When is Super Bowl 2027?
Sunday, February 14, 2027. The NFL awarded the game to Los Angeles in December 2023, and no Super Bowl has ever been played this late in the calendar.
The previous latest was Super Bowl LVI on February 13, 2022, also at SoFi. A 6:30 PM ET start is the standard window, though the league usually confirms the exact time closer to the game.
Where is Super Bowl 2027?
SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, home of the Rams and Chargers. It opened in September 2020 at a cost of about $5.5 billion and seats 70,240 for NFL games.
This is SoFi’s second Super Bowl. The Rams beat the Bengals 23-20 there in Super Bowl LVI, and LXI is the ninth Super Bowl in the Los Angeles area.
The roof is a translucent canopy with open sides, so rain is not a problem, but the building is not climate controlled.
What Channel is Super Bowl 2027 on?
ABC and ESPN share the game. It is ABC’s first Super Bowl since February 2006 and the first Super Bowl ESPN has ever produced, so Disney is spreading it across several feeds.
| Feed | Where |
|---|---|
| Main broadcast | ABC and ESPN, with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman |
| Sideline | Lisa Salters and Laura Rutledge |
| ManningCast | ESPN2, with Peyton and Eli Manning |
| Field Pass with The Pat McAfee Show | ESPNU |
| Playbook with Next Gen Stats | NFL Network |
| Streaming | Disney+ and the ESPN app |
| Mobile | NFL+ |
| Spanish | ESPN Deportes and Univision |
Broadcast details were checked against ESPN and NFL announcements on November 10, 2026.
ABC is free over the air, so an antenna gets the full game. Without cable, the ESPN feeds stream through ESPN Unlimited, and any live TV service with your local ABC station works too. For every other option, see where to watch NFL games.
One catch for Spanish viewers: the Univision broadcast will not stream on ViX.
Watching Outside the United States
- United Kingdom: Sky Sports and NFL Game Pass on DAZN. Channel 5 aired Super Bowl LX free, but its 2027 plans are not confirmed. More in how to watch NFL in the UK.
- Ireland: Virgin Media Television, free.
- Germany: RTL and RTL+.
- Australia: Seven and 7plus free, plus Disney+.
- Canada: Not announced yet. CTV, TSN and RDS carried Super Bowl LX.
Advertisers are already locked in. Disney sold out its Super Bowl inventory by August, with 58 brands buying time, and 30-second spots reportedly went for $8 million to $10 million.

How Do Teams Reach Super Bowl LXI?
Fourteen teams make the playoffs, 7 per conference. Only the top seed in each conference gets a bye, and every round is single elimination.
| Round | Dates |
|---|---|
| Regular season ends | Sunday, January 10, 2027 |
| Wild Card Weekend | January 16 to 18, 2027 |
| Divisional Round | January 23 and 24, 2027 |
| Conference Championships | Sunday, January 31, 2027 |
| Super Bowl LXI | Sunday, February 14, 2027 |
Higher seeds host the first three rounds. The full bracket and TV for each game are on the NFL playoff schedule.
Who Plays in Super Bowl 2027?
Nobody knows until January 31. After Week 9, no unbeaten teams are left: the Bills and 49ers lead at 7-1, with the Broncos and Bears at 7-2.
Seattle is the defending champion after beating New England 29-13 in Super Bowl LX. Kenneth Walker III was MVP, and Jason Myers kicked a Super Bowl record 5 field goals.
A home game at SoFi looks unlikely. The Rams are 5-4, and the Chargers are the league’s only winless team at 0-8. Weekly contender updates are on the Super Bowl LXI page.
Who is Performing at the Super Bowl 2027 Halftime Show?
Jay-Z. Apple Music revealed him during Monday Night Football on October 26, 2026, and the NFL followed with its official announcement.
The reveal came about a month later than usual, since Usher, Kendrick Lamar and Bad Bunny were all named in September. Guest performers and the national anthem singer have not been announced.
Expect the show around 8:00 PM to 8:30 PM ET. The Super Bowl Halftime Show 2027 guide covers timing, channels and past shows.
How Can You Get Super Bowl 2027 Tickets?
Super Bowl tickets never go on general sale. The NFL splits them among the two teams, the host club, the rest of the league and partners.
On Location is the official hospitality provider, with packages that include pregame parties and the Studio 61 concerts at the Hollywood Palladium on February 12 and 13. Ticketmaster is the NFL’s official ticketing partner for resale.
Prices and safe-buying tips are in the Super Bowl 2027 tickets guide.
What Happens During Super Bowl Week in Los Angeles?
- ESPN Beach: ESPN and ABC broadcast from Santa Monica Beach next to the Pier, starting Monday, February 8, with a free fan area on the pier.
- Pro Bowl Games: Not on the calendar. The NFL announced on August 26, 2026, that it is dropping the Pro Bowl game.
- Presidents’ Day: Monday, February 15, is a federal holiday, so many fans get the day after off.
