A familiar pairing, a new era
Super Bowl LX will feature the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks, renewing a rivalry from their memorable 2015 championship meeting but with a very different cast. The NFL’s title game is scheduled for Sunday, February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
For New England, the run marks a striking return to the sport’s biggest stage. The Patriots reached the Super Bowl by leaning on defense and winning close, with second-year quarterback Drake Maye guiding an offense that has sometimes been more effective at surviving moments than dominating them. Head coach Mike Vrabel, in his first season leading the team, now has a chance to make franchise history.
How Seattle got here
Seattle advanced behind quarterback Sam Darnold, whose season has rewritten expectations after a winding career path. In the NFC championship, the Seahawks outlasted the Los Angeles Rams, setting up a Super Bowl appearance that arrives more than a decade after the franchise’s last trip to the game.
The result is a championship clash built around contrasts: New England’s defensive identity versus Seattle’s big-play capacity, and a young Patriots quarterback facing a veteran Seahawks passer playing some of the best football of his career.
