How to Watch Super Bowl 2026: Seahawks vs. Patriots TV Channel, Kickoff Time & Streaming Info

Last year's Super Bowl drew a record audience with more than 127 million U.S. viewers tuning into a blowout in the Big Game. And we can expect another record TV rating for the Super Bowl 2026 matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots.

If you're reading this, you'll likely be among them, so we're breaking down how to watch Super Bowl 2026 with all of the official TV information, streaming services, kickoff time, and more to make sure you don't miss a second of Super Bowl 60 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.

📅 When is the Super Bowl 2026?

Super Bowl 60 is set to kick off on Sunday, Feb. 8, at 6:30 p.m. ET. As is tradition, the Big Game typically falls on the second Sunday in February with a kickoff time of 6:30 p.m. ET to maximize the prime-time viewing audience for the biggest NFL game of the season.

You'll want to tune in earlier than 6:30 p.m. ET if you want to catch any of the pregame activities, including the Super Bowl national anthem and the ceremonial Super Bowl coin toss. Those are two of the most anticipated betting events of the entire season and take place shortly before kickoff.

📺 What channel is the Super Bowl televised on?

The 2026 Super Bowl will be televised on NBC for the first time since 2022, which is also the last time the network hosted the Winter Olympics. NBC is also set to televise the Super Bowl in 2030 and 2034, which will coincide with the next two Olympics.

As part of the NFL's recent media rights deal, the Super Bowl is broadcast by a different TV network every season. Last year's Big Game was televised on FOX, and next year's Super Bowl will be shown on ABC, which also owns ESPN. You can also watch the Spanish-language broadcast on Telemundo for Super Bowl 2026.

🛜 Where can I stream the Super Bowl 2026?

In addition to regular TV coverage of Super Bowl 60, NBC will also stream the 2026 Super Bowl on Peacock with its "4K All Day" feed for both the Super Bowl and the Winter Olympics on Feb. 8. You can also stream the game through NFL+ or listen to the game via NFL+, SiriusXM, or Westwood One radio stations.

For those who don't have traditional cable, you'll be able to stream the Super Bowl on most major streaming services like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, DirecTV, Sling TV, and Fubo. Even if you don't have an active subscription to one of those streaming services, most (if not all) should offer a free trial ahead of kickoff of Super Bowl 2026.

🎙️ Who will announce the Super Bowl 2026?

The Super Bowl announcers for 2026 will be Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth, who serve as the regular duo for Sunday Night Football and other NFL broadcasts on NBC. This year will mark Tirico's first time calling the Super Bowl after replacing Al Michaels as NBC's primary play-by-play announcer for football in 2022.

Incredibly, Tirico will also be calling the Winter Olympics in early February, including dual coverage of the Super Bowl and Olympics on the same night. In addition to Tirico and Collinsworth, sideline reporters Kaylee Hartung and Melissa Stark will also contribute to NBC's coverage of the 2026 Super Bowl.

🎤 What time is the Super Bowl halftime show?

While the Super Bowl halftime show doesn't have a set time, it will begin sometime shortly after the halftime intermission break for Seahawks vs. Patriots, which is expected to be sometime between 8 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. ET.

It's impossible to know exactly how long the first half will take, but most football games feature two halves of roughly 90 minutes in length, and the Super Bowl always takes longer with the pregame festivities and extended commercial breaks. That would put the expected halftime show start time at around 8:15 p.m. ET.

This year's Super Bowl halftime show features Bad Bunny and is expected to last between 20-30 minutes, which is longer than a typical NFL halftime. We break down all of the best Super Bowl halftime show prop bets ahead of this year's performance.
