Super Bowl LVI was the NFL championship game for the 2021 season, where the Los Angeles Rams defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 23–20. Held on February 13, 2022, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, it marked the second time a team won a Super Bowl in its own home stadium. The Rams secured their first championship since 1999, aided by quarterback Matthew Stafford, who broke his 12-year playoff losing streak, while the Bengals ended the longest playoff-victory drought in major North American sports to reach their first Super Bowl since 1988.

The game featured three lead changes and a tense fourth quarter, with the Rams scoring a go-ahead touchdown with under two minutes remaining after a crucial fourth-down conversion. Wide receiver Cooper Kupp, who caught the game-winning touchdown, was named Super Bowl MVP. Notably, this was the first Super Bowl without a top-3 seed in the NFL's seeding era, and NBC's broadcast attracted an average of 112.3 million viewers, making it the second-most-watched Super Bowl in history.
