The Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots 29-13 in Super Bowl LX on Sunday, February 8, 2026, in Santa Clara, California, claiming their second Super Bowl title. The Seahawks' victory, a rematch more than a decade after their 2015 Super Bowl loss to the Patriots, was fueled by a strong defensive performance and a record-setting performance from kicker Jason Myers, according to CBS News.
The game, held at Levi's Stadium, saw Seahawks kicker Jason Myers convert five field goals, a Super Bowl record, while quarterback Sam Darnold threw for 202 yards and one touchdown. Running back Kenneth Walker III was named Super Bowl MVP after rushing for 135 yards, the first running back to earn the honor since an unspecified previous year, according to CBS News. The Seahawks' defense, led by players like Devon Witherspoon, Derick Hall, and Byron Murphy, "pummeled" Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, according to ABC News. Uchenna Nwosu sealed the defensive performance by intercepting Maye's pass.
The victory marked the Seahawks' second Super Bowl win in franchise history, and their fourth appearance in the big game, according to CBS News. The win also denied the Patriots what would have been their seventh Super Bowl win, a league-leading record. The Seahawks' first Super Bowl appearance, which ended in a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, occurred 20 years prior to this victory, according to CBS News.
The Super Bowl halftime show featured a performance by Bad Bunny, who brought his Puerto Rican culture to the stage at Levi Stadium. The Grammy-winning artist performed a collection of his hit songs, including "Tití Me Preguntó," and wore an all-white jersey-like outfit with "Ocasio" on the back, representing his last name, according to ABC News. Simultaneously, conservative advocacy group Turning Point USA hosted a counterprogrammed halftime show headlined by Kid Rock, featuring performances from Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett, according to ABC News.
