Updated Jan. 26
The 2025-26 NFL season has reached its main event: Super Bowl LX. The NFC Champion Seattle Seahawks take on the AFC Champion New England Patriots.
The two franchises will meet for the second time in the Super Bowl. New England bested Seattle in Super Bowl XLIX thanks to a last-second, goal line interception in one of the most dramatic endings to a Super Bowl in history.
Though the rosters look much different, this year’s matchup promises to be just as competitive.
And if the game weren’t entertaining enough, global sensation Bad Bunny headlines the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show. It’s the second appearance for the Grammy winner, who is fresh off a 23-stop world tour.
Find out what time and where to tune into on game day, Sunday, February 8, 2026.

WHO IS IN THE SUPER BOWL THIS YEAR?
The Super Bowl will feature the NFC Champion Seattle Seahawks against the AFC Champion New England.
Seattle won a thriller at home against their division rival, the Los Angeles Rams.
Sam Darnold and Jaxon Smith-Njigba were unstoppable, while Kenneth Walker III chipped in 111 yards from scrimmage and a rushing score. On the other side of the ball, Seattle’s defense won the turnover battle and delivered timely stops to secure the win.
In the AFC, the Patriots grinded out a 10-7 win over the Broncos in snowy Denver. The game featured 14 punts, four missed field goals and less than 400 total yards.
The Patriots grabbed a 10-7 lead early in the fourth quarter and they never let it go. New England’s defense became impenetrable as the conditions worsened.
New England has endured a gauntlet of the league’s best defenses on their road to the Super Bowl, and now they get the league’s best unit in the Seattle Seahawks for the finale.
