It all comes down to this. The New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks will meet Feb. 8 in Super Bowl LX from Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
New England got past the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship Game despite difficult weather conditions in the second half to advance to their first Super Bowl since defeating the Los Angeles Rams in the Super Bowl following the 2018 season.
The Patriots underwent a massive year-over-year turnaround, going from 4-13 in 2024 to 14-3 in 2025, behind first-year head coach Mike Vrabel and second-year QB Drake Maye.
The Seahawks held off the Rams in the NFC Championship Game for their second win in three matchups with Los Angeles. Seattle will play in its first Super Bowl since falling to the Patriots after the 2014 season. The Seahawks won the Super Bowl the season before that against the Broncos.
The Patriots will be trying for their seventh title, which would break a tie with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most Super Bowl wins. Vrabel, who won three Super Bowls as a linebacker with the Patriots, can become the first person in NFL history to win a Super Bowl as a player and head coach with the same team. This will be the Seahawks' fourth Super Bowl appearance (one win).
