Patriots vs. Seahawks: A Super Bowl Rematch
It didn’t take long for the New England Patriots to return to football’s biggest stage following the end of the Tom Brady–Bill Belichick era. After winning their sixth championship in 2019, New England is back in the Super Bowl just seven years later, led by quarterback Drake Maye in his second NFL season and Mike Vrabel in his first year as head coach.
The Seattle Seahawks are making their first Super Bowl appearance since their dramatic loss to the Patriots in 2015. That game famously ended when Russell Wilson’s late pass was intercepted at the goal line, sealing a 28–24 victory for New England.
Now, the two teams meet again in a highly anticipated rematch at Super Bowl LX.
Who’s Playing in Super Bowl LX?
Super Bowl LX features the AFC champion New England Patriots against the NFC champion Seattle Seahawks. Their last Super Bowl matchup came in 2015, when the Patriots erased a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit and won the game in the final minute.
Who Is Performing at the Super Bowl Halftime Show?
Global superstar Bad Bunny will headline the halftime show at the 2026 Super Bowl.
Super Bowl Sunday will also feature several pregame performances:
Green Day will take the stage shortly before kickoff
Charlie Puth will perform the National Anthem
Brandi Carlile will sing America the Beautiful
Coco Jones will perform Lift Every Voice and Sing
Who’s Calling the Game?
NBC’s broadcast team of Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth will handle play-by-play and commentary. They’ll be joined on the sidelines by Melissa Stark and Kaylee Hartung.
How Much Are Super Bowl Tickets?
Attending the Super Bowl in person comes at a steep price. As of late January, the lowest ticket prices on resale sites like StubHub were over $6,000 per seat. Compared to that, the cost of streaming the game may suddenly feel like a bargain.

Over-the-air antenna to watch your local NBC station for free
How to Watch Super Bowl LX in 4K

How to Watch the Super Bowl With a VPN
If you’re unable to access NBC or Peacock due to location restrictions, a VPN with a U.S.-based server may help. A VPN allows you to change your virtual location on your phone, tablet, or computer, which can resolve regional blackout or location-based access issues.
Using a VPN is legal in countries where VPNs are permitted, including the United States and Canada. However, you must still have a valid subscription to the streaming service you’re accessing, and improperly bypassing blackout restrictions could violate a platform’s terms of service.
