Super Bowl LX set for thrilling rematch
American football fans have a major event to anticipate as Super Bowl LX is set to feature the New England Patriots against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, 8 February 2026, reports BritPanorama.
This encounter at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, is a rematch from their memorable showdown in Super Bowl XLIX, where the Patriots narrowly triumphed over the Seahawks 28-24.
The stakes are high as the Patriots aim to capture their first championship since the end of the Brady-Belichick era, while the Seahawks return to the Super Bowl for the first time since back-to-back appearances in 2014 and 2015.
The halftime show is expected to be a highlight, with Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny headlining the performance. This will not be his first Super Bowl appearance; he previously joined Jennifer Lopez and Shakira in 2020. Charlie Puth is poised to perform the national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner,” prior to kickoff.
Further enhancing the event’s entertainment, Bay Area icons Green Day will participate in a pregame ceremony honouring past Super Bowl MVPs. Additionally, Brandi Carlile and Coco Jones will showcase their talents with performances of “America the Beautiful” and “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” respectively.
Both teams secured their places through impressive performances in their respective conference championships. The Patriots, led by Drake Maye, overcame the Denver Broncos in a challenging snow game, while Seattle, bolstered by Sam Darnold’s three touchdown passes, dispatched the Los Angeles Rams.
The Seahawks had an impressive season, clinching the NFC West title with a 14-3 record following their last regular season victory against the 49ers. For UK audiences, coverage of the Super Bowl will be available on Sky Sports and Channel Five.
The event traditionally kicks off at 6:30 PM ET, which translates to 11:30 PM GMT, with expectations that it will conclude around 2:30 AM GMT, although timing can be notoriously difficult to predict.
Last year’s Super Bowl attracted a record 127.7 million viewers, underscoring its status as America’s premier television event. As anticipation builds for what promises to be an electrifying Super Bowl, one can’t help but reflect on how the legacies of both teams continue to shape the storied history of the event.
