When is the Super Bowl 2026?
Date and kickoff time for Super Bowl LX
Super Bowl LX is scheduled for Sunday, February 8, 2026, according to the official Levi’s Stadium event page. The game kicks off at 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time (3:30 p.m. Pacific), as confirmed by the Bay Area Host Committee. A West Coast conversion of 3:30 p.m. PT is also listed by Sports Illustrated.
For fans outside the Eastern time zone, the 3:30 p.m. PT kickoff means the game wraps up well before midnight — a rare gift for a Super Bowl held on the West Coast.
Time zone conversion guide
- Eastern (EST): 6:30 p.m.
- Central (CST): 5:30 p.m.
- Mountain (MST): 4:30 p.m.
- Pacific (PST): 3:30 p.m.
- London (GMT): 11:30 p.m.
These times are based on the official kickoff listed by the Bay Area Host Committee.
The implication: West Coast fans get a rare early-afternoon kickoff, while East Coast viewers still enjoy prime-time viewing without an excessively late end.
Where will the Super Bowl 2026 be held?
Levi’s Stadium overview
The venue is Levi’s Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers, located in Santa Clara, California — about 45 miles south of San Francisco. The Levi’s Stadium official site confirms Super Bowl LX is the first Super Bowl to be held at this stadium. The Wikipedia entry for Super Bowl LX also lists Santa Clara as the venue.
Bay Area Super Bowl logistics
- Santa Clara is roughly 45 miles south of downtown San Francisco (approximately 1 hour drive).
- The Bay Area Host Committee provides fan services including a help desk and the NFL OnePass app for updates (Bay Area Host Committee).
- Levi’s Stadium published fan-services hours for Super Bowl week: Sunday, February 8 from 9 AM to 1 PM PT, and Monday, February 9 from 9 AM to 12 PM PT (Levi’s Stadium official event page).
The catch: Santa Clara’s February weather is mild (averaging 60°F high), but rain is possible — fans sitting outdoors may want a light jacket.
Who is performing at the Super Bowl 2026 halftime show?
Bad Bunny confirmed
The Bay Area Host Committee identifies Bad Bunny as the halftime show headliner for Super Bowl LX. The presentation is branded as the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show (Bay Area Host Committee).
Timing and format
- The halftime show typically runs 12–15 minutes and starts around 8:00 p.m. EST (approximately 5:00 p.m. PT).
- Bad Bunny follows recent headliners like Rihanna (2023) and Usher (2024), continuing the trend of global pop superstars.
While Bad Bunny’s high-energy set will attract the Latin music fan base, some purists may miss a classic rock act — but Super Bowl halftime producers increasingly favor contemporary global appeal.
What this means: The halftime show remains a key driver of viewership and ad revenue, and Bad Bunny’s massive streaming numbers (over 60 million monthly listeners on Spotify) ensure global attention.
Who might be playing in the Super Bowl 2026?
Current odds and contenders
As of 2025, no teams have been determined for Super Bowl LX. The game will feature the AFC champion versus the NFC champion, decided by the playoffs that conclude in late January 2026. The Wikipedia page notes that the matchup is to be determined.
Early betting odds
- Wikipedia lists no specific odds for Super Bowl LX as of the latest revision.
- For context, the 2025 season (Super Bowl LIX) odds are often used as early indicators — but these are speculative.
The NFL regular season runs through early January 2026; divisional races and injury reports will shape the contender picture. Fans should track the AFC and NFC conference championship games on January 25, 2026 (tentative).
The pattern: Super Bowl matchups are rarely predictable this early, but teams like the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers often appear in futures markets.
How much do Super Bowl 2026 tickets cost?
Official ticket packages
The NFL’s official hospitality partner is On Location, and tickets are sold through Ticketmaster (Ticketmaster official Super Bowl page). The Bay Area Host Committee reports that a public on-sale occurred on Friday, October 24, 2025 at 10 AM via Ticketmaster. Packages start at several thousand dollars.
Resale market prices
- Sports Illustrated reports ticket packages starting at $7,000 per person for the Touchdown Club, and the Club 67 package starting at $17,150 per person. Some all-inclusive packages exceed $11,000 per person.
- Resale tickets on SeatGeek and StubHub range from around $7,000 to over $50,000 per ticket (Sports Illustrated).
- The NFL Ticket Exchange (powered by Ticketmaster) is the official resale marketplace (Ticketmaster).
Prices are dynamic and can spike as game day approaches. Fans should avoid unauthorized resellers and use only the NFL Ticket Exchange or verified platforms to guarantee authenticity.
Why this matters: For an average fan, even the cheapest official packages are a major investment — expect to budget at least $4,000–$5,000 per person for a basic experience.

“Bad Bunny is the halftime show headliner for Super Bowl LX, presented by Apple Music.”

For American football fans, Super Bowl LX is a concrete event with a fixed date and location — but the most exciting variables (the teams, the final ticket prices, the broadcast details) remain open. The implication for anyone planning a trip: lock in flights and accommodation early, monitor the official NFL platforms for ticket drops, and be ready for a championship matchup that won’t be known until late January 2026. For the casual viewer, mark your calendar for February 8, 2026 at 6:30 p.m. EST — the show will go on regardless of who’s playing.
