Super Bowl LX is an upcoming American football championship game of the National Football League (NFL) for the 2025 season. The game will be played at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

Contents

It will be the third Super Bowl to be held in the San Francisco Bay Area and the second at Levi's Stadium, the first being Super Bowl 50 a decade prior. The game is planned to be televised nationally by NBC. [2]

The league has made all decisions regarding hosting sites from Super Bowl LVII (held in February 2023) onward. There is no bidding process per site. The league selects a potential venue unilaterally, the chosen team puts together a hosting proposal, and then the league owners vote to determine whether it is acceptable. [3]

On May 22, 2023, the NFL announced that Super Bowl LX would be played at Levi's Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers. [4]

As has been tradition since Super Bowl LVI, the Super Bowl logo includes Roman numerals featuring imagery from the host city/region. For Super Bowl LX, the logo was revealed on February 9, 2025, in a social media post by game broadcaster NBC Sports following the conclusion of Super Bowl LIX, [5] ahead of a formal unveiling at a post-game press conference in New Orleans the next day. [6] The Roman numerals have a CMYK theme, incorporating Bay Area landmarks such as the San Francisco skyline, the Golden Gate Bridge, and redwood trees. [6]

Super Bowl week events

The Super Bowl Experience will be hosted by Moscone Center. [7]

In October 2025, it was announced that the 2026 Pro Bowl Games would be held on the Tuesday prior to the Super Bowl, February 3, at Moscone Center, downsizing the event and integrating it into the Super Bowl's festivities. [7]

Broadcasting

United States

Television

Super Bowl LX is scheduled to be televised by NBC. It will be the third Super Bowl to be broadcast as part of the 11-year NFL television contract, which allows a four-year rotation between CBS, Fox, NBC, and ABC/ESPN. Under this rotation, the league awarded NBC the Super Bowl during the same years it has its Winter Olympics coverage. Super Bowl LX will be the second time after Super Bowl LVI that the game is scheduled on a date that falls within the date range of an ongoing Olympics event (and the third that the date will be on an Olympic year and for both events to be scheduled to air on the same network), the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. [2] [8] As it has in previous years, NBC will offer bundled packages of commercial slots covering the Super Bowl, Olympics and (new for 2026) the NBA All-Star Game. [9] It is charging a base rate of $7 million for a 30-second advertisement, even with the price Fox had initially offered the previous year. [10] [2]

Streaming

The game is planned to be streamed live on Peacock, as well as NFL+ via mobile devices. [2]

Radio

Westwood One holds the national radio rights to the game. [11]

Halftime

Puerto Rican rapper and singer Bad Bunny will headline the Super Bowl LX halftime show. [18] This will be Bad Bunny's second appearance, as he had previously performed as a guest in the Super Bowl LIV halftime show headlined by Shakira and Jennifer Lopez. [1]
