Santa Clara, California, United States- Super Bowl Sunday 2026 will be held on Feb. 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, as the National Football League stages its championship game in the San Francisco Bay Area for the first time in a decade, according to the league. The game will conclude the 2025 NFL season and is expected to draw tens of thousands of fans and a global television audience.
The matchup, officially designated as Super Bowl LX, will feature the champions of the American Football Conference and National Football Conference following the league’s postseason playoffs. Kickoff is scheduled for the evening local time, consistent with recent Super Bowl formats, the league said.
Local and state officials have begun preparations across the region, citing significant demands on transportation, security, and hospitality infrastructure. The Bay Area last hosted the Super Bowl in 2016, when the event generated hundreds of millions of dollars in regional economic activity, according to post-event estimates released at the time.
Travel and accommodation costs are already rising ahead of the game, with hotels across Santa Clara, San Jose, and San Francisco reporting limited availability for Super Bowl weekend. Tourism officials said large-scale fan events and corporate activations are planned throughout the week leading up to the game.
The NFL said the league is coordinating with municipal agencies and law enforcement to manage crowd control and public safety, noting that Super Bowl week typically includes concerts, media events, and community programs in addition to the game itself.
Broadcast rights for the 2026 Super Bowl rest with national television partners under the NFL’s rotating media agreements, with international distribution expected across more than 180 countries.
Further details on official events, security advisories, and transportation plans are expected to be released closer to kickoff.
