"The Los Angeles Rams, the Los Angeles Host Committee and many other outstanding partners will help create an unforgettable week of events culminating in Super Bowl Sunday in 2027 that will celebrate the region as an epicenter of sports, entertainment and culture."

Los Angeles also hosted the first ever Super Bowl in 1967 when the Green Bay Packers beat the Kansas City Chiefs 35-10 at L.A.'s Memorial Coliseum.
The greater L.A. area will have hosted nine Super Bowls by 2027. SoFi Stadium will have two under its belt, equaling the Coliseum's tally. The Rose Bowl in Pasadena hosted the event five times.
