A look at the next several Super Bowl locations.

Super Bowl LXI will be played in February of 2027 to cap off the 2026 NFL season. It's slated to take place at Los Angeles, Calif.'s SoFi Stadium, the home of both the Chargers and Rams.

While no one has any idea as to how good the game will be, being named a host city for the Super Bowl is a big honor and something of an economic boon. It's the single most popular sporting event in America, after all, and one of the biggest in the entire world. Tens of thousands of fans will flock to the greater Santa Clara area as the February 8 kickoff nears. Many won't even attend the game, so strong is the draw of being around the Super Bowl. That's not even to mention all the NFL personnel that will be there, from the players on the participating teams to those accompanying commissioner Roger Goodell.

The city will enjoy the prestige of hosting a Super Bowl, as well as all the money that is spent by the massive influx of tourists and NFL employees for the week. On top of it all, it's just a pretty cool thing to do. Cities that host Super Bowls will be remembered for a long time, especially if the hospitality is top-tier.

It is therefore natural to be curious about what cities will next host the Super Bowl. Here you'll find everything you need to know about where and when Super Bowls will be held over the next few years, as well as the selection process behind it all.

Confirmed future Super Bowl locations

The NFL awards a Super Bowl to a host city between three and four years in advance. So, in 2026, we know the locations for the next three Super Bowls in 2027, 2028, and 2029.

YEAR	SUPER BOWL	STADIUM	CITY	DATE	NOTES
2027	Super Bowl LXI	SoFi Stadium	Los Angeles, Calif.	February 14, 2027	Hosted Super Bowl LVI in 2022; Capacity of 70,000; Opened in 2020
2028	Super Bowl LXII	Mercedes-Benz Stadium	Atlanta, Ga.	February 2028	Hosted Super Bowl LIII in 2019; Capacity of 71,000-75,000; Opened in 2017
2029	LXIII	Allegiant Stadium	Las Vegas, Nev.	February 2029	Hosted Super Bowl LVIII in 2024; Capacity of 65,000-72,000+; Opened in 2020

After 2029, there is no set Super Bowl location. So any information about the 2030 Super Bowl and beyond is merely speculative.

Super Bowl 2027 location

The Super Bowl for 2027, set to take place at the end of the 2026 NFL season, will be held at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, Calif. Opened in 2020, it is home to both the Rams and Chargers.

As noted above, SoFi Stadium has a capacity of up to 70,000 fans and according to sofistadium.com, is expandable to up to 100,000. Along with Super Bowl LXI in 2027, SoFi Stadium is set to host six FIFA World Cup matches in '26, the Olympics Opening Ceremonies for LA28, and will be converted into the largest Olympic swimming pool venue in history for the Games.

How and when Super Bowl locations are announced

The process behind picking Super Bowl locations can seem a bit scattershot to the casual fan, as well as when those locations are announced. Here we'll delve into that process as much as we can.

First, the when. Super Bowl locations are usually announced somewhere between three and four years in advance. The announcements often come in concert with big NFL gatherings, like owner's meetings or league meetings. For example, Atlanta was announced as the host city for the 2028 Super Bowl in October of 2024 during the annual fall owners' meetings.

In regards to the how, things have changed recently. Up until 2018, cities were allowed to submit bids to the NFL for the right to host a given Super Bowl. However, after 2018, the rules changed. Instead of cities submitting bids, the league itself approaches eligible cities and gives them the opportunity to host the big game. If the city in question accepts that opportunity, they work together with the NFL to put together a proposal for hosting a Super Bowl. That proposal would include specifics about infrastructure and the stadium itself's ability to host many thousands of fans. The proposal is then submitted to the NFL owners for a vote; if it passes, then that city will officially host a Super Bowl.

Naturally, that begs the question of what makes a city eligible. In 2018 the Minnesota Star Tribune acquired a 153-page document the NFL gave Minneapolis before that year's Super bowl that includes a list of minimum requirements to make any city eligible to host. Those requirements include:

• A stadium with a minimum seating capacity of 70,000
• A domed stadium "if the historical average daily temperature over a 10-year period in the Host Community on the week of the Game is below 50 degrees"
• The stadium provides "at least 6,000 kVA electrical loads within the stadium and 5,200 kVA electrical loads on the site premises." The electrical loads will be used at the NFL's discretion for "broadcasting networks, media, facility operations and team related functions, NFL hospitality functions, pregame ceremonies, and the halftime show"
• A public address and press box sound system
• Locker rooms suited to host up to 65 players for each competing team

Additionally, the prospective host city is required to agree to a number of terms, including providing parking for the NFL at no cost throughout the Super Bowl period, replacing a natural grass or artificial turf field if the league deems it unsuitable to play, and exclusive control over all tickets for the league.

Which city has hosted the most Super Bowls?

A natural follow-up question to all this information is which city has hosted the most Super Bowls. There aren't many options given the NFL (outside of one season) has always given the Super Bowl to cities that reside in temperate climates or cities that have a domed stadium for their NFL teams. If it feels like the Super Bowl is just on rotation with a bunch of warm-weather cities and the occasional dome, well... That's by design, as evidenced by the above requirements.

All that is to say you shouldn't be surprised to hear that Miami and New Orleans have played host to the most Super Bowls. Of the 58 Super Bowls that have occurred, Miami has hosted 11 of them, as has New Orleans. Over a third of all Super Bowls have been held in one of those two cities.

Here's what the breakdown looks like for the five cities that have hosted the most Super Bowls.

CITY	SUPER BOWLS HOSTED
Miami	11
New Orleans	11
Los Angeles metro area	8
Tampa	5
Phoenix metro area	4

Predicting future Super Bowl locations

You now know everything there is to know about how the NFL chooses cities to host Super Bowls and when they announce those cities. So where could the Super Bowl end up next?

It seems very like AT&T Stadium, home of the Cowboys, will get a Super Bowl sooner rather than later. Jerry Jones will push hard for it as he enters his mid-80s and the stadium has more than enough room around it to put on the show the NFL likes to put on.

Additionally, Hard Rock Stadium in Miami should get a Super Bowl bid quite soon. The city is tied for hosting the most Super Bowls in history, as noted above, so it feels like it's only a matter of time before the NFL returns. Both of those seem to be strong candidates for 2030.

Other potential host cities include: Detroit, which has hosted a Super Bowl at Ford Field in the past and recently hosted the NFL draft to great acclaim; the greater Phoenix area at State Farm Stadium, a recent staple in the Super Bowl host rotation; Nashville, since the Titans are in the process of building a new domed stadium slated to open in 2027; and one of the several cities who could potentially get a new domed stadium in the next five years, like Chicago or Buffalo.
