When is Super Bowl LXI?

Expected on Sunday 14 February 2027 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. The NFL has confirmed the venue; the date follows the league's fixed second-Sunday-in-February slot.

When do hotel prices jump?

Twice. Once when the host city is announced, years out, and then sharply in late January when the two conference champions are known and their fans book.

Can I get to the stadium without a car?

Yes — the Metro K Line to Downtown Inglewood with a shuttle, or the C Line to Hawthorne. It is slow but it is the only option without a parking pass.

Is it worth going without a ticket?

Plenty of people do: the week is a city-wide festival of fan events and parties. The game itself is the most expensive ticket in American sport.

Three or four. Los Angeles traffic makes a short trip exhausting, and the Monday flights out are the worst of the year.

Our verdict

Go: Arrive Friday, leave Monday; the game is one evening of four
Stay: Downtown LA
Book by: When the conference finals are set, in late January 2027

A one-day event that takes a four-day weekend, in a city that cannot be crossed quickly. The hotel market moves twice: once when the host city is known, and violently again when the two finalists are. Book refundable in the autumn and decide in January.

Getting there

LAX is fifteen minutes from SoFi, which sounds convenient until Super Bowl week, when it is the busiest airport weekend in the country. Burbank and Orange County are worth the extra drive.

There is no parking at the stadium without a pass. The Metro K and C Lines reach Hawthorne and Downtown Inglewood, with shuttles from there; allow three hours door to seat on game day.

Fourteen February is also Valentine’s Day, which prices every restaurant in Los Angeles twice. Book dinner when you book the flights.
