Who Plays in Super Bowl 2027
The matchup is set after the conference championships on January 31, 2027. Through Week 7, the Minnesota Vikings are the last unbeaten team at 6-0. San Francisco fell to 6-1 with a loss to Atlanta, and Kansas City dropped to 5-1 after a 20-3 defeat in Seattle.
Seattle is the defending champion after beating New England 29-13 in Super Bowl LX on February 8, 2026. Kenneth Walker III was MVP, and Jason Myers kicked a Super Bowl record five field goals.
SoFi Stadium is home to both Los Angeles teams. The Rams are 3-4 after beating Las Vegas, and the Chargers are still winless. Only Tampa Bay in 2021 and the Rams in 2022 have played a Super Bowl in their home stadium. Both won.
Super Bowl 2027 Halftime Show
The NFL has not officially named the Apple Music Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show headliner as of October 26, 2026.
On October 20, Puck reported that Jay-Z, whose Roc Nation produces the show, had picked himself over Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus. He played two SoFi Stadium concerts on October 23 and 24 but did not confirm the report, and the league has not commented.
The wait is longer than usual. Usher, Kendrick Lamar and Bad Bunny were all announced in September of their show years.
Super Bowl 2027 Tickets
Super Bowl tickets never go on general sale. The NFL splits them between the two competing clubs, the host club, the other 29 teams, league partners and the host committee.
On Location is the official source for Super Bowl LXI ticket and hospitality packages. NFL Ticket Exchange by Ticketmaster is the official resale marketplace.
Prices, the club ticket split and how to avoid resale scams are covered in the Super Bowl 2027 tickets guide.
Super Bowl Week in Los Angeles
The Pro Bowl Games stay in Super Bowl week for a second year, after debuting there in San Francisco in 2026. The flag football showcase is set for Tuesday, February 9, 2027 in Los Angeles on ESPN, a preview of the sport’s Olympic debut at LA28.
ESPN and ABC broadcast from Santa Monica State Beach during the week. Presidents’ Day on Monday, February 15 gives many fans a day off after the game.
FAQ About Super Bowl 2027
What does LXI mean in Super Bowl LXI?

Expect the halftime show near 8:00 PM ET. Halftime usually starts about 90 minutes after the 6:30 PM ET kickoff, and the exact time depends on the pace of the first half.
Is SoFi Stadium indoor or outdoor?
Both, in a way. A translucent canopy covers the field and seats while the sides stay open. Fans are sheltered from rain, but the stadium is not climate controlled. Los Angeles highs in mid February usually reach about 68F.
Is the Monday after Super Bowl 2027 a holiday?
Yes. Presidents’ Day falls on Monday, February 15, 2027, so federal offices, banks and many schools close. It is the first Super Bowl followed by a federal holiday.

The NFL has not named the Super Bowl LXI anthem singer yet. That reveal usually comes in late January or early February. Charlie Puth sang the anthem at Super Bowl LX.
Super Bowl 2027 is locked for February 14 at SoFi Stadium, with a 6:30 PM ET kickoff on ABC, ESPN and Disney Plus. The halftime headliner, anthem singer and both teams are still to come.
