The stage is set for Super Bowl LX after the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles punched their tickets with commanding victories on Championship Sunday. The Chiefs outlasted the Buffalo Bills 31-24 in a tense AFC Championship Game at Arrowhead Stadium, while the Eagles dismantled the San Francisco 49ers 34-17 in the NFC title game at Lincoln Financial Field. The matchup revives the classic Super Bowl LVII showdown from three years ago, when Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs prevailed 38-35 in one of the most memorable Super Bowls ever played.
Super Bowl LX will be held on Sunday, February 8, 2026, at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans — exactly 11 years after Super Bowl XLIX took place in the same venue. Kickoff is set for 6:30 PM ET, with broadcast rights on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.
