Super Bowl LX is set for Feb. 8, showcasing the New England Patriots vs. Seattle Seahawks in Santa Clara’s Levi’s Stadium. The game airs on NBC and Peacock, with halftime headliner Bad Bunny guaranteed to electrify the stage. Here’s your definitive guide to kickoff, streaming, musical performances, and how this historic clash could shape NFL legacy.
The Game: Patriots vs. Seahawks — A Clash of Old and New NFL Eras
The 2026 Super Bowl marks more than just the 60th edition of the Big Game — it’s a crossroads of NFL history. The New England Patriots, led by longtime champions like Stefon Diggs and rookie QB Drake Maye, represent an evolving dynasty clashing with the Seattle Seahawks, who have re-emerged as contenders under a new coaching philosophy and defensive prowess. This matchup revisits a rivalry that defined the 2010s, visible in their helmets lined up in Santa Clara ahead of kickoff.
While New England aims to reclaim past dominance, Seattle seeks its first title since 2013. The state of California — where Green Day will open the festivities in their home state — becomes the ultimate battleground for legacy, youth, and the relentless storylines only a Super Bowl can deliver.
What Time Does Super Bowl LX Start?
Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. ET / 3:30 p.m. PT on Sunday, February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.

Music Hits the Field: Bad Bunny, Coco Jones, and a California Salute
The opening ceremony kicks off at 6 p.m. ET with Green Day performing in their home state — a rare treat in Super Bowl history blending California energy with football fervor. Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong described the honor: “We are super hyped to open Super Bowl 60 right in our backyard… Let’s have fun! Let’s get loud!”
The anthem cocoon is woven by Charlie Puth singing “The Star-Spangled Banner”, Brandi Carlile with “America the Beautiful”, and Coco Jones performing “Lift Every Voice and Sing” on the nation’s biggest stage.
But the crown jewel? Puerto Rican icon Bad Bunny, making his Super Bowl Halftime Show debut around 8 p.m. ET. His magnetic showmanship and global appeal position this halftime as a cultural highlight, just as the teams battle for dominance in the second half.
