The stage is officially set for Super Bowl LX, which will take place on February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Rematch of Super Bowl 49
This matchup brings back memories of Super Bowl XLIX. It remains one of the most debated finishes in sports history, primarily due to Seattle’s decision at the one-yard line. Trailing 28–24 in the final seconds, the Seahawks were on the verge of a back-to-back championship repeat, a feat not accomplished since the Patriots did it a decade prior. Despite having “Beast Mode” Marshawn Lynch in the backfield, who had already bruised the New England defense for 102 yards, Seattle infamously opted for a quick slant pass instead of a run.
Tom Brady, who had earlier orchestrated a masterful fourth-quarter comeback with two touchdown drives to take the lead, watched from the sidelines as Malcolm Butler intercepted the pass to seal the game.
That play didn’t just end the Seahawks’ bid for a dynasty… it broke them. While the victory cemented Brady’s legacy as the greatest of all time, the Seahawks never returned to the Super Bowl again during the Pete Carroll era, leaving fans to forever wonder why they didn’t just give the ball to number 24.
Now, eleven years later, Super Bowl LX provides the ultimate stage for a rewrite, with a new generation of stars headlined by Drake Maye and Sam Darnold.
New England Patriots Path to Super Bowl LX
The Patriots grinded out a gritty, defensive victory in the AFC Championship, overcoming both a tough opponent and a brutal Colorado snowstorm. In a game where yards were a premium and punts were frequent, quarterback Drake Maye used his legs to provide the spark, scoring the team’s only touchdown on a 6-yard keeper. The New England defense remained a brick wall in the second half, with Christian Gonzalez sealing the game with a late interception to preserve the lead. By defeating the Denver Broncos with a final score of 10–7, Mike Vrabel’s squad completed a remarkable “worst-to-first” turnaround to reach their 12th Super Bowl.
Seattle Seahawks Path to Super Bowl LX
In a stark contrast to the blizzard in Denver, the NFC Championship in Seattle was a high-flying shootout that kept fans on the edge of their seats until the final whistle. Sam Darnold turned in a masterful performance, throwing for 346 yards and three touchdowns to lead a relentless Seahawks offense. Though the game featured multiple momentum swings and a late surge from the visitors, Seattle’s defense came up with critical stops in the fourth quarter to preserve a narrow lead. The Seahawks punched their ticket to Super Bowl LX by outlasting the Los Angeles Rams in a 31–27 thriller, setting up a highly anticipated rematch of Super Bowl XLIX.

Will there be U.S. Super Bowl Commercials in Canada?
While you can watch the game in Canada, you generally will not see the official U.S. Super Bowl commercials on traditional television due to a practice called simultaneous substitution (or “simsub”).
Under CRTC rules, when a Canadian broadcaster like CTV or TSN airs the same program as an American station at the same time, they have the right to replace the American signal with their own, including Canadian advertisements. Although there was a brief window between 2017 and 2019 where the CRTC banned this practice specifically for the Super Bowl, a 2019 Supreme Court of Canada ruling overturned that ban to protect the advertising revenue of Canadian broadcasters.
We’ll have you covered with a full breakdown of the most viral Super Bowl LX commercials, from Sabrina Carpenter’s caffeinated Pringles debut to MrBeast’s wild creative takeover for Salesforce. While Canadian TV might swap the signals, we’ll be posting a comprehensive recap immediately after the game so you can catch every high-budget cameo moment you missed during the broadcast.
