SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA (UNITED STATES), 08/02/2026.- Super Bowl LX start time: discover when Patriots vs. Seahawks kicks off in ET, CT, MT and PT, plus all the TV channels and streaming services showing the game live. IMAGE CREATED BY NOÉ YACTAYO WITH PERPLEXITY AI FOR DEPOR.COM

Super Bowl LX between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks is scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time on Sunday, February 8, 2026. The game will be played at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, with a local kickoff of 3:30 p.m. Pacific Time. That means fans across the United States will need to adjust for their own time zone so they do not miss the opening kickoff and national anthem.

The national English‑language broadcast will be carried by NBC, while Telemundo provides the Spanish‑language TV feed. In addition to traditional cable and satellite, the full game will stream live on Peacock, NBC’s official streaming service. Other live TV streaming platforms that carry local NBC affiliates, such as YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV and DirecTV Stream, will also offer the game in most markets, giving cord‑cutters multiple ways to watch.

Pre‑game coverage starts hours before kickoff, with NBC and Peacock beginning Super Bowl programming around 12:00 p.m. ET, including documentaries and a long pre‑game show. If you want the full experience—team arrivals, warm‑ups and extended analysis—it is worth tuning in well before 6:30 p.m. ET. However, casual viewers mainly concerned with the opening play can safely aim for about 15–20 minutes before the scheduled start.

Whether you watch on broadcast TV or via streaming, you will have access not only to the game itself but also to the halftime show and all the high‑profile commercials that have become part of Super Bowl tradition. With the Patriots and Seahawks meeting again on the biggest stage, Super Bowl LX promises a prime‑time showcase with a convenient Sunday evening start for most fans in the United States. Marking the exact time and channel in advance is the easiest way to ensure you do not miss the first snap.
