Super Bowl LX: Chiefs and Eagles Set for Epic Rematch in New Orleans
February 08, 2026
The road to Super Bowl LX concluded Sunday night as the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Buffalo Bills 31-24 in the AFC Championship Game at Arrowhead Stadium, while the Philadelphia Eagles secured their place with a dominant 34-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship at Lincoln Financial Field. The matchup marks a historic rematch of Super Bowl LVII from three years ago, when Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs edged out Jalen Hurts and the Eagles in a thrilling 38-35 contest.
Super Bowl LX will take place on Sunday, February 8, 2026, at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana — exactly 11 years after Super Bowl XLIX was played in the same venue. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 PM ET, with the game broadcast on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.
Path to Super Bowl LX
Kansas City Chiefs (15-2 regular season) The Chiefs advanced to their fourth consecutive Super Bowl — a feat unmatched in the salary-cap era — behind another masterful performance from Patrick Mahomes. In the AFC Championship, Mahomes threw for 312 yards and three touchdowns while overcoming early turnovers and a hostile Bills crowd. Travis Kelce (9 receptions, 112 yards, 1 TD) and rookie running back Xavier Worthy (2 TD catches) provided the big plays, while the defense forced two late turnovers to seal the victory.
Kansas City enters as slight favorites despite facing many of the same Eagles players who nearly defeated them in 2023. Andy Reid will look to become the first head coach to win three consecutive Super Bowls.
Philadelphia Eagles (14-3 regular season) The Eagles dominated the NFC Championship behind a resurgent defense and a balanced offensive attack. Jalen Hurts completed 22 of 30 passes for 278 yards and three touchdowns, while Saquon Barkley rushed for 142 yards and a score. The Eagles' front seven sacked Brock Purdy four times and forced three turnovers.
Philadelphia has been one of the most complete teams in the league this season, ranking top-five in both offensive and defensive efficiency. Nick Sirianni's squad seeks redemption after the heartbreaking loss in Super Bowl LVII and aims to deliver the city of Philadelphia its second Lombardi Trophy.
