Seahawks And Patriots Set For Super Bowl LX Rematch

The countdown is on for one of the most anticipated sporting spectacles of the decade: Super Bowl LX. This year, the NFL’s grand finale returns to Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on Sunday, February 8, 2026, marking the stadium’s second time hosting the big game. Football fans from around the globe are already buzzing with excitement as the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots prepare for a dramatic rematch of Super Bowl 49, bringing a wave of nostalgia and anticipation to the Bay Area.

The Patriots, fresh off a nail-biting 10-7 victory over the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship, are gunning for a record-breaking seventh Super Bowl title. Their opponents, the Seahawks, punched their ticket to the final with a hard-fought 31-27 win over the LA Rams in the NFC Championship. It’s a clash of NFL titans, and the echoes of their legendary 2014 showdown—where the Patriots edged out the Seahawks 28-24—still linger in the minds of fans. Can Seattle avenge that infamous defeat, or will New England’s dynasty continue to grow?

Super Bowl LX is set to kick off at 6:30 p.m. ET (3:30 p.m. PT), with the action broadcast live on NBC and Telemundo, and streamed on Peacock, DirecTV, NFL+, and other platforms. Viewers in the UK and Ireland can tune in at 23:30 local time, catching every moment of the action on Channel 5. For those who prefer streaming, options abound, including Hulu + Live TV and DirecTV, ensuring that fans everywhere won’t miss a single play.

But let’s be honest—the Super Bowl isn’t just about football. This year’s entertainment lineup is nothing short of star-studded. The pregame ceremonies will feature Brandi Carlile performing “America the Beautiful” and Grammy winner Coco Jones delivering a stirring rendition of “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” Pop sensation Charlie Puth will take center stage for the national anthem, setting the tone for a day of high drama and high notes.

Adding even more local flavor, Bay Area rock legends Green Day will headline the opening ceremonies with a hometown set starting at 3:00 p.m. PT. Their performance will air on NBC at 6 p.m. ET, giving fans across the country a taste of San Francisco’s rich musical heritage. Meanwhile, Teddy Swims is slated to headline the Super Bowl LX Tailgate Concert, presented by NetApp, with Bay Area rapper LaRussell opening and serving as the in-stadium house band throughout game day. The tailgate concert will be livestreamed at 3:50 p.m. ET on Peacock, making it easier than ever for fans to join in the festivities, even from afar.

Of course, the main event for music lovers is the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, headlined by Puerto Rican reggaeton superstar Bad Bunny. Fresh off his fourth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 and a sold-out world tour, Bad Bunny is poised to electrify the halftime stage. Fans still talk about his memorable guest appearance at Super Bowl LIV in 2020, and expectations are sky-high for what’s sure to be a performance packed with energy, rhythm, and surprises.

Levi’s Stadium is ready to welcome over 68,500 fans for this historic event. If you’re hoping to snag a seat, prepare for some sticker shock. Verified resale tickets are available now on Ticketmaster—the NFL’s official marketplace—and will remain on sale up to 60 minutes after kickoff. All tickets are 100% mobile, making entry and seat transfers a breeze for groups attending together. Historically, the average resale price for a Super Bowl ticket has ranged between $4,000 and $6,000, but this year’s demand is pushing prices even higher. As of now, the cheapest pairs of tickets on major secondary sites like Vivid Seats, Gametime, StubHub, SeatGeek, and Ticketmaster are going for $6,000 to $8,000 each. For those seeking the best seats in the house, expect to pay upwards of $25,000 on Ticketmaster, with some platforms listing premium club seats for over $35,000 and even $51,000 in select sections.

“Prices for Super Bowl 60 are the highest seen in quite some time,” according to recent market trackers. Last year, ticket prices for Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans dipped as game day approached, but this year’s matchup and entertainment lineup have kept demand—and prices—sky-high. Fans are encouraged to check listings frequently and purchase as soon as they find seats that fit their preferences and budget.

If you’re not planning to be at Levi’s Stadium in person, there’s still plenty of Super Bowl excitement to be had around the Bay Area. The annual Taste of the NFL event, set for Saturday, February 7 at The Hibernia in San Francisco, offers a culinary celebration featuring some of the country’s most talented chefs and opportunities to mingle with NFL greats. Hosted by Andrew Zimmern and Carla Hall, the event will benefit GENYOUth and promises to be a highlight for foodies and football fans alike.

For those following the NFL’s recent history, the Philadelphia Eagles claimed last year’s Lombardi Trophy with a convincing 40-22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. As the Eagles prepare to pass the torch, all eyes are now on the Seahawks and Patriots. Will Seattle rewrite history, or will New England cement its status as the league’s most decorated franchise?

Regardless of which side you’re rooting for, Super Bowl LX is shaping up to be a can’t-miss event. The convergence of elite football, world-class entertainment, and the electric atmosphere of Levi’s Stadium promises a spectacle worthy of the NFL’s 60th championship game. Whether you’re watching from the stands, your living room, or a lively Bay Area party, this Super Bowl rematch has all the makings of an instant classic.

With kickoff just days away, ticket prices soaring, and anticipation reaching fever pitch, one thing’s for sure: Super Bowl LX is set to deliver drama, excitement, and memories that will last a lifetime. Stay tuned as the Seahawks and Patriots get ready to battle for football’s ultimate prize under the bright lights of Santa Clara.
