The 2025-2026 NFL season, which culminates in Super Bowl LX this February, has unfolded in ways that fans couldn't predict. It's always been clear that grit and determination can bring home championships in the NFL, but this year, veteran resilience and fortitude have pushed two teams close to the biggest game in football. While traditional powerhouses were projected to go far, some teams unexpectedly fell short.
In the final weeks of the season, there were ties that led to overtime, shocking losses, and unsuspecting teams overtaking safe bets, creating surprises at every turn. The teams that made it to the end of the line captured fan attention and rewrote early prognostications. Nonetheless, as the postseason culminates, the matchup for Super Bowl LX reflects a pairing of elite competitors.
Super Bowl LX, the 60th Super Bowl, is going to come down to the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks matching up for a chance at the ultimate title. While both have storied histories, their paths to the big game came with twists that reflect the chaos and beauty of football. Both teams seem ready to give fans a Super Bowl they'll never forget.
What Time Is Super Bowl LX?
The big game will air live at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT on Sunday, February 8. The Super Bowl LX will happen at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Super Bowl LX Will Feature The New England Patriots & Seattle Seahawks
SeahawksSuper Bowl LX, which was finally decided after the final two playoff games on Sunday, January 25, will showcase the talents of the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks. The Patriots, who beat the Denver Broncos for the AFC title in a 10-7 nail-biter, will be returning to the Super Bowl for the first time since 2018, when they won the title.
Though the Patriots are a polarizing team, seeing them find their way back to the league's biggest game has been an interesting narrative throughout the season. The Seahawks, who have played in their fair share of playoff games, has only won one Super Bowl championship. They haven't been back in the mix since their big win against the Denver Broncos in 2013.
Super Bowl LX Is Being Held In Santa Clara, California
PatriotsWhile both teams play in their own stadiums, the Patriots at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts and the Seahawks at Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington, the Super Bowl won't be played at either of their home fields. Instead, Super Bowl LX will be played at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. This stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers, is in the heart of Northern California's Silicon Valley.
Choosing to hold the game at an arena where neither team has home field advantage is common for the NFL, and Levi's Stadium is a great pick for two teams who are used to a far colder climate. Santa Clara’s stadium provides both players and fans with state-of-the-art facilities and better weather, offering an ideal backdrop for the title game.
Super Bowl LX's Date & What Time The Game Starts
PatriotsSuper Bowl LX is scheduled for Sunday, February 8. The Patriots and the Seahawks will kickoff at 6:30 pm EST, but the festivities throughout the day and weekend leading up to the game will be a major part of the event. With big performances, press coming from each team, and a buildup to the biggest matchup in football, Super Bowl LX weekend's going to be huge.

Bad Bunny, a Puerto Rican artist with culturally influential music that's made it to the mainstream, will headline the halftime show with his music on a major stage.
In addition, the Super Bowl's pre-game lineup of performances boasts some huge names this year. Charlie Puth, Brandi Carlile, and Coco Jones are set to perform ahead of the game, opening things up with the national anthem and other patriotic music. A second special opening ceremony to celebrate 60 years of the Super Bowl will feature the iconic band Green Day.
