Super Bowl host cities: Where is game in 2027? Who should host it?

Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl field cast must be this tall

Social media weighs in on Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show and field cast height limits, field cast participants need to be between 5’7″ and 6’0″.

Florida leads all states in number of Super Bowls held, at 17.

California is next at 13, with Louisiana third at 11.

This year, after Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, the Golden State will own 14 Super Bowls.

California will further add to its tally after hosting Super Bowl LXI in 2027.

Atlanta will get its fourth Super Bowl in 2028.

However, one glaring omission on the future list is Florida.

The Sunshine State has not hosted the big game since Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium held Super Bowl 55 in 2021. Miami had it in 2020.

Prior to that, Florida had a nine-year break from hosting a Super Bowl, with Miami hosting Super Bowl 44 in 2010.

The Miami area and New Orleans are tied with hosting the most Super Bowls, at 11.

The Los Angeles area (8), Tampa (5) and the Phoenix Metropolitan area (4) are next.

What cities are locked in to host the next Super Bowls?

The Los Angeles metro area will get its ninth Super Bowl in 2027 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, on the outskirts of L.A.

SoFi held Super Bowl LVI in 2022, so they didn’t have to wait long between hosting duties.

Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium will follow in 2028. This will bring the Peach State’s tally to four. They last held Super Bowl LIII in 2019.

After that, it’s anyone’s guess which venues will host the Super Bowl.

Only 16 NFL team cities have played host to Super Bowls.

They include Miami, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Tampa, Phoenix, San Diego, Houston, Atlanta, Detroit, San Francisco, Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Las Vegas, Dallas-Fort Worth, Indianapolis and the New York metro area.

While it makes sense to host the game in warm weather cities, we’ve seen the reach expanded to cold weather destinations with outdoor stadiums, like MetLife in East Rutherford, New Jersey, in 2014.

Obviously, new stadiums make great locales for a Super Bowl, but you also need enough hotels, restaurants and other amenities for the crowds that flock to town. That became evident when Jacksonville hosted Super Bowl 39 in 2005.

With that, here are six locations I believe will host Super Bowls from 2029-34.

2029: Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas, Nevada

Things went so well in Las Vegas in 2024, why not do it again?

It sounds like the NFL is close to making a decision on this.

The Raiders began play in Vegas in 2020. It only took five years for Allegiant to get its first Super Bowl, and now they’ll get a second in under a decade.

Allegiant Stadium is conveniently located right near the airport, just at the south end of the famed Strip.

You could say this prediction is a, ahem, good bet.

2030: Hard Rock Stadium, Miami

By the time 2030 rolls around, eight Super Bowls will have passed since one was held in Florida. That would be one away from the longest non-Florida streak in Super Bowl history (2011-19).

With a decade passing between Miami Super Bowls, it only makes sense that one returns to Hard Rock Stadium (or whatever it may be called four years from now).

2031: AT&T Stadium, Dallas Cowboys

At some point, the NFL’s most powerful owner, Jerry Jones, will have to get a shot to host another one.

The Dallas-Fort Worth metro area has hosted just one Super Bowl, in 2011. That was two years after Jerry World opened in 2009.

Jones currently is 83, and by 2031, he’ll be 88 (as long as he’s still with us).

You’d have to think he’ll be on that list at some point.

2032: State Farm Stadium, Glendale, Arizona

Considered part of the Phoenix metropolitan area, this Arizona hot spot (another bad pun, really?) will get to host its fifth Super Bowl.

Glendale last hosted Super Bowl LVII in 2023, and nine years seems to be an average drought for Super Bowl locales.

2033: New stadium, Tennessee Titans

As we’ve seen, a new venue generally gets a Super Bowl, but it sometimes takes a few years before it comes to town.

Nashville, Tennessee, is simply a beautiful city and a great place to visit.

Construction broke ground early in 2024 on a $2.2 billion domed roof stadium adjacent to current Nissan Stadium. It is expected to open for the 2027 season.

Nashville has never hosted a Super Bowl and would be a great host destination.

2034: EverBank Stadium, Jacksonville

Jacksonville hosted one Super Bowl in 2005, and let’s just say the city had to do a lot just to house guests. You know, like bring in cruise ships to the port so people could have a place to sleep.

Yet, the city and team reached an agreement to renovate EverBank Stadium to the tune of more than $1.5 billion.

The stadium itself is structurally sound, but it will get a lot of improvements, such as shade, better amenities, bathrooms, concessions, etc… Work begins this year and the plan is for the stadium to be complete for the 2028 season.

The city is making great strides in improving the downtown area. They’ve torn down a bunch of the blight along the riverfront near the stadium, and now they have a blank canvas and plenty of time to paint on it.

Owner Shad Khan is putting a lot of his own money into the city of Jacksonville, so you’d hope in eight years they’d build enough new infrastructure to give a first-rate Super Bowl experience.

Other Super Bowl considerations

At some point, a Super Bowl will return to Tampa. Tampa has hosted five Super Bowls and is a great place for visiting fans and teams during the winter. Plus, you’d think the league might owe the city one since their last one was held during the Pandemic and only was sparsely attended. (25,000 people attended, whereas most Super Bowls average around 70,000.)

Houston has been host to three Super Bowls, and you’d have to imagine one will return at some point. The last Houston Super Bowl was LI in 2017.

Detroit has held the Super Bowl twice, once at the Pontiac Silverdome (1982), and once at Ford Field (2006). The Motor City hasn’t held a Super Bowl in nearly two decades, so it seems as though it might be about time.

Chicago is another potential host city, if they ever decide where a new stadium will go, and if it has a dome. If not, I don’t foresee an outdoor Super Bowl in the Windy City in February.

I’d be much happier watching that from the comfort of own home.
