Future Super Bowl Locations: Where Will the Super Bowl Be Held?
The NFL awards Super Bowl hosting rights years in advance, allowing cities and stadiums to plan extensive preparations. New Orleans has already secured Super Bowl LX in 2026, and Los Angeles will host Super Bowl LXII in 2028 alongside the Summer Olympics. Here is everything known about upcoming Super Bowl host cities and venues.

New Orleans returns as a Super Bowl host for the 12th time. The Caesars Superdome hosted Super Bowl LIX in 2025 and will host again in February 2026.
The host city for Super Bowl LXI has not yet been announced. Multiple cities are expected to submit bids to the NFL Competition Committee.
SoFi Stadium in Inglewood will host the Super Bowl again in 2028, coinciding with the Los Angeles Summer Olympics. The venue previously hosted Super Bowl LVI in 2022.
How the NFL Selects Super Bowl Host Cities
The NFL's Super Bowl host selection process begins when cities and stadium authorities submit formal bids to the league. The NFL Competition Committee evaluates proposals based on a strict set of criteria before presenting recommendations to team owners, who vote to award hosting rights. The process typically concludes 3–5 years before the game is scheduled to be played.
| Criterion | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Stadium Capacity | Minimum 70,000 seats required; expandable seating preferred |
| Climate / Dome | Warm-weather market (avg temp 50°F+) or fully enclosed domed stadium |
| Hotel Rooms | At least 25,000 hotel rooms within 30 miles of the venue |
| Airport Access | Major international airport with sufficient capacity for surge travel |
| City Infrastructure | Transportation, security, and entertainment district capacity |
| Bid Commitment | Host committee financial guarantee and volunteer support |
Cities in Contention for Future Super Bowl Bids
Several cities with new or recently renovated stadiums are frequently mentioned as future Super Bowl candidates. Nashville, Tennessee — home to the planned new Tennessee Titans stadium — is considered a strong candidate once construction is complete. Kansas City, Atlanta, Indianapolis, and Dallas are among other markets that have hosted in the past and are likely to bid again.
International bids have also been discussed as part of the NFL's global expansion strategy. London, where the NFL already hosts regular-season games, and Mexico City have both been floated as potential future Super Bowl hosts, though no formal announcements have been made.
