Super Bowl LX is an upcoming American football championship game that will be played between the National Football Conference (NFC) champion Seattle Seahawks and the American Football Conference (AFC) champion New England Patriots to determine the champion of the National Football League (NFL) for the 2025 season. A rematch of Super Bowl XLIX, the game will be played at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

New England advanced to its twelfth Super Bowl appearance and first appearance since Super Bowl LIII in 2019; this will mark the franchise's first Super Bowl in the post Brady-Belichick era. The Patriots vastly improved upon their 2024 season with their new head coach and veteran Patriots' player, Mike Vrabel, who had previously won Super Bowls XXXVI, XXXVIII, and XXXIX.[4] Vrabel became the eighth coach in NFL history to reach a Super Bowl in his first year, the seventh Super Bowl head coach in NFL history to have previously won one as a player, and second under the same organization. New England is seeking its seventh Super Bowl title, one that would break a tie with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most Super Bowl championships.

For Seattle, the franchise also improved upon its 2024 record en route to its fourth Super Bowl appearance, and their first in eleven years. The Seahawks seek their second Super Bowl title as well as to avenge their notorious Super Bowl loss against the Patriots in 2015.[5]

Super Bowl LX will be the third Super Bowl to be held in the San Francisco Bay Area and the second at Levi's Stadium, the first being Super Bowl 50 a decade prior. The game will be televised nationally by NBC.[6]

Background

Host selection

Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, the venue of the game

The league has made all decisions regarding hosting sites from Super Bowl LVII (held in February 2023) onward. There is no bidding process per site. The league selects a potential venue unilaterally, the chosen team puts together a hosting proposal, and then the league owners vote to determine whether it is acceptable.[7]

On May 22, 2023, the NFL announced that Super Bowl LX would be played at Levi's Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers.[8]

As has been tradition since Super Bowl LVI, the Super Bowl logo includes Roman numerals featuring imagery from the host city/region. For Super Bowl LX, the logo was revealed on February 9, 2025, in a social media post by game broadcaster NBC Sports following the conclusion of Super Bowl LIX,[9] ahead of a formal unveiling at a post-game press conference in New Orleans the next day.[10] The Roman numerals have a CMYK theme, incorporating Bay Area landmarks such as the San Francisco skyline, the Golden Gate Bridge, and redwood trees.[10]

Super Bowl week events

The Super Bowl Experience will be hosted at the Moscone Center.[11]

In October 2025, it was announced that the 2026 Pro Bowl Games would be held on the Tuesday prior to the Super Bowl, February 3, at the Moscone Center, downsizing the event and integrating it into the Super Bowl's festivities.[11]

Teams

Seattle Seahawks

After a 10–7 season and just barely missing the playoffs in 2024, the Seahawks started a rebuild. In the off-season, Schneider traded longtime starter Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders and signed Sam Darnold to a three-year, $100.5 million contract.[12] Other moves include the trade of DK Metcalf to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the release of Tyler Lockett, the pickup of Cooper Kupp during free agency, and the trade for Rashid Shaheed from the New Orleans Saints just before the trade deadline.[13][14][15][16]

Seattle’s ‘Dark Side’ defense led the league in fewest points allowed during the regular season.[17][18] Year two of the Mike Macdonald regime saw the Seahawks jump from above-average on defense into a dominant force, with DT Leonard Williams, LB Ernest Jones, and CB Devon Witherspoon all making second team All-Pro.[19] Despite leading the league in turnover with 20,[20] Pro-Bowl quarterback Sam Darnold helmed the offense in the first season of offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak. Like his father, who coincidentally won the last Super Bowl played at Levi Stadium,[21] Klint Kubiak emphasized an outside-zone running scheme.[22] They were four in rushing attempts,[23] led by a back-field that started off as a split between Kenneth Walker and Zack Charbonnet, but a Charbonnet injury in the playoffs saw Walker take on full responsibility.[24] Jaxon Smith-Njigba, in his third season, became a premier wide receiver. He led the league in yards with 1,793, caught 10 touchdowns, and was unanimously named to the first team All-Pro.[25] Rounding out their All-Pros was punter Michael Dickson (second team). Their five All-Pro selections were the most for the team since 2015.[26]

The Seahawks are making their fourth Super Bowl appearance in franchise history. They have gone 1–2 in their previous appearances, winning their only Super Bowl against the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII at Metlife Stadium. GM John Schneider is the first general manager in NFL history to make multiple Super Bowls with the same franchise while having a completely new roster and head coach.[27]

New England Patriots

After back-to-back 4–13 seasons, the Patriots hired Mike Vrabel as head coach on January 12, 2025.[28] Vrabel previously won Super Bowls XXXVI, XXXVIII, and XXXIX for the team during the Brady-Belichick era as a linebacker. The team started 1–2, but then proceeded to win 10 straight games and 13 of their final 14 games to clinch the AFC East and the No. 2 seed in the conference. New England's 14–3 finish tied the Denver Broncos for the conference's best record; however, Denver earned the No. 1 seed based on tiebreakers.

New England was led by second-year quarterback Drake Maye. Vrabel's hope that Maye would reach his potential was realized this season. He threw for 4,394 yards, led the league in completion percentage and passer rating, to go along with 31 touchdown passes and just 8 interceptions. He added 450 yards and 4 more touchdowns on the ground.[29] For his season, he was selected to the second team All-Pro.[30] Rhamondre Stevenson and rookie TreVeyon Henderson split a back-field that struggled with inconsistency and fumbles early, but improved as the season went along.[31][32] Veteran receiver Stefon Diggs led the team in receptions (85) and yards (1,013) in his first season with the team. Linebacker Robert Spillane, also in his first season with New England, helped lead a top defense against the run. In just 13 games played, he led the team in tackles with 97 total.[33][34] Jaylinn Hawkins led the team in interceptions. Cornerback and punt returner Marcus Jones was the team’s only other All-Pro (second team and as a punt returner).[35]

New England is making its league-leading twelfth Super Bowl appearance. This is their first Super Bowl since Super Bowl LIII and first without Tom Brady or Bill Belichick since Super Bowl XXXI.[36] Drake Maye will be the youngest quarterback to start a Super Bowl since Dan Marino in Super Bowl XIX.[37] The Patriots have averaged 18.0 PPG this postseason, the fewest by any team to make the Super Bowl since the 1979 Rams (15.0).[38] Oppositely, they allowed the fewest points scored in the Wild Card, Divisional, and Conference Championship Games en route to a Super Bowl appearance in NFL history.[39]

Playoffs

The Seahawks entered the playoffs as the No. 1 seed in the NFC and earned a first-round bye. In the Divisional Round, they defeated the San Francisco 49ers, 41–6. In the NFC Championship Game, the Seahawks beat the Los Angeles Rams, 31–27.

The Patriots went into the playoffs as the No. 2 seed in the AFC. In the Wild Card Round, they defeated the Los Angeles Chargers, 16–3.[40] In the Divisional Round, they defeated the Houston Texans, 28–16. In the game, the Patriots' defense five turnovers was the most for New England in a playoff game since the 2003 AFC Championship Game.[41] In the AFC Championship Game, the Patriots defeated the Denver Broncos, 10–7.[42]

Pre-game notes

The game will be a rematch of Super Bowl XLIX, which was played 11 years earlier, in which the Patriots defeated the Seahawks, 28–24, highlighted by Malcolm Butler's interception of Russell Wilson at the 1-yard line.[43] The Super Bowl rematch features no players from either team from the 2015 match-up. Josh McDaniels, serving his third stint as Patriots offensive coordinator, held that position during his second stint with the Patriots in Super Bowl XLIX.

This is the third Super Bowl in the San Francisco Bay Area. Super Bowl XIX, played at Stanford Stadium on January 20, 1985, was won by San Francisco 49ers, 38–16, over the Miami Dolphins. More recently, Super Bowl 50, played at Levi Stadium on February 7, 2016, featured the Denver Broncos defeating the Carolina Panthers, 24–10. New England's quarterback Drake Maye attended Super Bowl 50, growing up a Carolina Panthers fan.[44]

The Seahawks have the opportunity to win the Super Bowl at the home of their division rival, the San Francisco 49ers.[45] Meanwhile, quarterback Sam Darnold is 0-4 lifetime against the New England Patriots, having thrown 9 interceptions in the four games. Darnold was previously in the Patriots division, the AFC East, starting his career with the New York Jets.[46] In a 2019 Monday Night Football game, a struggling Sam Darnold said he was "seeing ghosts" against the New England, a phrase he became known for before a career resurgence with Minnesota and Seattle.[47][48][49]

With the exception of Super Bowl XLIX, each of the Seahawks' Super Bowl appearances coincided with the election of a new pope the preceding spring. The Seahawks' debut appearance at Super Bowl XL was preceded by the election of Pope Benedict XVI. Their first championship at Super Bowl XLVIII was preceded by the election of Pope Francis. Their appearance at Super Bowl LX was preceded by the election of Pope Leo XIV. In each of the seasons following the papal election, the Seahawks won 13 games and finished as the NFC's top seed.[50]

Broadcasting

United States

Television

Super Bowl LX is scheduled to be televised by NBC. It will be the third Super Bowl to be broadcast as part of the 11-year NFL television contract, which allows a four-year rotation between CBS, Fox, NBC, and ABC/ESPN. Under this rotation, the league awarded NBC the Super Bowl during the same years it has its Winter Olympics coverage. Super Bowl LX will be the second time after Super Bowl LVI that the game is scheduled on a date that falls within the date range of an ongoing Olympics event (and the third that the date will be on an Olympic year and for both events to be scheduled to air on the same network), the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.[6][51] As it has in previous years, NBC will offer bundled packages of commercial slots covering the Super Bowl, Olympics and (new for 2026) the NBA All-Star Game.[52] It is charging a base rate of $7 million for a 30-second advertisement, even with the price Fox had initially offered the previous year.[53][6]

Super Bowl LX will be the sixth that Cris Collinsworth has called as a broadcaster — and the 5th Super Bowl he will call involving the Patriots.[54] This will be play-by-play announcer Mike Tirco second Super Bowl.

Streaming

The game is planned to be streamed live on Peacock, as well as NFL+ via mobile devices.[6]

Radio

Westwood One holds the national radio rights to the game.[55]

Entertainment

Pregame

East Bay-based rock band Green Day will lead off the decennial tradition, which started with Super Bowl XX, in which past Super Bowl Most Valuable Players are honored before the game.[57][58]

The NFL is also expected to hold ceremonies celebrating the United States Semiquincentennial.[59] Pop singer Charlie Puth will sing the national anthem accompanied by American Sign Language performer Fred Beam; Americana singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile will sing "America the Beautiful", accompanied by sign language performer Julian Ortiz; and R&B singer and daughter of former defensive lineman Mike Jones, Coco Jones, will sing "Lift Every Voice and Sing".[60][61][62][63] The anthem is expected to conclude with a historic joint U.S. Air Force/U.S. Navy combined flyover which will include two B-1B Lancers from Ellsworth Air Force Base (South Dakota), two F-15C Eagles from the California Air National Guard, two F/A-18E Super Hornets and two F-35C Lightning IIs from Naval Air Station Lemoore (California). The Department of Defense has announced that the flyover is to celebrate 250 years of the U.S. Armed Forces defending freedom.[64]

Halftime

Puerto Rican rapper and singer Bad Bunny will headline the Super Bowl LX halftime show.[65] This will be Bad Bunny's second appearance, as he had previously performed as a guest in the Super Bowl LIV halftime show headlined by Shakira and Jennifer Lopez.[3]
