The New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks are set to face off in Super Bowl LX in 2026, a matchup that could significantly alter the NFL's record books, according to CBS News. The Patriots, with six Super Bowl wins, will be vying to take sole possession of the record for most Super Bowl victories. The Seahawks, with one Super Bowl win, are hoping to add to their tally.
The 2025 Super Bowl saw the Philadelphia Eagles defeat the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22, preventing the Chiefs from achieving a historic three-peat, as reported by CBS News. This victory earned the Eagles their second Lombardi Trophy in franchise history. Their first title came in 2018, when they defeated the Patriots.
The Seahawks' sole Super Bowl win occurred in 2014, when they triumphed over the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII, according to CBS News. Their upcoming appearance in Super Bowl LX marks their fourth time in the big game, and comes 20 years after their first appearance, which ended in a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
While the game itself promises excitement, the Super Bowl also offers a platform for other events. Bad Bunny is set to perform at halftime during the Seahawks-Patriots matchup, as reported by CBS News. Despite the high-profile performance, halftime performers only receive union scale pay, which amounts to about $1,000 a day under the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists union's contract. However, the NFL typically covers the artists' expenses, which can be substantial. Bad Bunny expressed his excitement for the show, describing it as "a huge party," according to CBS News.
Beyond the game and the halftime show, the NFL is also experiencing a shift in its cultural landscape. According to former NFL tight end Benjamin Watson, athletes are increasingly using the sport's biggest stages to openly discuss their faith. "There was an idea that there were certain things that were off-limits because they might be controversial, people might think differently," Watson told Fox News Digital. "So I think that in general you're seeing young people speak more about convictions, passions than they ever were before, specifically as regards to faith."
