This would be the second Super Bowl that Levi's Stadium would be host, the first time being Super Bowl 50 ten years earlier. The game is planned to be televised nationally by NBC.[1]
Host selection
The league has made all decisions regarding hosting sites from Super Bowl LVII (held in February 2023) onward. There is no bidding process per se: the league selects a potential venue unilaterally, the chosen team puts together a hosting proposal, and then the league owners vote to determine whether it is acceptable.[2]
On May 18, 2023, it was reported that Levi's Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers, was considered the front-runner for the Super Bowl LX site.[3] On May 22, the NFL announced that Super Bowl LX will be played at Levi's Stadium.[4]
Broadcasting
Super Bowl LX is scheduled to be televised by NBC as part of the 11-year NFL television contract, which allows a four-year rotation between CBS, Fox, NBC, and ABC/ESPN. Under this rotation, NBC has the Super Bowl during the same years it has its Winter Olympics coverage. Super Bowl LX will be the second time after Super Bowl LVI that the game is scheduled on a date that falls within the date range of an ongoing Olympics event, the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.[1][5]
It is expected that a Spanish-language feed will air on one of NBC's sister networks, either Telemundo or Universo.[1]
The game is planned to be streamed live on Peacock, as well as NFL+ via mobile devices.[1]
