The Super Bowl LXI champion market is the deepest futures board in football, trading across roughly $125.2M in cumulative volume with all 32 NFL teams priced on both Kalshi and Polymarket. The Los Angeles Rams pulled clear of the field over the closing weeks of the preseason and now trade at roughly double the next team on the board, with the Buffalo Bills, Seattle Seahawks, Baltimore Ravens, and Kansas City Chiefs forming the chase group and a seven-team contender band underneath them. The live board above ranks the current cross-platform prices on every team. The 2026 season opens September 9, 2026, and the market resolves when Super Bowl LXI is played on February 14, 2027.
The Super Bowl LXI champion market is the single largest football futures board on the prediction-market calendar, with all 32 NFL teams listed on both Kalshi and Polymarket and roughly $125.2M in cumulative volume across the field. That pool grew by more than $15M in the two weeks it took the league to finish its preseason and set its opening rosters, and the shape of the board changed with it. The Los Angeles Rams separated from the field, the Buffalo Bills, Seattle Seahawks, Baltimore Ravens, and Kansas City Chiefs hold the chase group, a seven-team contender band sits a fraction of a cent apart underneath, and a long tail of clubs needs a healthy roster and a January run to matter. The live board above always shows the current cross-platform cents on every team.
The Los Angeles Rams are the story of the last two weeks. As recently as mid-August they traded roughly 70% above the next name on the board. They now trade at roughly double it, after adding 4c on Polymarket in the last week of August while nearly every other team on the field held its number to the cent. As of August 31, 2026, no other team on either exchange is treated as a co-favorite, and the gap is wide enough that Los Angeles is the benchmark every other price is quoted against. The market is pricing a complete roster on both sides of the ball, top-tier quarterback play, and the coaching continuity that gets rewarded in a single-elimination postseason. The Rams also carry the largest single-team pool on this board at roughly $7.6M, so that number is being set on real size rather than a thin book.
The Buffalo Bills and Seattle Seahawks are the most stable names behind the favorite, trading within a cent of each other at the top of the chase group. Buffalo carries the longer-running pedigree as a perennial AFC threat and leads the AFC championship market, where it competes with Baltimore and Kansas City for a single conference path. Seattle's number reflects a roster the market treats as a genuine NFC contender rather than a wild-card longshot, and the Seahawks drew the assignment that opens the entire season: New England at Seattle on September 9, 2026.
The Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs close out the chase group. Baltimore's run prevention and quarterback dynamism keep it priced as a live title threat, while Kansas City carries the largest postseason-experience premium in the sport even with its number sitting below where the market priced it in recent seasons. Kansas City hosts Denver on Monday night, September 14, 2026, which gives the board its first divisional read in the AFC West. When any of these three prices firms, it usually comes at the expense of the rest of the conference field rather than at the expense of the Rams.
The contender band underneath is the most price-sensitive part of the market. The Dallas Cowboys, Los Angeles Chargers, Denver Broncos, Philadelphia Eagles, Houston Texans, San Francisco 49ers, and Cincinnati Bengals are separated by fractions of a cent, close enough that one September result reorders the tier. San Francisco is the name in that group with the most immediate test: the 49ers visit the Rams on September 10, 2026, in the second game of the season, which is the market's first live look at the favorite. The Detroit Lions, New England Patriots, Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers, and Jacksonville Jaguars sit just below that band.
The long tail spans the remaining clubs, from playoff-adjacent rosters like the Minnesota Vikings, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Indianapolis Colts, New York Giants, Washington Commanders, and Pittsburgh Steelers down to a floor tier of ten teams the market prices at the minimum. For those teams the board is pricing the probability of a healthy stretch run plus a hot January, not a favorite's season-long path. The division boards feed the conference boards and the conference boards feed this one, and the NFC West division futures 2026 alone hold the market favorite plus two more teams inside the top twelve of this field.
The market resolves to the team that wins Super Bowl LXI, the championship game between the AFC and NFC conference winners, scheduled for Sunday, February 14, 2027 to close out the 2026 NFL season. The board carries a resolution deadline of March 31, 2027, which covers any scheduling disruption to the game itself. Each team contract pays out if that team wins the title; every other team contract resolves to zero. If the game is canceled or cannot be completed by the resolution date, the market settles under each platform's published void rules.
