SUPER Bowl LX will be part of a huge week of sports on NBC.

The NFL showpiece will take center stage at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

    The home of the San Francisco 49ers will stage the event on Sunday 8 February 2026.

    More than 127 million people tuned into Super Bowl LIX on Fox.

    And next year’s game is expected to be watched by a similarly large audience.

    And NBC will hope to capitalize on a massive week for the network.

    As was the case in 2022, they will show the Super Bowl at the same time as the Winter Olympics.

    The 2026 Winter Olympic Games take place in Milan, Italy from February 6 to 22.

    NBC recently enjoyed huge audiences for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

    And the 2026 winter meet will be held in Europe again – meaning another big audience is likely.

    During the 2022 Super Bowl, NBC presented studio coverage from the Winter Olympics from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.

    Those games in China were on a different time zone which put it head to head with the Super Bowl.

    But Super Bowl LX will begin at 12.30am Central European Time – by which time the action in Milan will have ended.

    But the lead in to the game on NBC is likely to feature live winter sports action.

    During Super Bowl LIX on Fox, the network began pregame shows five hours before kickoff.

    NBC will also become home of the NBA All-Star Game in 2026.

    The game will take place on Sunday 15 February – one week after the Super Bowl.

    The Olympics will still be taking place but NBC is considering a 5 pm ET start rather than 8 pm ET for that game.

    NBC Sports president Rick Cordella said, “Paris proved that the Olympics are back and remain an unrivaled media property, with the unique ability to captivate the nation and generate huge audiences across all demographics for 17 days and nights.

    “We expect Milan Cortina to carry on that legacy.

    “The time zone allows us to mimic our Paris programming and coverage strategy on NBC and Peacock, which was widely praised and highly consumed.

    “Team USA is poised to have one of its strongest Winter Olympic teams in years, and America has always been fascinated with Italy, its culture, food, and scenery.

    “Milan Cortina has all the ingredients to produce yet another unforgettable Olympics one year from now.”
