Super Bowl 2026: Which teams are playing in NFL summit game Super Bowl LX? Who can be the Most Valuable Player or MVP?

Super Bowl 2026 has the first team. Quarterback Drake Maye led the New England Patriots to Super Bowl LX 10-7 win over the Denver Broncos on Sunday. The Patriots will play either the Los Angeles Rams or the Seattle Seahawks at Super Bowl LX at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on February 8.

It will be Patriots' first Super Bowl appearance since the glory days of predecessor Tom Brady. The win underlines a remarkable resurgence for the Patriots. After the dominant era of the Brady dynasty that yielded six Super Bowl titles, New England have endured a painful rebuild, going 3-14 in both the previous two seasons.

But under new head coach Mike Vrabel -- who won three Super Bowls alongside Brady for the Patriots -- they were a revelation this season, going 16-3 before Sunday's clash, having won the tough AFC East for the first time since 2019.


The Patriots, who already boasted the most Super Bowl appearances with 11, will now have their twelfth showing on American football's biggest stage, and a chance to vie for a record seventh Lombardi trophy.

New England Patriots Quarterback Maye now extends a breakthrough year in his second NFL season, vying for Most Valuable Player with the Los Angeles Rams' Matthew Stafford.


New England Patriots vs Denver Broncos

In a low-scoring AFC Championship game played in brutal conditions, Maye rushed for a first-half touchdown, and painstakingly drove the ball downfield after the break to set up a decisive field goal.

No further scoring was possible in 21 degrees F (-6 degrees C) conditions, with the Patriots' white uniforms barely visible as players slipped and slid across the snow.
