It’s time for one of the greatest shows on Earth as the Seattle Superhawks face the New England Patriots in California in Sunday night’s Super Bowl!
Super Bowl LX Preview
The 2026 game between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots is a rematch of Super Bowl XLIX. In that one back in 2015, considered an all-time classic, it’s best remembered for Malcolm Butler’s goal-line interception.
It’s pretty unusual for teams to meet again on the biggest stage more than a decade later, especially with mostly new players on both sides.
So, when does Super Bowl LX start? It's scheduled for Sunday, 8 February, at 23:30 GMT. The location - San Jose Convention Centre in California. Sky Sports Main Event/NFL Network will provide live coverage for the UK crowd.
Betting on Super Bowl 2026
The Seattle Seahawks are the 1.4 favourites, with the New England Patriots available at 2.75. These are the same two sides that contested the Super Bowl in 2015, which the Patriots won 28-24. The MVP in that one? No surprise to find out it was the great Tom Brady.
And he might grab the MVP title again. Odds on Brady are 1.44. a shorter-priced favourite than what we normally get in the Super Bowl betting odds.

Is it one that makes sense, though? The Seahawks were, after all, the top seed. They're known for their balanced offensive attack and resilient defence. But the Patriots matched their 14-3 regular season record.
Historically, they have been far more successful in the Super Bowl than Seattle. They’ve won it six times while the Seahawks have been victorious just once, in 2014. That said, the Patriots did have the golden Brady–Belichick partnership for many of those wins, and that’s no longer the case.
If the Seahawks are beautifully balanced both in offense and defense, this Patriots team are real grinders, never giving an inch and never giving up, maintaining a disciplined, ball-control approach. They won a low-scoring AFC Championship victory (10-7) against the Denver Broncos in snowy conditions to make it to the big game, further proof of how tough they are to beat.
In other Super Bowl betting markets, the Seahawks are -4.5 on the points spread (the Patriots are 1.91 with +4.5), and you can get a price boosted 3.75 with Betfred that the Patriots score in all four quarters.
The same betting site also offers an enhanced 3.4 that Jaxon Smith-Njigba & Stefon Diggs (of the Patriots) Combine For 200+ Receiving Yards. For those who like this sort of thing: Diggs is the boyfriend of singer Cardi B.
Smith-Njigba is also the second favourite at 7.5 to score the first touchdown, with Kenneth Walker III the 5.0 favourite.
But there are literally hundreds of betting markets available, including alternative handicaps, correct scores, and player props covering every angle of the game.
When half-time comes, look out for the much-awaited performance of Bad Bunny, the first-ever Spanish-language headliner in Super Bowl history.
