Super Bowl 2026: Live coverage of NFL’s showpiece game as New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks do battle
Aussie Michael Dickson is a Super Bowl champion, with Seattle destroying New England in the NFL decider. Recap all the action here!
NFL: It’s the most-watched US sporting event of the year - and all eyes are on whether it’ll be the Patriots or the Seahawks who are crowned NFL champs.
In a rematch of the league’s decider from 2015, New England - led by quarterback Drake Maye - and Seattle - helmed by Sam Darnold - will go at it after both made unlikely surges this season to the title game.
And when the action pauses at half-time, Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny will take to the stage to put on a show, fresh off his Grammy win for Album of the Year.
Follow all the developments from the day below, with the game set to start at 10.30am EDT (7.30am WA time).

It sounds like Seattle may have the edge in crowd support...
Green Day rocking out
Green Day help welcome some NFL legends onto the turf at Levi’s Stadium, and then burst into a pre-game set.
Holiday, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, and American Idiot all ring out during the energetic set. We’re 20 minutes away from a start and the crowd is suitably amped!
Today's timings
So we’re about half-an-hour away from kick-off at Levi’s Stadium in San Fran, with the vast majority of the expected 65,000 crowd already in the house.
The game starts at 10.30am EDT (7.30am WA time). Bad Bunny’s half-time set is likely to start at around midday EDT (9am WA time) and will go for about 15 minutes.
We’ll have a Super Bowl winner crowned by about 2pm EDT!

Watching today but don’t know who to support?
Then the Seahawks are your team, thanks to the presence of Australian punter Michael Dickson.
The Sydney product is on the cusp of Super Bowl glory, with the 30-year-old playing a key role in Seattle’s rise from obscurity to the Big Dance this season. He’s one of the most reliable punters in the game (and fingers crossed for another rock-solid showing today).
Here’s more on his quest to become the second Aussie to win an NFL championship ring!
