What is confirmed
Super Bowl LXI is scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, according to Disney's viewing guide, which was revised Oct. 19, and to ABC7 Los Angeles. Front Office Sports gave the same date and venue in February 2026. [1] [2] [3]
Disney's guide says it is ESPN's first Super Bowl and the first on ABC since 2006. The NFL's own Super Bowl page, which still leads with Super Bowl LX, links to ticket packages for LXI from On Location, a third-party hospitality seller. [1] [4]
How to watch
The game airs on ESPN and ABC. Disney says it can also be streamed on the ESPN app and on Disney+, and ABC7 reported that all U.S. Disney+ subscribers can stream it in English and Spanish, with the Spanish-language telecast on ESPN Deportes. [1] [2]
ABC7 listed Joe Buck, Troy Aikman, Lisa Salters and Laura Rutledge as the English-language team. Front Office Sports reported earlier this year that Peyton and Eli Manning's alternate telecast would be on ESPN2. Disney's guide also describes an animated alternate telecast called Star Wars Funday Football, which it says will recreate each play with NFL players as animated avatars and stream on Disney+, Disney Channel and Disney XD. ABC7 is owned by Disney, and the Disney page is the company's own, so the broadcast details above come mainly from the broadcaster. [1] [2] [3]
What has not been announced
No halftime performer has been announced in the sources reviewed. The NFL's halftime page still carries the Super Bowl LX announcement that Bad Bunny would headline that show on Feb. 8, and it has nothing on LXI. [5]
Kickoff time was not stated by Disney, ABC7 or the NFL pages reviewed, and it is not confirmed here. [1] [2] [4]
Why it is trending and what comes next
The search interest began Oct. 20, and no single trigger is established. Disney revised its viewing guide the day before, and halftime speculation has been widespread, but neither is shown to have driven the searches. [1]
The NFL's Super Bowl LX ended with Seattle beating New England 29-13, according to the NFL's site. The teams in LXI will be decided by the 2026 season and playoffs, which this article does not project, and no date for a halftime announcement was found. [4]
