Super Bowl LX: Patriots vs. Seahawks—Darnold, Coaching Moves, and the Build-Up

Super Bowl LX is set: the New England Patriots will face the Seattle Seahawks on February 8, 2026. Here's the latest on the matchup, key players, and the coaching and off-field news dominating the build-up.

The Matchup

Patriots vs. Seahawks—two franchises with plenty of Super Bowl history. Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold has been in the spotlight after an oblique issue; he has said his oblique "feels really good" ahead of the game, which is a positive sign for Seattle's offense.

Coaching Carousel

Several teams have made offensive coordinator hires in the run-up to the offseason:

  • New York Jets: Hired Frank Reich as offensive coordinator.
  • Pittsburgh Steelers: Hired Brian Angelichio as OC.
  • Arizona Cardinals: Hired Nathaniel Hackett as OC.
  • Elsewhere, Philadelphia Eagles offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland has announced he will not return next season.

    Off-Field Headlines

    Patrick Mahomes' father was arrested for violating probation related to a DWI case—a separate story from the Super Bowl matchup but one that has drawn national attention. Super Bowl ticket prices are also in the news: they're expected to be among the highest since 2020, and the coin flip has been one of the most heavily bet props for the game.

    What's Next

    With kickoff on February 8, both teams will continue to manage injuries, game plan, and media. AthX is adding NFL next season—so if you're already trading MLB, you'll be able to build and trade NFL player shares when we go live.
