Santa Clara's Levi’s Stadium to Host Super Bowl LX in 2026

The National Football League (NFL) announced that the much-anticipated Super Bowl LX (60) will be returning to California, specifically to Santa Clara's state-of-the-art Levi’s Stadium in 2026. The home of the San Francisco 49ers will welcome thousands of football fans from around the world for a second time, following the successful hosting of Super Bowl 50 back in 2016, where the Denver Broncos claimed victory over the Carolina Panthers.

The announcement reinforces California's status as a hotspot for the Super Bowl, which was most recently held in Inglewood's SoFi Stadium two years ago. The return to Levi’s Stadium underscores the NFL’s confidence in California's ability to put on a first-class event, not just for football aficionados but also for casual fans and visitors.

The week-long Super Bowl LX festivities are not just about the game; they transform the host city into a vibrant and buzzing hub of events, parties, and fan experiences.

Visitors are encouraged to extend their trip to enjoy all that the San Francisco Bay Area has to offer.
