FAQ
- When is Super Bowl LXI?
- Sunday, February 14, 2027 — the first Super Bowl ever played on Valentine's Day, and the latest calendar finish to an NFL season so far.
- Where is Super Bowl LXI being played?
- SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, just outside Los Angeles. It is the stadium's second Super Bowl after Super Bowl LVI in 2022, and the ninth hosted in the greater Los Angeles area.
- What time does Super Bowl LXI start?
- The NFL has not announced kickoff yet. Recent Super Bowls have started in the late afternoon Pacific — Super Bowl LX kicked off at 3:30 PM PT. As soon as the time is confirmed it appears at the top of this page, converted to your own timezone automatically.
- How long does the Super Bowl last?
- Usually three and a half to four hours from kickoff to the final whistle — roughly an hour longer than a regular-season game, mostly because of the extended halftime show.
- What time is the Super Bowl LXI halftime show?
- The halftime show starts after the second quarter, typically a little under two hours after kickoff — so the exact moment depends on how the first half unfolds.
- How can I watch Super Bowl LXI?
- In the United States it is set to air on ABC and ESPN, with Spanish-language coverage on Univision and ESPN Deportes, plus streaming through Disney+, Hulu and NFL+. Coverage elsewhere varies by country.
- Why is Super Bowl LXI on Valentine's Day?
- The NFL's move to a 17-game regular season pushed the playoffs deeper into February, and the 2026 season starts unusually late because Labor Day falls on September 7 — the latest date it can. That lands the game on February 14, and on Presidents' Day weekend for the first time.
