Where is Super Bowl 61? Detroit Lions target time, channel and odds
Ex-Detroit Lions safety Quandre Diggs talks Super Bowl 60 with Seattle
Ex-Detroit Lions safety Quandre Diggs talks Super Bowl 60 with Seattle Seahawks at San Jose Conference Center on Monday, Feb. 2, 2026.
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:

Chickens and geese that went missing from a local nonprofit’s Detroit site were found in the backyard of a nearby home, the director of operations said Wednesday.
The Full Circle Foundation, a Grosse Point Park-based nonprofit, said more than a dozen chickens and geese were believed stolen from a chicken coop on Detroit’s east side that also features the Full Circle Edible Garden.
The nonprofit provides training and job opportunities for young people with special needs.
Neighbors who learned from news reports about the missing flock found the “chickens were being held in the backyard of a vacant home not far from the Full Circle Edible Garden,” said Stephanie DiVirgil, director of operations. She said Ribbon Farm 4-H owns the flock.
“The homeowner was contacted, and she reached out to Full Circle to confirm,” said DiVirgil. “We were able to retrieve all of the chickens and geese that were found on the property, 19 in total.”
The foundation and Ribbon Farms 4-H are working to secure the site, including cameras, fencing and lights.
“We will likely start a fundraising campaign to have these items installed,” DiVirgil said. “We’ve gotten amazing support from the community, including offers to help pay for these additional security measures.”
