The Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL), played since 1966. It determines the NFL champion and has become one of the most-watched sporting events in the United States. Since 2022, the game is played on the second Sunday in February. The winning team is awarded the Vince Lombardi Trophy, named after the Green Bay Packers coach who led his team to victory in the first two Super Bowls.
Super Bowl LX, which took place on February 8, 2026, saw the Seattle Seahawks defeat the New England Patriots 29-13. The Seahawks' victory was a rematch of sorts, providing redemption for a loss over a decade prior. The game, held in Santa Clara, California, was watched by an average of 124.9 million viewers in the U.S.. The halftime show, headlined by Bad Bunny, drew an even larger audience with 128.2 million viewers. Quarterback Sam Darnold, after playing for five different teams, led the Seahawks to victory and earned his first Super Bowl ring. Kenneth Walker III was named Super Bowl MVP.
