### San Francisco and Los Angeles to Host Super Bowl LX and LXI
Following the surprising victory of the Philadelphia Eagles over the Kansas City Chiefs at Super Bowl LIX, held in New Orleans—historically the stadium with the most Super Bowl events, totaling eight—the baton is passed to new venues. San Francisco’s Levi’s Stadium is gearing up to host Super Bowl LX on February 8, 2026. This will mark 10 years since the Bay Area last hosted the celebrated event during Super Bowl 50 in 2016, where the Denver Broncos triumphed 24-10 over the Carolina Panthers at the 49ers’ home ground.
Super Bowl LX will be the third iteration held within the San Francisco region. Previously, the nineteenth edition took place in 1985 at Stanford Stadium, where the local 49ers defeated the Miami Dolphins.
In 2027, the spotlight will move to Los Angeles at SoFi Stadium, home to both the Chargers and the Rams, for Super Bowl LXI. The venue is no stranger to the spectacle, having hosted Super Bowl LVI in 2022, which saw the Los Angeles Rams overcoming the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20.

### The Economic Impact of Super Bowls in Hosting Cities
Super Bowls are much more than a sporting event—they are economic juggernauts for their host cities. The upcoming Super Bowls in San Francisco and Los Angeles are expected to follow this trend, bringing an influx of tourists, media, and investments that bolster local economies. Traditionally, hosting a Super Bowl can provide a financial boost with revenue generated from tourism, hospitality, and related industries, sometimes reaching hundreds of millions of dollars.
Historically, cities hosting the Super Bowl witness a spike in hotel bookings, restaurant reservations, and increased use of transportation services. This ripple effect extends to local businesses benefiting from increased foot traffic. Marketing opportunities also abound, as brands leverage the global exposure to reach wider audiences.
The commitment made by cities to improve infrastructure and public services to accommodate the influx of visitors can have long-term benefits, extending beyond the days of the event itself. As San Francisco and Los Angeles prepare to welcome football fans from across the country and the world, the anticipation builds for not just a thrilling sporting contest but a significant economic event that highlights the host city’s attributes on an international stage.
