Future Super Bowl Hosts: SoFi Stadium, Mercedes-Benz Stadium On Tap

The confetti is still being picked off the field at Levi’s Stadium following the Seattle Seahawks’ dominant 29-13 win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX, and while it’s not yet clear who will lift the Lombardi Trophy in the years to come, NFL fans can at least count on where that celebration will take place and make their travel plans accordingly.

Next year’s edition of the Big Game will be held at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, while the 2028 edition will be at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Super Bowl LXI will take place on Feb. 14, 2027, the latest date ever for an NFL game, and one day before President’s Day. Super Bowl 62 will be on Feb. 13, 2028, but President’s Day isn’t until Feb. 21.

Both SoFi Stadium and Mercedes-Benz Stadium are relatively new — the former opened in 2020, while the latter opened in 2017 — and both have already hosted a Super Bowl that featured the Los Angeles Rams. SoFi Stadium did so for the Rams’ win over the Bengals in Super Bowl LVI in February 2022, while Mercdes-Benz hosted Super Bowl LIII in 2019 when the Patriots won their sixth and final title of the Tom Brady/Bill Belichick era by beating Los Angeles 13-3.

That win for the Rams in 2022 made them the second NFL team — and second in consecutive years — to win the Super Bowl in its home stadium, following the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ win at Raymond James Stadium in Super Bowl LV.

No sites have been chosen to host the Super Bowl beyond 2028. There is wide expectation that Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas will be awarded Super Bowl LXIII in 2029, which would be five years after that venue opened.

NFL stadiums have to be open for at least two years in order to host a Super Bowl. That rule caused SoFi Stadium to have its Super Bowl debut pushed back from 2021 to ’22 after construction delays pushed the opening of the venue back a year, from 2019 to ’20.

The NFL does not have an official Super Bowl host rotation, and at lest two teams will be or are hoping to open stadiums in the next few years that could put those cities in contention to host the game for the first time, including the Tennessee Titans (scheduled opening of New Nissan Stadium in Nashville: 2027) and Cleveland Browns (projected opening: 2029).
