The NFL has awarded the city of Los Angeles the honor of hosting Super Bowl LV in February 2021, according to the NFL. Earlier today, the league announced that Atlanta was selected as the host city for Super Bowl LIII in February 2019 and that Miami will host Super Bowl LIV in 2020.

NFL owners voted on bids from Atlanta, Los Angeles, Miami, Tampa Bay and New Orleans to serve as host cities for Super Bowls LIII, LIV and LV at Tuesday’s meeting. Tampa Bay was not selected as a site, and New Orleans was only under consideration for the 2019 Super Bowl bid, which went to Atlanta.
The Rams were initially considered the favorites to win the 2020 bid, but removed themselves from consideration for Super Bowl LIV. That made it logical that Los Angeles would win the bid to host the big game in 2021.
The city of Los Angeles wanted an NFL team, and they’re getting one in the Rams. They’re also getting a Super Bowl, on the back of the massive $2.6 billion investment in the Inglewood Stadium by team owner Stan Kroenke. The stadium is scheduled to open in 2019.
