Here is everything you need to know about Super Bowl 2027, including the date, time, location, halftime show, how to watch in the US and UK, and the road to the big game.
When Is Super Bowl 2027?
Super Bowl 2027 is on Sunday, February 14, 2027. Officially, it is Super Bowl LXI, or Super Bowl 61, the championship game of the 2026 NFL season.
This is the first time the Super Bowl has fallen on Valentine’s Day. It also falls on Presidents Day weekend, since Presidents Day is Monday, February 15, 2027. That gives many fans in the US a long weekend to recover.
The exact kickoff time has not been confirmed yet. In recent years, the game has kicked off at about 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time, or 3:30 p.m. Pacific Time.
Where Is Super Bowl 2027?
The game will be played at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, in the Los Angeles area. SoFi Stadium is home to two NFL teams, the Los Angeles Rams and the Los Angeles Chargers.
The stadium also hosted Super Bowl LVI in February 2022, when the Rams beat the Cincinnati Bengals to win the championship at home. Super Bowl 2027 will be the ninth Super Bowl held in the Los Angeles area, more than almost anywhere else.
The NFL picked SoFi Stadium to host the game in December 2023.
Super Bowl 2027 Halftime Show: Jay-Z
Jay-Z will headline the Apple Music Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show. It will be his first time performing at the Super Bowl in any role.
His company, Roc Nation, has helped produce the halftime show since 2019, choosing performers such as The Weeknd, Rihanna, Usher and Kendrick Lamar. This time, Jay-Z chose himself.
“From Reasonable Doubt to standing on the Super Bowl Halftime stage, this has been a journey,” Jay-Z said, referring to his 1996 debut album.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said, “I couldn’t be more excited for fans around the world.”
No special guests have been announced yet. Fans are already guessing who might join him, with many hoping for an appearance from his wife, Beyoncé, who headlined the halftime show in 2013.

Could a Los Angeles Team Play at Home?
It has happened before. The Rams won Super Bowl LVI at SoFi Stadium in 2022, one year after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers became the first team to win a Super Bowl in their home stadium.
If the Rams or Chargers reach Super Bowl 2027, they would play at their own stadium, although the game is still treated as a neutral site, and each team gets the same share of tickets.
How Much Are Super Bowl 2027 Tickets?
Super Bowl tickets are among the most expensive in sports. Face value tickets mostly go to the two teams, sponsors and the NFL, while most fans buy on the resale market.
In recent years, the cheapest resale tickets have often cost several thousand dollars, and prices usually rise once the two teams are known. Always buy from official or trusted sellers, as fake tickets are common around big events.
Super Bowl 2027 Commercials
Super Bowl ads are a show of their own. Disney has reportedly been charging an average of about $8.5 million to $10 million for a 30 second commercial during Super Bowl 2027, making it one of the most expensive ad slots in the world.
Many brands release their ads online in the days before the game, so fans can watch them early.
Super Bowl on Valentine’s Day: What It Means
A Valentine’s Day Super Bowl creates a choice for some couples between a romantic dinner and a game day party. Restaurants and bars expect to be busy either way, and many are planning special game day dinners.
For businesses, the timing could mean big sales of both chocolates and chicken wings. Americans usually eat well over a billion chicken wings during Super Bowl weekend.
