The Super Bowl will return to a well-known location thanks to the NFL.
One of the NFL’s newest venues, SoFi Stadium, won’t have to wait long to host its second Super Bowl. NFL owners will vote on Wednesday to have SoFi Stadium host Super Bowl LXI in 2027, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

The 60th anniversary of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum hosting Super Bowl I in 1967 would fall on the same day as Super Bowl LXI’s return to the greater Los Angeles area.
The big game will take place at SoFi Stadium for the second time this year; the first was Super Bowl LVI in February 2022.
The Rams became only the second franchise in history to win a Super Bowl in their home arena. A year before, the Buccaneers became the first.
Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium is regarded as one of the best NFL venues. The fact that it is directly close to the league’s West Coast offices only serves to improve matters. The Rams have a chance to be strong by then and perhaps have another shot at a ring because the game isn’t for another three or more years.
Before then, names like Aaron Donald and Matthew Stafford might already be far gone.
