Which Teams Will Play in Super Bowl LX?
The 2025–26 NFL season reaches its ultimate stage. The Super Bowl LX is a matchup between two franchises with deep championship history and the crowning of this season’s NFL champion.
Everything is set for the biggest night in the NFL. Super Bowl LX has its protagonists: the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots will face off in a final rich with history, pressure, and a sense of revenge. With the championship on the line and the world watching, both teams arrive after navigating demanding playoff runs and now prepare for a clash where every possession can define a legacy.
The Seahawks’ Path
The Seattle Seahawks delivered an outstanding regular season, finishing with a 14–3 record that earned them first place in the NFC and the No. 1 seed heading into the playoffs.
In the postseason, Seattle kept its momentum alive. In the NFC Championship Game, the Seahawks defeated the Los Angeles Rams 31–27, securing their second Super Bowl appearance since 2014.
This will be the Seahawks’ fourth trip to the Super Bowl, and they arrive with significant confidence after a season marked by consistent and dominant defensive performances.
The Patriots’ Path
On the other side, the New England Patriots also enjoyed an elite campaign, closing the regular season at 14–3 to claim the AFC title and punch their ticket to the NFL’s biggest stage.
In the AFC Championship Game, the Patriots edged the Denver Broncos 10–7, a victory that sends New England back to the Super Bowl for the first time since the Brady–Belichick era, while reaffirming their status as one of the league’s most historic franchises.
Super Bowl LX will mark the Patriots’ 12th Super Bowl appearance, the most by any franchise in NFL history.
What’s at Stake
For the Seahawks, this Super Bowl represents a chance to capture a second Lombardi Trophy, their first since winning Super Bowl XLVIII in the 2013 season.
The rematch against New England carries added emotional weight. Seattle fell to the Patriots in Super Bowl XLIX in 2015 by a narrow 28–24 score, a loss that remains unforgettable in the Pacific Northwest.
For the Patriots, the stakes are framed by history. New England already owns six Super Bowl titles, placing the franchise among the greatest dynasties the NFL has ever seen.
A victory in Super Bowl LX would not only break the tie with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most championships in league history, but also cement a full return to the top of the NFL after several seasons of ups and downs.
A Final Built for History
Super Bowl LX will be more than just a game. It is a collision between two teams that overcame expectations and obstacles to reach football’s grandest stage. Physical defenses, efficient offenses, and two very different narratives—one chasing a second title, the other pursuing a historic record—define the buildup to the big day.
On Sunday, February 8, 2026, from Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, the Seahawks and Patriots will look to etch their names into NFL history.
