Super Bowl LX was an American football game played to determine the champion of the National Football League (NFL) for the 2025 season. The National Football Conference (NFC) champion Seattle Seahawks defeated the American Football Conference (AFC) champion New England Patriots 29–13. The game took place on February 8, 2026, at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, the second Super Bowl held in the stadium and the third held in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The Seahawks' victory was their second, previously having won 2013's Super Bowl XLVIII during their Legion of Boom era. Led by their Dark Side defense, they were making their fourth appearance with a 14–3 record and the NFC's top seed. The Patriots, who finished with a 14–3 record and the AFC's second seed, extended their record of appearances to 12. They were seeking a record seventh title and their first since the Brady–Belichick era after last winning 2018's Super Bowl LIII. The two franchises previously met in Super Bowl XLIX, which was won by the Patriots.
Seattle scored the only points of the first three quarters, converting four field goals to take a 12–0 lead. In the fourth quarter, the Seahawks scored the first touchdown of the game before the Patriots responded with their own touchdown to cut the score to 19–7. A series of New England turnovers, however, allowed the Seahawks to score 10 consecutive points and put the game out of reach. With the loss, the Patriots became the first team to lose six Super Bowls. Running back Kenneth Walker III was named Super Bowl MVP after rushing for 135 yards and helping set up several of Seattle's field goals. He was the first running back to win the award since Terrell Davis in 1997's Super Bowl XXXII.
The game was broadcast on NBC in addition to streaming on NBCUniversal's Peacock. It became NBC's most-watched program in its history at around 125 million viewers worldwide and peaked at around 137 million worldwide, a 2% (~2 million viewers) decline from Super Bowl LIX a year prior. Similarly, the Super Bowl LX halftime show headlined by the Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny and featured Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin also represented a decline in viewership by 4% (~5 million viewers) at 128 million viewers. After the game, several sports outlets referred to the game as being among the worst Super Bowls due to both teams' offensive struggles, although the performance of the Seahawks defense was praised.
