NFL membership approved a resolution to return the Super Bowl to the Los Angeles area in February 2027, after a vote Wednesday at the league's annual winter meeting.

SoFi Stadium in Inglewood is home to the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers.

"I'll go home and tell Sean [McVay] and Les [Snead] it's time to start trading away picks so we can win another Super Bowl in our building again," Rams COO/president Kevin Demoff joked in a news conference, referring to the Rams' head coach and general manager.

This season’s Super Bowl will take place in the only venue newer than SoFi Stadium: the Las Vegas Raiders’ Allegiant Stadium.

The New Orleans Saints and San Francisco 49ers are scheduled to host the subsequent title games.
