After the Tampa Bay Buccaneers became the first team ever to play a Super Bowl at home this year, the Los Angeles Rams can become the second in 2022. The big game will move from Tampa Bay to Los Angeles next year, with SoFi Stadium playing host to Super Bowl LVI on Feb. 6, 2022.
On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Super Bowl Host Committee released a hype video for next year’s game in Inglewood, Calif., as well as the logo. The video is narrated by none other than Snoop Dogg, who was born and raised in Long Beach.
Check out the video below, which also shows off the logo for the Los Angeles Super Bowl.

This is the first time Los Angeles will have hosted a Super Bowl since 1993, which is hard to believe. That year, Troy Aikman was the MVP in the Cowboys’ win over the Bills, O.J. Simpson did the opening coin toss and Michael Jackson performed at halftime.
That game was held at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena on Jan. 31, 1993.

Here’s what commissioner Roger Goodell said about Los Angeles hosting next year’s Super Bowl, expressing his excitement for the big game to return to Southern California.
Since Los Angeles hosted the first Super Bowl back in 1967, the Super Bowl has become a spectacle larger than the league could have ever imagined. The return of the Super Bowl to this region is in large part thanks to Stan Kroenke‘s commitment to delivering this game-changing project at Hollywood Park. We are thrilled to be partnering with the Los Angeles Sports & Entertainment Commission, SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park, the Los Angeles Rams and the Los Angeles Chargers to bring the nation’s biggest sporting event to Los Angeles and Inglewood for Super Bowl LVI.
With the Rams and Chargers both on the rise and potentially being contenders next season, it would be remarkable to have an all-L.A. Super Bowl at SoFi Stadium in 2022.
