NFL owners voted Wednesday to award Super Bowl LXI to the Los Angeles area.
The vote took place at the league meetings in Dallas.
“We are very excited to bring the Super Bowl back to Los Angeles for the second time in five years,” NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. “The city did an outstanding job hosting Super Bowl 56 in the incredible SoFi Stadium and we believe that Super Bowl 61 will be even more memorable.”
The 2027 game will be televised by ESPN and ABC. It will be ESPN’s first Super Bowl telecast and the first for ABC since Super Bowl XL in February 2006.
SoFi Stadium, located in Inglewood, Calif., was the site of Super Bowl LVI on Feb. 13, 2022, as the Los Angeles Rams defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20.
Super Bowls I and VII were played at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Five Super Bowls were held at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., most recently Super Bowl XXVII on Jan. 31, 1993.
The current NFL season will conclude with Super Bowl LVIII on Feb. 11, 2024, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Super Bowl LIX will be at the Superdome in New Orleans and Super Bowl LX will take place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.
