Background

Host selection

The league has made all decisions regarding hosting sites from Super Bowl LVII onward. There is no bidding process per site: the league selects a potential venue unilaterally, the chosen team puts together a hosting proposal, and then the league votes to determine whether it is acceptable.^[3]

On December 13, 2023, the NFL announced that SoFi Stadium, home of both the Los Angeles Rams and the Los Angeles Chargers, was selected as the Super Bowl site.^[4][5][6]

Broadcasting

Television

Super Bowl LXI is scheduled to be televised nationally by ESPN and simulcast on ABC. It will be the fourth Super Bowl to be broadcast as part of the 11-year NFL television contract, which allows a four-year rotation between CBS, Fox, NBC and ABC/ESPN. This would mark the first time ABC has aired the Super Bowl since Super Bowl XL, and the first time ever that ESPN has aired the Super Bowl.^[2][7]

It is expected that the alternative Manningcast will be on ESPN2, and a Spanish-language feed of the game on ESPN Deportes.^[8]

The game is planned to be streamed live on ESPN+, Disney+, ESPN Unlimited, as well as NFL+ via mobile devices.
