Who’s Going to Be Playing in the 2026 Super Bowl?
It is almost time for the 2026 Super Bowl, and many have already started planning the bets they will place. The Super Bowl is one of the biggest betting days of the year, with options for betting on everything from the coin flip to the Kool-Aid color that is dumped on the coach of the winning team.
But, since there is one week left of the playoffs, many are wondering what bets they can consider right now and are itching to bet on which teams might be in the Super Bowl. Although anything can happen in the last week of playoffs, we do have an inkling of who you’ll see on that pitch on February 8th. Read on to find out.
Who Will Play in the 2026 Super Bowl?
As we mentioned, there is still one week of Playoffs left, however, as it stands on January 19th, the final teams on the Super Bowl field will be two of the following:
· Seattle Seahawks
· Los Angeles Rams
· Denver Broncos
· New England Patriots
These teams are currently battling for the top spots.
That being said, there are many predictions and betting “favorites.” If you listen to current listings, the Seahawks are favored to win their game against the Rams, and the Broncos are favored to win against the Patriots, making the Super Bowl the Seahawks versus the Broncos.
Everyone has different opinions, however, and personally, while we do believe the Seahawks will win against the Rams, we aren’t sure of the Broncos versus the Patriots, as both had decent years, thus we think those looking to bet should consider both, as we might just see a Patriots versus Seahawks Super Bowl.
With sports betting, you are always taking a chance; you should do your own research before betting. But in our opinion, we think the Seahawks being one of the two teams in the Super Bowl is a better bet than either the Broncos, Patriots, or Rams. But of course, anything can happen.
Where is the 2026 Super Bowl?
The 2026 Super Bowl is taking place in Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, meaning no matter who wins the playoffs, this is not a home game for any of the teams involved.
When is the 2026 Super Bowl?
The 2026 Super Bowl will start at 3:30 pm Pacific Time on February 8th, 2026.
How Much Are Super Bowl Tickets?
Super Bowl tickets are coveted by NFL football fans around the globe, and they usually go for prices above $2,000 per person—if you can even find some. Most season ticket holders choose to attend, meaning fewer tickets flood the market than for other games during the year. Additionally, while they start at $2,000, prices can exceed $10,000 if there are tickets still available.
Not only that, but the Super Bowl is one of the most famous sporting events in the US, meaning hotel costs and flight costs will increase on the dates surrounding the game.
Where Can You Watch the Super Bowl?
Not to worry, we also gave up on our dream of snagging tickets. We assume that many in your circle will be hosting Super Bowl parties, giving you ample locations to watch the game, however if you are on your own, the Super Bowl is typically broadcast on NBC and Telemundo.
Of course, you can also head to a sports bar, and you never know when a bar in your area may be offering a special Super Bowl deal. You can also head to the city of Las Vegas and watch the Super Bowl from a sportsbook, allowing you to bet on the game until the last possible minute. Many Las Vegas Strip casinos also offer special packages for the Super Bowl so be sure to shop around so you find the best deal with the amenities you want!
What Can You Bet On in the Super Bowl?
As we mentioned in the beginning, the Super Bowl offers more betting options than any other NFL game. While you can bet on all the regular things, like the winning team and the over/under on the score, you can also bet on certain players and bet on who will score a touchdown.
But these are the basic bets available for all NFL games, and we know you want to hear the special bets. Below are some of the prop bets that are only available during the Super Bowl each year:
· Length of the national anthem
· Outcome of the coin toss
· Kool-Aid color dumped on the coach of the winning team
· What song Bad Bunny will sing as his opening number
· Which celebrities will make a special guest appearance during the halftime show
· Total number of songs sung by Bad Bunny during halftime
· The MVP
· Who the winning quarterback will mention first in the microphone after winning (yes, this is a real prop bet!)
This about covers it for this year’s prop bets, but in the past, there have been some additional crazy options, such as will Travis Kelce propose to Taylor Swift (an option when the Chiefs were in the Super Bowl ofc!)
Should You Place Super Bowl Prop Bets?
Sports betting is always a personal decision, and you should never bet money you don’t intend to lose. However, that being said, the Super Bowl is one of the best times of year to sports bet because it is the day that the most people in America place a bet.
We recommend you keep it small, only betting $5-$10 on the Gatorade color unless you have inside information, but prop bets can also make a party fun. Our favorite Super Bowl party of all time involved drawing a prepaid bet from the hosts out of a fishbowl upon arrival—and we’ve never forgotten that!
No matter who wins the coming playoffs, the Super Bowl prop bets are in full swing, so if you know exactly how Bad Bunny will open, or who he will bring onstage, it’s definitely time to place your bets!
