When is the 2026 Super Bowl? Patriots vs. Seahawks start time, TV channel, where to stream and more

The New England Patriots needed a few years to rebuild after the departures of Belichick and Brady, and boy did they do it. The AFC champions, led by quarterback Drake Mays, will face the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX. The two teams also met in the 2014 Super Bowl where the Pats defeated the Seahawks 28–24. This time, with Sam Darnold leading the Seahawks offense, will things be different? We’ll find out when the teams meet on Sunday, February 8 at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, CA. The game is scheduled to begin at 6:30 PM ET.

The 2026 Super Bowl will be broadcast on NBC and streamed live on Peacock.

Here’s everything you need to know to watch Super Bowl LX when it airs on February 8.
