When is the Super Bowl 2026?

It’s called Super Bowl Sunday for a reason! Mark your calendars for Sunday, February 8th, 2026

Who’s playing in Super Bowl 60?

There's two games left this season taking place on the 25th January with Denver Broncos playing the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks against Los Angeles Rams. After these games finish the winners will be confirmed as the Super Bowl finalists. Be sure to check back for the final line-up!

Super Bowl 2026 start time 

It's going to be a late one for us in the UK – kick-off is at 11:30pm GMT in the UK, much later than the 3:30pm local time for lucky fans watching in Santa Clara.

But trust us, it’s totally worth it though! If you haven’t already, now’s your chance to put in for some annual leave for the Monday after (or at least nudge any meetings you might have to the afternoon…) Super Bowl Sunday is calling!

Where is Super Bowl 60 being held?

Super Bowl LX will be played in Santa Clara, California at Levi's Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers, in 2026.

Who’s performing at the halftime show?

It’s the question that is always on everyone’s lips!

This year three-time Grammy-winning global superstar Bad Bunny will take centre stage as the halftime headliner.

But don’t worry if you can’t keep your eyes open, or head for refills on snacks and drinks, the iconic show will ultimately end up making the round on social media for days anyway!

How do I watch the Super Bowl for free?

Glad you asked! You can watch the Super Bowl 2026 for free in the UK (including the halftime show) on 5. Look out for it in your TV Guide!
