When and where is Super Bowl 60?

The NFL will stage the 60th edition of the Super Bowl on Sunday February 8 at Levi’s Stadium, the home of the San Francisco 49ers in Santa Clara, California.

It will be the second time the Super Bowl has been played at Levi’s Stadium following on from Super Bowl 50 in 2016 as the Denver Broncos beat the Carolina Panthers 24-10, and the third in the San Francisco Bay Area after the 49ers beat the Miami Dolphins 38-16 at Super Bowl XIX at the end of the 1984 campaign.

The Super Bowl has typically kicked off at 11.30pm UK time, with the half-time show usually around 1am.

Who are the defending Super Bowl champions?

The Philadelphia Eagles enter the 2025 campaign as Super Bowl champions after dismantling the Chiefs 40-22 to deny Andy Reid’s side a historic third straight title at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.

Jalen Hurts starred as he won Super Bowl MVP after throwing for 221 yards and two touchdowns to AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith, while Philadelphia’s No 1-ranked defense swarmed Patrick Mahomes with six sacks and 11 quarterback hits as well as intercepting him twice, including Cooper DeJean’s first-half pick-six.

Kansas City had won each of the last two Super Bowls with victories over the Eagles in 2023 before ousting the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas in 2024.

It marked the Eagles’ second Super Bowl win after they beat the New England Patriots at Super Bowl LII in 2018.

Who is performing at half-time?

Puerto Rican reggaeton star Bad Bunny will headline next year’s Super Bowl half-time show in Santa Clara, California, the NFL has announced.

Kendrick Lamar headlined the most-watched Super Bowl half-time show in history in New Orleans as 133.5m viewers tuned in to see the 22-time Grammy-winning rapper take aim at Drake, surpassing Michael Jackson’s record of 133.4m in 1993.
