Patriots vs. Seahawks start time: Super Bowl Sunday 2026 kickoff, TV channel, where to stream and more

The New England Patriots will face the Seattle Seahawks at Super Bowl LX, with kickoff scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET on Feb. 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, CA. Despite the fact that the Big Game is happening smack dab in the middle of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy, it’s still likely going to be the most-watched sports event of the week. A record 127 million viewers watched last year’s game, and the number of Super Bowl viewers has grown steadily for the past five years – as ratings go, it certainly won’t hurt that Bad Bunny, the most-streamed artist in the world and now winner of Album of the Year at the 2926 Grammys, is headlining halftime.

The 2026 Super Bowl will be broadcast on NBC and will stream live on Peacock. Here’s what you need to know to tune in to Super Bowl LX when it airs on Feb. 8.
