NFL fans rejoice! The Super Bowl is back for its 60th anniversary as the New England Patriots clash with the Seattle Seahawks in Santa Clara this week.
The first time since 2022 that the Kansas City Chiefs are not taking part in the showcase final. Last year’s champions, the Philadelphia Eagles, lost in the playoffs earlier this year, meaning we’ll have a new team crowned the NFL champions at Levi’s Stadium in California this weekend.
With Grammy winner Bad Bunny performing alongside punk legends Green Day at the event, the Super Bowl is expected to be one of the most-watched sporting events on the calendar. The NFL remains one of the most high-profile and money-laden sports on the planet.
