The NFL has made it official: Super Bowl LX will be held at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, home of the San Francisco 49ers.
‘The Bay Area was an incredible host for Super Bowl 50, and we are 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.’
Levi’s Stadium, which opened in 2014 as a replacement for Candlestick Park as the San Francisco 49ers’ home stadium, hosted Super Bowl 50 on February 7, 2016, when the Denver Broncos defeated the Carolina Panthers 24-10.
The 49ers have been seeking funds from the league for upgrades to the stadium to host the Super Bowl.
Levi’s Stadium also is one of 11 NFL venues hosting 2026 World Cup soccer games in the summer of 2026, when the United States, Canada and Mexico will serve as co-host countries.

San Francisco boasts one of the strongest rosters in the NFL this season however, they have a tremendous question at the quarterback position.
Last year’s initial starter Trey Lance III is making his way back from an ankle injury that ended his season much earlier than expected, however he was rather infective before being hurt.
To follow this up last year’s Mr. Irrelevant Brock Purdy has been rehabbing an elbow injury that required surgery after the season was over.
Former New York Jets bust, and Carolina Panthers failure Sam Darnold is currently set to enter training camp as the only 49ers QB that is not spending his offseason rehabilitating an injury and may have a clear shot at being the opening day starter.
