Super Bowl Tickets

The short answer on Super Bowl seats

For a game you may see once, buy height on the sideline before you buy closeness in the end zone. A seat in the middle rows of the lower level between the 20-yard lines is the top choice; an upper-level sideline seat usually beats a low end zone seat for what you actually see. The next game, Super Bowl LXI, is set for Sunday, February 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, which means a covered building and no weather to plan around.

Three trade-offs decide the rest:

• View vs. proximity. Rows 1 to 10 in an end zone feel close but compress the far half of the field into a thin strip.
• Club comfort vs. sightline. Club tiers add wider seats and indoor lounges; the view is similar to the seats around them.
• Field-level seats vs. the shows. Pregame ceremonies and the halftime stage use the field and the sidelines, and the lowest rows can lose sight lines while they are up.

Upcoming hosts and how each building is laid out

The NFL chooses each host directly, usually three to five years out. Four games are set as of October 2026.

SoFi Stadium, Inglewood (Super Bowl LXI, Feb. 14, 2027)

Awarded on December 13, 2023, this will be the building's second Super Bowl. Capacity is listed at 70,240 and can expand. Levels run from the 100s at the field through the 200-level club tier to the 300, 400 and 500 levels under a translucent ETFE canopy (a lightweight plastic roof membrane). The field is set well below street level, so the lowest rows mean a long walk down. The two-sided Infinity Screen hangs over the middle of the field, so every level has a board in front of it.

Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Atlanta (Super Bowl LXII, Feb. 13, 2028)

Announced October 15, 2024, it will be Atlanta's fourth Super Bowl and the stadium's second, after Super Bowl LIII in 2019. The building holds about 71,000 under a retractable roof, in 100, 200 and 300 levels. Club sections carry a C at the end of the section number.

Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas area (Super Bowl LXIII, Feb. 11, 2029)

Announced March 30, 2026, five years after it hosted Super Bowl LVIII. It seats about 65,000, expandable to roughly 71,800, under a fixed translucent roof, with a 100-level bowl, a suite and loge 200 level, and 300 and 400 upper decks.

Nissan Stadium, Nashville (Super Bowl LXIV, February 2030)

Approved by owners on May 19, 2026, it will be Tennessee's first Super Bowl. No host past 2030 had been named as of October 2026.

Ranking the seat zones from first choice to last

• Lower sideline, 20 to 20: the full field at a usable angle, plus the benches. Highest demand of any zone.
• Club sideline: nearly the same view, with lounge access and shorter lines. A strong choice if comfort matters over a long day.
• Lower corners: a diagonal view that still reads formations; a sensible compromise.
• Upper sideline: farther away, but every route and coverage shift is visible. Often the best value in the building.
• Lower end zone: good for red-zone plays at your end, weak for everything else.
• Upper end zone: the most accessible way into the stadium, and the hardest place to follow the game without the video boards.

Skip the very first rows behind the benches if you want to watch the game rather than the backs of players and staff standing on the sideline.

Packages, resale and when demand moves

There is no public on-sale of single seats, as there is for a regular-season game. The league's Super Bowl page points buyers to two channels: On Location, the NFL's hospitality company, which sells seats bundled with pregame hospitality, and the NFL Ticket Exchange on Ticketmaster, a resale market. In practice, nearly every fan in the building holds a package or a resale ticket.

Demand moves in three phases:

• Months out: buyers are pricing the host city and the stadium, not the teams.
• Conference championship weekend: the matchup is set about two weeks before the game, and demand jumps or eases based on the two fan bases and how far they travel.
• The final days: listings can rise or fall as travelers commit or cancel; waiting carries real risk.

Any seat bought through Reserved Seat is covered by a 100% guarantee.

Game day logistics in a host city

Treat the day as a full-day trip. Security perimeters are wide, roads close early, and screening lines form well before the gates open, so arrive hours ahead.

• Bag rules: NFL stadiums, SoFi Stadium among them, have enforced a clear-bag policy in recent seasons (bags of clear plastic, vinyl or PVC, around 12 by 6 by 12 inches). Read the stadium's current policy page and the game's own rules before you pack.
• Mobile tickets: add a digital ticket to your phone's wallet at the hotel; cell coverage near a full stadium is unreliable.
• Hotels: rooms near the stadium go early. A base farther out with transit or a booked ride is often less stressful.
• Week events: the host region runs fan events all week. For Super Bowl LX, the Super Bowl Experience and the Pro Bowl Games were both at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. A game ticket does not cover them, so check each one's admission separately.

Halftime, the trophy and the crowd

The halftime show is its own production. Early shows used college and high school marching bands; contemporary pop acts became the norm again from Super Bowl XLV. Bad Bunny headlined at Super Bowl LX, joined by Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin.

The winning team lifts the Vince Lombardi Trophy, named for the Green Bay Packers coach who won the first two games. The crowd is unlike a home playoff game: both teams travel, and many seats go to neutral fans, so the noise comes in waves from two ends of the building. No dress code applies; team colors are the norm.

How the championship game took shape

The first game, on January 15, 1967, was billed as the AFL–NFL World Championship Game. Lamar Hunt, owner of the Kansas City Chiefs, came up with the name "Super Bowl" during merger talks, and it became official with the third game. Lombardi died in 1970, and the trophy carried his name from Super Bowl V on. Roman numerals number the games, which is why 2027 is LXI.

The game moved into February in 2004 and has sat on the second Sunday in February since 2022. Since 2018 the league has picked hosts directly instead of running competitive bids; a host needs a stadium of 70,000 seats or more in an NFL market and 35,000 parking spaces within a mile. The Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots share the record of six titles. Most recently, at Super Bowl LX on February 8, 2026, at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, the Seattle Seahawks beat the Patriots 29–13 before 70,823 fans.
