"We are super hyped to open Super Bowl 60 right in our backyard!" "We are honored to welcome the MVPs who've shaped the game and open the night for fans all over the world. Let's have fun! Let's get loud!"

Following last year's trend of showcasing AI in multimillion-dollar ad spots, the 2026 Super Bowl advertisements took it a step further by leveraging AI both to create the commercials and to promote the latest AI products. Love it or hate it, the technology has become a star in its own right, alongside the latest movie trailers and snack brands.

The Seahawks are totaling 351.4 yards per game on offense, which ranks them seventh in the NFL. On the defensive side of the ball, they rank sixth, surrendering 285.9 yards per game. The Patriots' defense ranks eighth in the NFL with 295.2 total yards surrendered per game, but they've been carried by their offense, which ranks third-best by piling up 379.4 total yards per contest.

As the Bay Area gears up for Sunday's Super Bowl in Santa Clara, South Bay Rep. Ro Khanna and other California Democrats are demanding that no immigration enforcement operations will occur at the game.

On Monday, the company unveiled both its Super Bowl 2026 commercial and a significant policy change: Starting soon, all delivery and service fees will be eliminated for restaurant orders exceeding $50. Grubhub says this is a permanent offering aimed at putting more money back in customers' pockets amid challenging economic times. The company notes that delivery and service fees on orders over $50 usually average about $13 per transaction across food delivery apps.

The Super Bowl returns to Santa Clara in 2026, but San Francisco will once again play host to much of the fanfare leading up to the Big Game, while San Jose will reprise its role in kicking off the week of pageantry. NFL and Bay Area Host Committee officials announced the long-awaited lineup on Monday morning, which includes the return of both the Super Bowl Experience and the media hub to downtown San Francisco's Moscone Center.

Last week, the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium booked country star Chris Stapleton for the night before the game. On Tuesday, the NFL got in on the action, announcing a Sting concert on the Friday of Super Bowl weekend. According to a news release, the singer-songwriter, whose real name is Gordon Sumner, will headline the league's Super Bowl concert series, although there's no information out there about the rest of the series.

San Jose Mineta International Airport prepares for a major influx as American Airlines announces an expansion of operations by up to 450 percent ahead of Super Bowl LX on February 8, 2026, at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. The stadium sits less than a 10-minute drive from the airport, making it a convenient entry point for fans traveling from across the country.

The Santa Clara Stadium Authority Board - comprised of the City Council - voted 5-2 Tuesday to approve the final 2026 Super Bowl agreement, which includes a roughly $6.4 million reimbursement from the Bay Area Host Committee for costs ranging from law enforcement security services to safety equipment. The host committee will also reimburse about $650,000 for Santa Clara Convention Center rent, and the San Francisco 49ers stadium company will reimburse about $26,000 in older adult and youth ticket sales.

"The truth is these global sporting events are incredible, but most of our residents won't get the opportunity to go either because they can't afford a ticket, or just logistically it won't be possible, and so our opportunity is to create a robust fan experience, from local legends going into classrooms to low-cost public concerts downtown that really help everybody take pride in our city and celebrate this unique moment on the world stage."
