The Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots are set to compete in Super Bowl LX at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

The Seahawks, finishing the regular season with a 14–3 record, secured the NFC's top seed. They aim for their second Super Bowl title in their fourth appearance, seeking to avenge their previous loss to the Patriots in Super Bowl XLIX.

The Patriots also concluded the season at 14–3, earning the AFC's second seed. They are pursuing a league-record seventh Super Bowl title and extending their record of appearances to 12.

Seattle's defense, known as the "Dark Side," has been formidable, allowing the fewest points in the league. Key players include Leonard Williams, Ernest Jones, Devon Witherspoon, and rookie Nick Emmanwori.

Offensively, Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is supported by wide receivers Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp, along with running back Kenneth Walker.

The Patriots' defense has been equally impressive, conceding just 8.7 points per game in the playoffs. Rookie quarterback Drake Maye, at 23, is the second-youngest to start a Super Bowl and aims to become the youngest to win.

Maye's offensive weapons include wide receiver Stefon Diggs and running backs TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson.

Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel seeks his first title in that role after winning three as a player. Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald, in his second season, has guided the team back to the Super Bowl, 11 years after their previous matchup with the Patriots.

The game is scheduled to kick off at 6:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on NBC, with streaming available on Peacock.
