Where is Super Bowl 61? Detroit Lions target time, channel and odds

Well, now that Super Bowl 60 is over – the Seattle Seahawks triumphed over the New England Patriots, 29-13, for their second Lombardi Trophy – it’s time for Detroit Lions fans to start dreaming of Super Bowl 61.

The Lions have four NFL titles, but they remain the only NFL franchise that has existed for all 60 years of the Super Bowl era not to have made the big game. (The Cleveland Browns, Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars also have never made the Super Bowl.)

So where (and when) should confident Lions fans be booking their tickets for now?

Super Bowl 61 is scheduled for Feb. 14, 2027, and will be televised on ABC and ESPN. A good sign for Lions fans? ABC’s previous Super Bowl broadcast was in 2006 and also involve Detroit – when Ford Field hosted the Seahawks and the Pittsburgh Steelers (who were victorious). 2027 will also be the first Super Bowl broadcast by ESPN.

The 2026 NFL season will feature the first Super Bowl played on Valentine’s Day, as the season won’t kick off until Sept. 10, and will end on Jan. 10.

Where is Super Bowl 61?

The 2027 Super Bowl will be played at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. It’ll be the ninth Super Bowl in the Los Angeles area, and the second played at SoFi; in the first, the Los Angeles Rams – led by ex-Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford – were the victors in their home stadium over the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Lions are 1-2 in franchise history at SoFi Stadium, which is home to both the Rams and the Los Angeles Chargers – 0-2 against their fellow NFC squad, the Rams, and 1-0 against the AFC’s Chargers.

Here’s what else you need to know about next year’s Super Bowl:

Retired Detroit sergeant faces new sexual assault charge involving 14-year-old victim from 2002

Retired Detroit sergeant faces new sexual assault charge involving 14-year-old victim from 2002

Updated on: March 27, 2026 / 12:23 PM EDT
/ CBS Detroit

An additional case, this one involving a victim who was then 14 years old, has been added to the sexual assault investigation against a former Detroit Police Department sergeant.

Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy announced the latest charges on Friday against Benjamin Martin Wagner, 68, who now lives in Greenville, N.C. He had retired from the Detroit Police Department in 2017.

The victim in the additional charges was 14 years old when the assault happened in October 2002 in Detroit, Worthy said. The prosecutor alleges that Wagner approached the victim, pointed a handgun at her, ordered her away from the location and then sexually assaulted her.

In this case, he faces charges of kidnapping, two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and two counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct. An arraignment hearing took place Friday in the 36th District Court in Detroit. A probable cause conference is scheduled for April 7.

The woman is now 37 years old.

“She has lived with what happened to her for 23 years and has now bravely decided that she wants to be a part of holding him accountable,” Worthy said.

Wagner participated in a court hearing Thursday and was remanded to jail, one week after he was charged with 15 counts of kidnapping and rape in five separate sexual assault cases. All of those incidents happened between 1999 and 2003 in the northwest side of Detroit, with the victims being young women between the ages of 15 and 23.

The court dates for the earlier list of charges are April 7 for a probable cause hearing and April 14 for a preliminary exam.

Wagner joined the Detroit Police Department in 1989 as a police officer and was eventually promoted to sergeant. He retired in 2017 and moved to North Carolina.

I’m Gonna Marry You Tobey Maguire closes Detroit Mercy’s 55th Season

DETROIT — Detroit Mercy Theatre Company (DMTC) closes the inaugural season of the new Detroit

Mercy Black Box Theatre with I’m Gonna Marry You Tobey Maguire by Samantha Hurley, playing April 10-19 on University of Detroit Mercy’s McNichols Campus.

I’m Gonna Marry You Tobey Maguire is set in 2004 and follows 14-year-old Shelby Hinkley, who is obsessed with Hollywood star Tobey Maguire and creates a play to kidnap and marry him in her basement.

“This play is as hilarious as it is heartfelt,” said DMTC managing director Sarah Rusk. “Shelby truly believes Tobey Maguire is her destiny, and through her obsession we get a look into the complicated emotions of growing up during the Y2K era.”

“I absolutely love working with young actors,” said director Cassandra Svacha.

“Watching them create and rise to the challenge is thrilling. I’m Gonna Marry You Tobey Maguire to college-aged kids is like a period piece; none of them were alive when this story takes place so it’s extra fun to have them dive into this world in an anthropologic way. They aren’t reminiscing or remembering 2004, they have to study that world and build it for themselves.”

I’m Gonna Marry You Tobey Maguire runs six performances April 10-19 at the new Detroit Mercy Black Box Theatre on University of Detroit Mercy’s McNichols Campus. The DMTC Ticket Office is open Tuesday-Thursday 10 a.m.- 2 p.m., with tickets being available for purchase anytime online at www.DetroitMercyArts.com.

Individual tickets are $25 for adults, $18 for seniors and Detroit Mercy faculty, staff and alumni, and $10 for veterans and students (ages 4-college). Discounts are available for groups of 10 or more. To schedule your group, contact Sarah Rusk at 313-993-3273.

Those looking to buy tickets should note that the play is rated R and contains adult language and
