SoFi Stadium in Inglewood hosts Super Bowl LXI on Feb. 14, 2027
The NFL says Super Bowl LXI will be played on Sunday, Feb. 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The league also says Jay-Z will perform at the halftime show. That is the position as of 3 November 2026.
SoFi Stadium sits in Inglewood, in the Los Angeles area. Some outlets, such as Complex, give the location as Los Angeles, while the NFL names Inglewood. Both describe the same stadium.
How the NFL announced Jay-Z on Monday Night Football
The headliner was revealed during the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles Monday Night Football game on ESPN. Reports dated 26 October 2026 describe a video from Apple Music that shows Jay-Z in the stands with a goat, a play on the word GOAT.
In the NFL’s release, Jay-Z called the run “a dream come true” and tied it to thirty years of music. Complex reports that Commissioner Roger Goodell said his one request, when the league agreed to work with Roc Nation, was that Jay-Z take the stage himself one day.
Roc Nation, Apple Music and director Hamish Hamilton behind the show
Roc Nation, the company Jay-Z co-founded, executive produces the halftime show and has worked with the NFL on it since 2019, according to the NFL and Complex. Hamish Hamilton directs. Apple Music is the presenting sponsor, which is why the official name is the Apple Music Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show.
ESPN, ABC and Disney+ broadcast the game, with Spanish-language options
The NFL lists ESPN, ABC and Disney+ as the broadcasters of the game, with mobile streaming through NFL+. Complex adds that ESPN’s Spanish-language telecast airs on ESPN Deportes and Disney+, and that Univision has a separate Spanish-language presentation.
What the NFL has not announced about the halftime lineup
The announcement does not give a kickoff time, guest performers or a setlist. Anyone beyond Jay-Z should be treated as unconfirmed until the NFL or Roc Nation publishes a name.
