How many days until the Super Bowl?
A live countdown to Super Bowl LXI on Sunday, February 14, 2027.
Super Bowl LXI: February 14, 2027
The Super Bowl is the championship game of the National Football League (NFL) and one of the most-watched television events in the United States. Super Bowl LXI, the 61st, is scheduled for Sunday, February 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, near Los Angeles. The stadium also hosted Super Bowl LVI in 2022. Super Bowls are numbered in Roman numerals from the first game, played in January 1967, so LXI is the 61st.
In 2027 the game falls on Valentine’s Day, so plans for dinner and plans for the game land on the same Sunday. The Valentine’s Day countdown counts to the same date.
How the date is set
The NFL sets the date and the host stadium: team owners vote on host cities, and the stadium is usually announced several years before the game. Since the regular season grew to 17 games in 2021, the Super Bowl has usually been played on the second Sunday of February; before that it was usually the first Sunday.
This page only counts down to games the NFL has confirmed. Once Super Bowl LXI has been played, it says the next date isn’t confirmed yet rather than guessing, until the next date is added here.
How the countdown works
The countdown runs to midnight at the start of February 14, 2027 in your device’s time zone. It counts to the date rather than the kickoff, because the exact kickoff time is set closer to the game; check the broadcast listings in the week of the game. Choose a unit under the counter to see the time left in weeks, days only, hours, minutes or seconds.
On game day the page shows the day instead of a counter. For a countdown to a kickoff time you choose yourself, use the date countdown calculator.
Confirmed Super Bowl dates
| Game | Date | Venue |
|---|---|---|
| Super Bowl LXI | Sunday, February 14, 2027 | SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, California |
Later games are added here once the NFL confirms them. The usual rule is the second Sunday of February.
Super Bowl Sunday
For many Americans the game is only part of the day. Friends and families gather for watch parties, the halftime show draws viewers who don’t follow football, and the commercials are a talking point of their own. If you are hosting, a countdown on your phone is an easy way to keep the shopping, the food and the guest list on schedule.
