Updated: Congratulations to the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots advance to Super Bowl LX.
Super Bowl LX, set for Sunday, February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. With the NFL championship approaching, excitement isn’t just about which teams will play — it’s also about one of the most talked‑about halftime shows in years.
After a thrilling playoff season, the remaining teams vying for the championship are:
- AFC Championship: New England Patriots vs. Denver Broncos
- NFC Championship: Los Angeles Rams vs. Seattle Seahawks
The winners of these matchups will face off in Super Bowl LX. Fans are keeping a close eye on players and coaches, as this year’s playoffs have been full of dramatic moments, injuries, and standout performances.
Every year, the Super Bowl brings friends and family together to celebrate football, enjoy great food, and host watch parties. Local establishments throughout our area are planning gatherings where fans can catch the big game on big screens. Classic game‑day fare like chicken wings, chips and dip, charcuterie boards, and football‑shaped desserts will be on many menus.
In Falls Church City, the 8th Annual Super Bowl Watch Party at Settle Down Easy Brewing promises free pizza and wings for attendees while supplies last (bring your own tailgate favorites too). Groups of eight or more are encouraged to RSVP at the Eventbrite link provided by the venue.
Aside from what can we say about the Commanders? Two new players have emerged to play in the halftime slots but not on the same field. Every Super Bowl has its own pop culture chatter.
The official Super Bowl LX Apple Music Halftime Show will be headlined by global music star Bad Bunny, marking a highly anticipated moment for the Super Bowl stage. Apple Music and the NFL released an official trailer showing Bad Bunny dancing in his native Puerto Rico to his song “BAILE INoLVIDABLE,” with people of diverse backgrounds joining him under a flamboyant tree — a symbol of pride and culture. The theme teased in the trailer is unity, rhythm, and celebration, with the tagline “On February 8, the world will dance.”
The performance will feature a multicultural showcase of music and movement designed to engage audiences around the globe. Additionally, Charlie Puth will sing the national anthem, Brandi Carlile will perform “America the Beautiful,” and Coco Jones will sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”
The selection of a solo Latin artist as the Super Bowl halftime show headliner for the first time underscores the increasing significance of global music and cultural trends.
In addition to the NFL’s official entertainment plans, Turning Point USA — a conservative nonprofit organization — has announced that it will host a separate halftime event on February 8 called the “All American Halftime Show” to celebrate “faith, family, and freedom.”
Bad Bunny’s selection has generated considerable attention from fans and critics alike. Some see it as a historic and inclusive moment for the Super Bowl stage, while others have voiced differing opinions, resulting in varied reactions on social media and in public discourse. Regardless of perspective, the halftime show — including both official and alternative programming — is shaping up to be an integral part of Super Bowl Sunday conversation.
Whether you’re tuning in for the football action or planning to watch the halftime show, Northern Virginia offers plenty of community‑centric events and parties. From neighborhood gatherings to organized watch parties at local breweries and sports bars, Super Bowl Sunday is a time for neighbors to come together and celebrate.
