Super Bowl LX is nearly here, and the teams set to face off in the annual event have finally been determined, as the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks will compete in the match.

This is just the latest development for the Super Bowl, which previously announced that Bad Bunny would headline the halftime performance, during which he’ll serenade stadium goers as well as viewers around the country. And it has since been revealed that Green Day will kick off the game as an opening performer. But what else do we know about the Super Bowl LX so far? Below, we’re breaking down everything we know about the upcoming event.

When and where is Super Bowl LX?

Super Bowl LX is set to take place on Sunday, February 8, with the opening performance slated to begin at 6/5c, but the official game kicking off at 6:30/5:30c on NBC, Telemundo, and Peacock. For fans on site, Super Bowl LX is taking place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

Who is competing in Super Bowl LX?

As mentioned above, the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks will go head-to-head for the annual match, as the teams face off in Super Bowl LX.

Who is opening Super Bowl LX?

Green Day will kick off the big game during the opening ceremony on February 8 at 6/5c. The performance celebrates six decades of the championship’s history, with the band ushering generations of Super Bowl MVPs onto the field. Green Day is made up of Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool, the trio originally formed in the East Bay subregion of San Francisco’s Bay Area. Together, the band will play a selection of their best-known songs as part of the anniversary tribute.

“We are super hyped to open Super Bowl 60 right in our backyard!” lead singer Armstrong said in a statement for the NFL. “We are honored to welcome the MVPs who’ve shaped the game and open the night for fans all over the world. Let’s have fun! Let’s get loud!”

Where is the Super Bowl LX Halftime and when will it air?

The Super Bowl halftime presentation will take place on the field at Levi’s Stadium, but there is no exact time for the presentation, due to the unpredictable nature of football game interruptions, ranging from the highly anticipated ads to the possible flags and pauses that will unfold. This much we know for certain: Bad Bunny will perform between the second and third quarter of the game, during the halfway mark, hence the halftime title.

Who is the Super Bowl LX Halftime act?

Bad Bunny is the Grammy-winning talent set to headline the halftime show. The Puerto Rican performer has become one of the most-streamed artists around the world, especially with his album Un Verano Sin Ti. In a statement following the announcement of his headlining act, Bad Bunny said, “What I’m feeling goes beyond myself. It’s for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could come in and score a touchdown… this is for my people, my culture, and our history. Ve y dile a tu abuela, que seremos el HALFTIME SHOW DEL SUPER BOWL.”

While most know him as Bad Bunny, the star was born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, and at 31, he’s won three Grammys as well as 12 Latin Grammys. In addition to singing, Bad Bunny’s onscreen career as an actor has included roles in Bullet Train, Caught Stealing, and Happy Gilmore 2, along with more than one appearance on Saturday Night Live.

Who is putting on the Super Bowl LX Halftime?

The Super Bowl halftime is presented by Apple Music and Roc Nation. When Bad Bunny’s role as the 2026 headliner was announced, Roc Nation founder Jay-Z shared in a statement that what the singer has “done and continues to do for Puerto Rico is truly inspiring. We are honored to have him on the world’s biggest stage.” Roc Nation and Jesse Collins serve as co-producers on the halftime show, with Hamish Hamilton set to direct.
