The defending champions
Seattle go into the season as champions after beating New England 29-13 in Super Bowl LX, the franchise’s second Lombardi Trophy. No team has won back-to-back titles since the Chiefs in 2022 and 2023, and repeating has only been done eight times in the game’s history. ClutchPoints

Super Bowl history
The Super Bowl has been played every year since 1967. The Patriots and Steelers share the record for most titles with six each; the Patriots have appeared most often. Only New Orleans and Miami have hosted more times than the Los Angeles area. The game has grown from a two-league playoff into the most-watched annual broadcast in the United States, and the halftime show and advertising have become events in their own right.
