Super Bowl LVI will be held this season in the Los Angeles area, with SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, the home of the Los Angeles Chargers and Los Angeles Rams, set to host the Big Game. There have been questions as to whether the game will be at 100% capacity given that Super Bowl LV was capped at 33% due to COVID-19 protocols.
We are very confident that Super Bowl LVI between the Cincinnati Bengals and Los Angeles Rams will not only have fans, but we will be back to 100% capacity!

Where is Super Bowl LVI Being Held?
This season’s Super Bowl will be held at SoFi Stadium, home of the Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Chargers. SoFi Stadium is the NFL’s newest, having opened in 2020. The greater Los Angeles area has hosted eight Super Bowls, with the most recent being in 1993 for Super Bowl XXVII, where the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Buffalo Bills.
When is Super Bowl LVI Going to Take Place?
The game’s date is currently set to take place on Sunday, February 13th, 2022. Barring any major changes to the circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, we don’t anticipate any changes to this date.
What is the Seating Capacity at SoFi Stadium?
The regular capacity at SoFi Stadium is 70,000, although they are able to expand that number to just over 100,240 for major events like the Super Bowl.
Will Social Distancing Be Enforced at the 2022 Super Bowl?
As previously stated, we don’t anticipate any social distancing at Super Bowl LVI.
For the 2020-2021 season each team had its own policies on seating capacity for 2020. Most teams allowed fans to purchase tickets in “pods” of 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 seats in order to encourage distancing and keep different groups of fans apart from one another.
Will Vaccines Be Required to Attend the 2022 Super Bowl?
At this time, LA County public health order requires fans ages 5 and over to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 OR a negative COVID-19 test result taken within 48 hours of game-day, with a matching photo ID.
Will Masks Be Required at Super Bowl LVI?
At this time, LA County public health order requires all fans to wear a mask while indoors. However, because SoFi stadium is considered both an indoor & outdoor venue, the county could make the distinction that the venue is outdoors, which would allow for fans to not need masks.
Were Fans Allowed to Attend Super Bowl LV?
Yes, Raymond James Stadium, home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, hosted approximately 25,000 fans for Super Bowl LV, with 7,500 of them being vaccinated frontline health care workers.
