San Francisco & Bay Area | Super Bowl LX Week Guide 🏈


With the Super Bowl returning to the Bay Area, San Francisco and surrounding cities will be buzzing with events, visitors, and demand for short-term and furnished housing. From where to stay and what neighborhoods to explore to Super Bowl week events and watch parties, this Bay Area Super Bowl Guide covers everything you need to know.


 📍 Where the Super Bowl Is Happening

The Super Bowl will take place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, located in the South Bay. While the stadium itself sits outside San Francisco, the city remains the primary hub for Super Bowl visitors thanks to its hotels, dining, nightlife, and large-scale event venues.


San Francisco typically hosts many Super Bowl week activities, brand activations, and fan experiences, making it a popular home base for visitors who want more than just game-day access. Many attendees choose to stay in San Francisco and travel to Santa Clara on game day while enjoying the city throughout the week.
