices for Super Bowl LXI will depend on the finalists, the size of their fan bases and the distance they need to travel. Treat these figures as references, not quotes, and compare live prices from several sellers, always including fees, before making a decision. Prices also differ by section far more than at a regular game, so the cheapest listing may be in the highest corner of the stadium.

Can I still enter the Super Bowl LXI ticket lottery?

No. The NFL's public lottery for face-value Super Bowl tickets traditionally requires a written application sent by mail between 1 February and 1 June of the year before the game, and the window for Super Bowl LXI closed on 1 June 2026. The finalists' season-ticket holders may have access to lotteries run by their teams once the matchup is known, but those are limited to existing members. For other fans, the remaining options are official hospitality packages, which can be reserved in advance, and the resale market, including the league's official exchange. If you are interested in future Super Bowls, the lottery window for the following edition generally opens on 1 February, so it is worth checking the official rules early in the year and sending your application on time. Only one application per household is usually accepted, and winners are drawn at random, typically in the autumn before the game. The odds are very small, but the entry costs nothing beyond postage.
