Super Bowl 2026: A list of every Super Bowl location and matchup in history, future NFL championship locations

By Shannon McCarriston

This conclusion of this NFL season will mark the 60th Super Bowl and will be played at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. It’s the second Super Bowl played at the stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers, and the third played in the San Francisco Bay area.

The last Super Bowl played at Levi’s Stadium was Super Bowl 50 exactly 10 years ago, when the Denver Broncos defeated the Carolina Panthers, 24-10. Next season the Super Bowl will once again be in California, but in the Los Angeles area at Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium, home of the Los Angeles Chargers and Los Angeles Rams.

The Super Bowl has taken place in numerous cities and stadiums in its 60-year history and any area who wants to host must submit a proposal years in advance. The NFL owners vote on the city they want to select a few years before the game is scheduled. For instance, the 2028 game has already been awarded to Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium. In the beginning of the game’s existence, the process was not as democratic or transparent.

Of all states, Florida has hosted the most Super Bowls at 17, followed by California at 12 and Louisiana at 11.
