49ers’ Levi’s Stadium to host NFL Super Bowl LX in 2026 

Levi’s Stadium, the home of the San Francisco 49ers, will host Super Bowl LX in 2026, the NFL has confirmed. Located in Santa Clara, in the San Francisco Bay Area, the stadium opened in 2014 and previously hosted Super Bowl 50 in 2016. 

According to an independent study, Super Bowl 50 generated almost $250m for the Bay Area economy and the NFL is “thrilled to bring the Super Bowl back”, said NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. “We look forward to working with the 49ers and the Bay Area Host Committee to create an impactful Super Bowl LX in 2026 that showcases all the great things the region has to offer.”

Al Guido, president of the San Francisco 49ers, added: “We are honoured to host the Super Bowl at Levi’s Stadium once again, and to be stewards of one of the biggest sporting events in the world. Since hosting Super Bowl 50 in 2016, Levi’s Stadium has cemented its reputation as a world-class venue. I’m confident Super Bowl LX will be a terrific event that benefits the entire community.”

As part of Super Bowl LX activities, the Bay Area will host a number of events that make up Super Bowl Week, including NFL Honors, Super Bowl Experience, Super Bowl Opening Night, and a robust community program. The events are expected to take place across the Bay Area, with limitless opportunities for visitors and residents to have memorable experiences leading up to the game.

“The Bay Area is an exciting region for sports and is the perfect host for Super Bowl LX,” said Zaileen Janmohamed, president and CEO of the Bay Area Host Committee. “2026 will be a blockbuster year for the Bay Area on the world stage as it hosts both the Super Bowl and World Cup – and it’s fitting timing as San Francisco celebrates its 250th birthday. We are thrilled to bring another large-scale event to the area, and to showcase the Bay Area’s unique spirit and diversity.”

2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay 

The NFL has also announced that the 2025 NFL Draft will take place in Green Bay, inside and around iconic Lambeau Field and Titletown. 

The week-long event in Green Bay will feature a range of activities, including community events and the NFL Draft Experience – the league’s interactive football theme park. Draft Experience will provide fans a free opportunity to take part in participatory games, enjoy interactive exhibits, musical performances, autograph sessions and photo opportunities with the Vince Lombardi Trophy. 

“This is an incredible day for the Packers, Greater Green Bay and the entire state of Wisconsin as we are excited and honoured to be selected to host the 2025 NFL Draft,” said Mark Murphy, president and CEO of the Green Bay Packers. “The Packers have a rich and proud history that goes back to the early days of the NFL and are the only community owned team. That connection to our league’s heritage combined with the great passion Packers fans will bring will make the Draft a memorable event for those in attendance and NFL fans watching around the world.”
