The countdown is officially on. Super Bowl LX lands next weekend, bringing football’s biggest night back to the Bay Area with a heavyweight rematch, a global pop icon at halftime and the usual avalanche of snacks, commercials and group texts.
Here’s your everything guide.
When is Super Bowl 2026?
Super Bowl LX kicks off Sunday, February 8, 2026, with the game starting at 6:30pm Eastern time. Pregame coverage runs for most of the day so, if you care about the anthem, coin toss or just soaking in the spectacle, tune in early.
Where is it being played?
The game takes place at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, home of the San Francisco 49ers. This marks the stadium’s second Super Bowl; it last hosted Super Bowl 50 in 2016.
Who’s playing?
It’s a rematch that football fans still argue about. The New England Patriots face the Seattle Seahawks, reviving their iconic Super Bowl XLIX showdown from 2015.
For New England, it’s their first Super Bowl appearance in seven seasons. For Seattle, it’s their first trip back since that infamous goal-line interception a decade ago.
What time does the game start?
Kickoff is set for 6:30pm Eastern time, a time slot the NFL sticks to for maximum coast-to-coast and global viewership.
How can you watch from home?
NBC has the broadcast this year, with Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth on the call.
Streaming options include Peacock, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, DirecTV Stream, Sling TV and NFL+, so cord-cutters are also fully covered.
Who’s performing at the halftime show?
Halftime belongs to Bad Bunny, headlining the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show. The six-time Grammy winner is currently on his "Debí Tirar Más Fotos" world tour and teased the performance earlier this month. Expect big energy, heavy production and a global audience.
Any other music performances?
Yes. Charlie Puth will sing the national anthem, while Green Day is set to perform during the opening ceremony.
When are the NFL awards announced?
The NFL Honors ceremony, including the league MVP, takes place Thursday, February 5, three days before kickoff.
How can I watch in person?
Brace yourself. According to TickPick, the cheapest get-in ticket is hovering just over $6,000, with average prices nearing $10,000.
Whether you’re in it for the football, the halftime show or the commercials that will dominate Monday morning conversation, Super Bowl LX is almost here. Clear your calendar—and set your snack table.
