SoFi Stadium is one of the newest stadiums in the NFL, but it won’t have to wait very long to host its second Super Bowl. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, NFL owners are voting Wednesday to make SoFi Stadium the host of Super Bowl LXI in 2027.
It’ll be the second time SoFi Stadium will host the big game, with the first being Super Bowl LVI in February 2022. The Rams, of course, won that game against the Bengals, becoming just the second team ever to win a Super Bowl in its home stadium. The Buccaneers were the first just one year prior.
SoFi Stadium in Inglewood is considered one of the top stadiums in the NFL and being right next door to the league’s West Coast headquarters, its hardly surprising that the NFL is already bringing the Super Bowl back to Southern California.

The game isn’t for another three-plus years, but can the Rams become the first team ever to win two championships in its home stadium when the time comes in 2027?
Matthew Stafford may not be the quarterback by then, and Aaron Donald will probably be off in retirement, but the Rams have shown they can be contenders every year as long as Sean McVay is there.
