Fox Sports has published staff predictions for Super Bowl LXI, scheduled to be played at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, ahead of the 2026 NFL regular season.

The forecasts include the Los Angeles Rams, Cincinnati Bengals, Denver Broncos and Chicago Bears. They remain subjective predictions rather than confirmed finalists, with the full set of contributors’ picks not established in the supplied material.

Henry McKenna selected the Rams to defeat the Bengals 26–20, citing the team’s roster depth, coaching and key players. Ralph Vacchiano predicted the Broncos would beat the Bears 31–24.

The Seattle Seahawks enter the season as reigning Super Bowl champions, although Fox Sports contributors were not bullish on their chances of repeating. The 2026 regular season is due to begin with a rematch of Super Bowl LX.

The contributors’ assessments refer to roster strength, coaching, quarterback performance, injuries and team development. Super Bowl LXI’s exact date is not stated in the supplied material.
