🏟️ SoFi Stadium Super Bowl History

SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California is the selected host venue for Super Bowl LXI in February 2027. It previously hosted Super Bowl LVI in February 2022, where the hometown Los Angeles Rams defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20.

🌴 Greater Los Angeles Milestone

Super Bowl LXI will represent the 9th Super Bowl hosted in the Greater Los Angeles region, which kicked off the tradition with Super Bowl I (1967) and Super Bowl VII at the LA Memorial Coliseum, plus five classic editions at the Rose Bowl.

🏆 Lombardi Contender Methodology

Win probabilities weigh net adjusted offense, defensive pass/run efficiency differentials, and conference playoff seeding leverage. Higher seeds conserve energy with wild card byes, mitigating post-season injury attrition.
