One calendar fact breaks the usual February routine: the Super Bowl and Valentine’s Day share Sunday 14 February 2027. The room wants a party; the couple wants an evening; the school wants valentines on Friday. This page plans all three, on verified dates, with the printables that carry each job.
When is the Super Bowl in 2027, and why does it land on Valentine’s Day?
| Fact | Value | Source (dated) |
|---|---|---|
| The game | Sunday 14 February 2027 | NFL operations calendar, operations.nfl.com, checked 5 October 2026 |
| The venue | SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, California | nfl.com, read 5 October 2026 |
| First on Valentine’s Day | yes — the game sits on the second Sunday of February; in 2027 that is the 14th | Wikipedia’s Super Bowl LXI page (league-adjacent corroboration), read 5 October 2026 |
| Broadcast | ESPN and ABC | same source, read 5 October 2026 |
| Kickoff time | not announced as of 5 October 2026 | checked 5 October 2026 |
| The teams | not decided as of 5 October 2026 | checked 5 October 2026 |
The collision is calendar arithmetic, not a one-off: the Super Bowl plays the second Sunday of February every year, and 2027 is the first time that Sunday is the 14th. Nothing else about the day is set yet — which is why every plan below is a shape, not a schedule.
Party or date night — how do you plan for both?
The working answer from couples planning the same weekend: split the occasions. Give Valentine’s its own evening on Saturday 13 February, and give the game the room on Sunday.
| Date night — Saturday 13 February | The party — Sunday 14 February | |
|---|---|---|
| Who | the two of you | the crew |
| The job | dinner, the small gift, the us-time | snacks, the board, four quarters |
| The print | the one-page game plan | the 100-square board |
| The rule | none — the evening stays yours | the draw happens when the board is full |
The squares tool prints both halves: its third mode is the Saturday plan on one page — dinner, where, the small gift, one line each — and its pair mode is the 25-square board the two of you play on Sunday.
How does a squares board carry the party?
Names in first, numbers last. Every guest claims squares by name — the tool places them, none shared — then one shuffle drops the digits 0–9 down each side. After each quarter the last digit of each team’s score finds the winning square; four reads, four winners. The sheet carries the date block — Super Bowl LXI · Sunday 14 February 2027 · SoFi Stadium, Inglewood — and blank team lines, because the champions do not exist yet. The maker above does all of it; the honest limits are printed too: no kickoff time, no teams, nothing invented.
What prints for the couple?
Two pages. The game plan for two turns Saturday the 13th into write-in lines — it is a planning sheet, not a card, and it never drifts into certificate territory because the job is a schedule, not a keepsake. The pair board is Sunday’s version for a household of two: 25 squares, five drawn digits per side, 30 mm cells. Print both from the maker above and the weekend has its paperwork done a week early.
When do the class valentines fit?
Before everything. Schools exchange cards on or near Friday 12 February — two days before both occasions — so the class job is a late-January evening, not a game-day scramble. The football valentine class cards maker types it out: one child’s name in every From line, one football pun, 8, 12 or 24 cards to a sheet at true size. A class of 24 is one sheet at 24-up.
The one plan, week by week
| When | The job | The print |
|---|---|---|
| Late January | the school valentines | class cards, 1–3 sheets |
| First week of February | the board drafted | squares board, names in, teams blank |
| Saturday 13 February | the couple’s evening | game plan for two |
| Sunday 14 February | the game | the board on the fridge, digits drawn |
The Super Bowl Valentine hub keeps the dates, the party-versus-date-night table and both tools together. Everything on it prints free, in the browser, nothing uploaded — and when the league announces the teams and the kickoff time, the only thing that changes on your paper is what you write in.
Sources read 5 October 2026: the NFL operations calendar (operations.nfl.com/calendar-events/nfl-important-dates), two league news pages (nfl.com), and Wikipedia’s Super Bowl LXI page for the broadcast and first-on-Valentine’s-Day corroboration. The kickoff time was not announced on that date; no time appears on this page or its printouts.
Questions
Is the Super Bowl really on Valentine's Day in 2027?
Yes. Super Bowl LXI is on Sunday 14 February 2027 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The league's own operations calendar lists it (checked 5 October 2026), and it is the first Super Bowl played on Valentine's Day — the game sits on the second Sunday of February, and in 2027 that Sunday is the 14th.
What time is kickoff?
Not announced as of 5 October 2026. The league sets it closer to the game, which is why every plan on this page works without a clock.
Who is playing in Super Bowl LXI?
Not decided as of 5 October 2026. The squares board prints with blank team lines to write in on game day.
How can couples celebrate when the game is on Valentine's Day?
Give the holiday its own evening: dinner, the small gift and the us-time on Saturday 13 February, then the game together on Sunday — with the one-page game plan and the 25-square board printed from the maker on this page.
What should I print for a Super Bowl Valentine party?
The squares board — 100 squares, the guests' names typed in, the numbers drawn last, the Super Bowl LXI date block on the sheet. It prints true size on A4 or US Letter, free, in the browser.
When do the kids' class valentines fit in?
Before the weekend: classes exchange cards on or near Friday 12 February. The class card maker types one child's name into the From line of a full set — 8, 12 or 24 cards on a sheet — so the school job is one printing evening in late January.
