Super Bowl LXI is scheduled for February 14, 2027. Traders researching possible Kalshi markets around the game need a clear timeline and a reliable source checklist. This guide provides the verified event calendar as of July 2026 and walks through the steps required to confirm whether a live contract exists, what its settlement terms say, and how to avoid common assumptions that can lead to mispriced positions.
Primary sources checked: The SoFi Stadium official event page confirms the date and venue. The CFTC designation order for KalshiEX confirms Kalshi's status as a regulated contract market. The Los Angeles Sports and Entertainment Commission event page provides additional hosting context. This brief was checked on July 15, 2026.
The following facts come directly from the SoFi Stadium listing and the LA Sports and Entertainment Commission page. Anything beyond these details remains unconfirmed at this snapshot date.
The kickoff time typically becomes available closer to the season. Until the NFL or the venue publishes a confirmed start time, any number you see elsewhere is speculative.
A common mistake is assuming that a Kalshi contract automatically inherits the event's official date, time, or outcome criteria. In practice, each Kalshi market has its own rules document. That document specifies the settlement source, the exact question being asked, the close time, and any edge cases.
For example, a hypothetical Super Bowl winner market might settle based on the NFL's official game result. A market asking whether total viewership exceeds a threshold might settle based on Nielsen data released days later. Traders should never assume. The only reliable method is reading the contract's rules page on Kalshi before placing any order.
This guide does not confirm that any specific Super Bowl LXI contract is currently listed. Contract availability, pricing, and eligibility must come from Kalshi directly. Here is a checklist for verifying a live market:
If you cannot find a Super Bowl LXI market in the directory, one may not yet be listed. Markets sometimes appear weeks or months before an event, not years in advance.
Kalshi operates as a CFTC-designated contract market (DCM). That regulatory status does not confirm that any particular Super Bowl contract is listed, available in a given location, or governed by assumed settlement terms.
The CFTC designation order confirms Kalshi's DCM status but does not guarantee the availability or legality of any particular sports contract in every jurisdiction. Before trading, check the market's rules and your own eligibility.
The participating teams and kickoff time were not confirmed at the July 15, 2026 source snapshot. Recheck the official event page as the game approaches, and separately check Kalshi for any current contract listing and exact rules.
Traders following Kalshi event markets can monitor the @Kalshi_market Telegram channel for community discussion. Keep in mind that community chatter is not a substitute for official contract details. Always verify directly on Kalshi.
Several errors recur among traders who enter event markets without proper verification:
Before trading any Super Bowl LXI 2027 Kalshi market, complete the following checks:
Super Bowl LXI is scheduled for Sunday, February 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The kickoff time has not been announced as of the July 15, 2026 source check. Traders should monitor the official SoFi Stadium event page or NFL announcements for updates. Do not assume a kickoff time until officially published.
Visit kalshi.com/markets and search for Super Bowl or NFL-related terms. If a contract exists, it will appear in the results. Open the market page and read the rules tab to confirm the settlement question, source, and close time. If no results appear, the market may not yet be listed.
Settlement timing depends entirely on the specific contract's rules. This page does not confirm a settlement source or timing. Read the exact contract rules before trading.
The CFTC source confirms KalshiEX's designated contract market status, but it does not confirm any particular sports contract or its availability. Check Kalshi's current terms, the exact market rules, and applicable local restrictions before placing orders.
