Super Bowl LX set: Patriots to face Seahawks in a rematch at Levi’s Stadium on Feb. 8
The New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks are headed to Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., setting up a high-profile rematch. The matchup was finalized after New England’s AFC title win and Seattle’s NFC Championship victory, with kickoff scheduled for February 8, 2026.
A Super Bowl rematch is locked in
Super Bowl LX is set to feature the New England Patriots against the Seattle Seahawks, renewing a matchup that still resonates with fans more than a decade after their last championship meeting. The game will be played Sunday, February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
The Patriots earned the AFC spot by beating the Denver Broncos in the conference championship, while the Seahawks claimed the NFC title after a tight win over the Los Angeles Rams. With both teams coming off high-pressure playoff runs, the rematch angle adds a ready-made storyline to a game that already draws massive attention.
How each team got here
New England advanced out of the AFC after a low-scoring conference final, leaning on defense and situational play to finish the job. Seattle, meanwhile, survived a late push from the Rams to secure the conference crown and book its ticket to the NFL’s biggest stage.
With the matchup confirmed, the focus now shifts from bracket math to preparation: injuries, game plans, and how each coaching staff handles a week of nonstop media and logistics before kickoff.
What comes next
Super Bowl week will bring the usual flood of storylines around quarterbacks, coaching matchups and key injuries, plus the broader spectacle of events in the Bay Area. For both franchises, the stakes are obvious: a title for Seattle would validate its latest era, while a Patriots win would extend New England’s legacy into a new chapter.
