Super Bowl LX: Seahawks and Patriots Set for Historic Rematch in Santa Clara
MEXICO CITY, February 7, 2026 – The NFL world has descended upon Northern California as the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks prepare for Super Bowl LX. Scheduled for tomorrow, February 8, the championship game at Levi’s Stadium marks a high-stakes rematch of Super Bowl XLIX, occurring exactly 11 years after their iconic 2015 encounter. With the “Super Bowl Experience” concluding today at the Moscone Center, fans are bracing for a clash between Drake Maye’s Patriots and Sam Darnold’s Seahawks.
The Road to Santa Clara
Super Bowl LX (60) returns to the home of the San Francisco 49ers for the second time in the stadium’s history. The matchup is the 10th repeat pairing in Super Bowl history. While the Patriots are making their first appearance in the post-Belichick era, the Seahawks are looking to avenge their heartbreaking 2015 loss. In Mexico, the sports calendar has shifted to accommodate the event; Liga MX moved all nine Week 5 Clausura 2026 matches to Friday and Saturday to avoid a viewership conflict with tomorrow’s kickoff.
Halftime Show: A Latin Milestone
Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny is set to headline the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show. This performance marks a historic milestone as he becomes the first Latino and Spanish-speaking artist to headline the show as a solo act. Following Kendrick Lamar’s record-breaking 133.5 million viewers during Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans, industry analysts are predicting that Bad Bunny could push ratings to a new all-time high, despite the absence of previous “ratings magnets” like Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift.
