ESPN is sending one fan and three guests to Super Bowl LXI, and the trip comes with a Disneyland Resort stay attached. The “We’re Going to the Super Bowl” Sweepstakes opened September 8, 2026, and it’s the biggest ticket giveaway of ESPN’s whole football season push.
Here’s what the grand prize package includes. The winner and up to three guests get four tickets to Super Bowl LXI. They also get a three-night stay at the Disneyland Resort and 3-Day Park Hopper tickets. On top of that, the group gets a chance to experience the Super Bowl Champions Cavalcade down Main Street, U.S.A., on the Monday after the game.
That last piece is the part I’d circle. The champions cavalcade is one of the most recognizable Disneyland traditions in sports, and watching it from the parade route the morning after the Super Bowl is a very different thing than watching a clip of it online.
How to enter
Fans can enter from September 8, 2026, through December 31, 2026, at ESPN.com/SBLXI. No purchase is necessary to enter or win. The sweepstakes is open to legal residents of the 50 U.S. states and D.C. who are 18 or older at the time of entry. There’s a limit of one entry per person, and it’s void where prohibited.
The grand prize winner has to travel between February 12 and February 15, 2027. Official rules, eligibility details, odds and prize limitations are posted at ESPN.com/SBLXI.
What Disney and ESPN said
“We’re excited to team up with ESPN and give one lucky fan and their guests a visit that pairs the excitement of the Super Bowl with a stay at Disneyland Resort,” said Annika Chase, Senior Vice President of Commercial Strategy, Disneyland Resort. “It’s a great way to turn one of the biggest weekends in sports into a family memory that lasts well beyond the game.”
A season of giveaways
This sweepstakes is the largest ticket giveaway of the campaign, but it isn’t the only one. ESPN and Disney kicked things off over the summer with Super Bowl ticket giveaways tied to D23 and Essence Fest. More are coming through Disney+ Perks, Andscape and social surprise-and-delight drops across the season.
The campaign also runs through Disney’s entertainment slate. Super Bowl tickets are being worked into daytime and late-night programming, including Live with Kelly and Mark, Good Morning America and Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Tickets will show up as prizes on Press Your Luck, Project Runway and Wheel of Fortune too. Disney says additional details for select promotions will be announced later.
All of it sits under ESPN’s “Year of the Super Bowl,” a yearlong celebration built with Disney and the NFL. It leads to ESPN’s first Super Bowl production on February 14, 2027, when Super Bowl LXI airs from SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on ESPN and ABC.
