Super Bowl LX is the planned American football championship game of the National Football League (NFL) for the 2025 season. The game is scheduled to be played on February 8, 2026, at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
This will be the second Super Bowl that Levi's Stadium will host, the first being Super Bowl 50 ten years prior. The game is planned to be televised nationally by NBC.[1]
Background[edit]
Host selection[edit]
The league has made all decisions regarding hosting sites from Super Bowl LVII (held in February 2023) onward. There is no bidding process per site: the league selects a potential venue unilaterally, the chosen team puts together a hosting proposal, and then the league owners vote to determine whether it is acceptable.[2]
On May 18, 2023, it was reported that Levi's Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers, was considered the front-runner for the Super Bowl LX site.[3] On May 22, the NFL announced that Super Bowl LX will be played at Levi's Stadium.[4]
Broadcasting[edit]
United States[edit]
Television[edit]
Super Bowl LX is scheduled to be televised by NBC as part of the 11-year NFL television contract, which allows a four-year rotation between CBS, Fox, NBC, and ABC/ESPN. Under this rotation, NBC has the Super Bowl during the same years it has its Winter Olympics coverage. Super Bowl LX will be the second time after Super Bowl LVI that the game is scheduled on a date that falls within the date range of an ongoing Olympics event (and the third that the date will be on an Olympic year), the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.[1][5]
It is expected that a Spanish-language feed will air on one of NBC's sister networks, either Telemundo or Universo.[1]
Streaming[edit]
The game is planned to be streamed live on Peacock, as well as NFL+ via mobile devices.[1]
Radio[edit]
Westwood One holds the national radio rights to the game.[6]
