In the race for Super Bowls, score another one for California.

The NFL owners unanimously voted Tuesday to award Super Bowl 61, to be played February 2027, to Los Angeles and SoFi Stadium.

SoFi Stadium is located in Inglewood, California, and is the home venue of the Rams and Chargers.

This marks the second time SoFi Stadium, which opened in September 2020, will host the Super Bowl, and the second time in just five years. The venue was host to Super Bowl 56 on February 13, 2022, an eventual 23-20 Rams victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.

This will also mark the second consecutive Super Bowl California enjoys, as Super Bowl 60 is set to be played in Santa Clara, at Levi's Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers.

NFL owners select the host cities of Super Bowls based on the infrastructure of the stadiums, availability of hotel rooms and nearby attractions to entertain visitors, accommodations for the participating teams to practice and set their headquarters and other considerations. Very often, warm weather cities tend to get preference, and ownership typically likes to cycle through venues so that there's a time gap between the period that specific city hosts two Super Bowls.

Where are the next Super Bowls going to be played?

Super Bowl 58, which will be played at the end of this current season, will take place in Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Then the game will be played in the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans (Super Bowl 59 in 2025), Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California (Super Bowl 60 in 2026) and SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles (Super Bowl 61 in 2027).
