Quick Answer
Super Bowl LXI is played February 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California — the stadium's second Super Bowl since it opened, following Super Bowl LVI in 2022.
When
Feb 14, 2027 (Super Bowl Week runs the preceding 7-9 days)
Where
SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, California (Los Angeles metro area)
Est. Daily Budget
$350–$600 USD (mid-range)
When to Book
Book LA hotels as early as possible — even outside downtown/Inglewood, Super Bowl week absorbs hotel inventory across the entire metro area and prices climb steadily the closer it gets, regardless of whether you have a game ticket.
SoFi Stadium hosting its second Super Bowl in five years means the logistics are relatively well understood — this isn't a first-time host city figuring things out. What that also means: locals and hospitality operators already know exactly how much a Super Bowl weekend is worth, and price accordingly. Inglewood itself is a fairly low-key LA neighborhood outside game week; expect that to change completely for about ten days around February 14.
Unlike a multi-week tournament, a Super Bowl trip is really a Super Bowl Week trip — the game itself is one Sunday evening, but the surrounding week (Opening Night, the NFL Experience fan festival, and a dense parallel calendar of parties and pop-up events across LA) is where most visitors without a game ticket actually spend their time.
How Much Does a Trip Cost?
This is the most expensive event in this guide on a per-day basis — not because LA itself is unusually costly, but because Super Bowl week hotel demand spikes across the entire metro area, not just near the stadium.
| Budget Tier | Daily Cost (USD) | Accommodation | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Budget | $150 – $220 | Budget hotel/hostel outside Inglewood | Excludes game ticket; fast-casual dining, Metro rail/rideshare |
| Mid-Range | $350 – $600 | 3-4 star hotel in greater LA | Excludes game ticket; restaurant dining, rideshare transport |
| Luxury | $900 – $3,000+ | Upscale hotel near Inglewood or premium LA area | Excludes game ticket, which trades on a highly variable resale market |
Game tickets are a separate line item entirely
Super Bowl tickets are not sold at a fixed public price the way most sports tickets are — they move almost entirely through the resale/secondary market and NFL-affiliated packages, with prices that fluctuate based on the matchup and can run from roughly $5,000 to well over $50,000 for premium seating. We're deliberately not putting a number on this because it changes constantly and depends entirely on which teams qualify — treat any specific price you see months out as speculative.
When to Book
Booking Timeline
- Hotels: Book now, even a full year out, if you're planning to attend Super Bowl Week regardless of whether you have a game ticket — LA-wide hotel inventory tightens dramatically as the date approaches.
- Flights: Watch fares into LAX, Burbank (BUR), and Long Beach (LGB) — spreading your search across all three LA-area airports often beats LAX alone during high-demand weeks.
- Game tickets: If you want to attend the game itself, decide your budget ceiling early and monitor the resale market — prices are highly volatile and typically peak in the final week once the two competing teams are known.
Where to Stay
Near SoFi Stadium (Inglewood/El Segundo)
Closest to the action and to the NFL Experience fan festival, but hotel inventory here is limited and the first to sell out and surge in price. Good if minimizing gameday travel time matters more to you than cost.
Downtown LA or Santa Monica
More hotel options and a genuine LA experience outside game week, roughly 20-40 minutes from Inglewood depending on traffic — which, during Super Bowl week, can be significant. Budget real time for the drive on gameday.
What Else to Do
Beyond the Game
- NFL Experience: The league's official interactive fan festival typically runs the week before the game at the LA Convention Center — usually the single best free/low-cost way to be part of Super Bowl Week without a game ticket.
- Griffith Observatory & the Hollywood Sign: Classic LA, and a good half-day if you need a break from the Super Bowl circus.
- Santa Monica Pier & beaches: A straightforward, low-key contrast to the stadium-area intensity.
- Downtown Arts District: LA's best concentration of independent restaurants and galleries, and generally cheaper than the areas immediately around SoFi.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How much do Super Bowl LXI tickets cost?
There's no fixed price — tickets trade on the resale market and typically range from roughly $5,000 to well over $50,000 depending on seating and how close to the game you buy, and the price shifts significantly once the two competing teams are confirmed. Anyone quoting a precise number a year out is guessing.
Do I need a game ticket to experience Super Bowl Week in LA?
No — the NFL Experience fan festival, Opening Night, and a wide calendar of parties and pop-up events across the city are open to visitors without a game ticket, and for many people that's the more affordable and honestly more fun way to experience Super Bowl Week.
Where should I stay if I don't want to deal with Super Bowl traffic?
Staying near SoFi Stadium in Inglewood minimizes gameday travel but means paying peak rates for limited inventory. Staying further out (Santa Monica, Downtown LA) usually costs less and gives you a more normal LA trip, at the cost of a longer — and on gameday, potentially very slow — drive to the stadium.
