The 2026-27 NFL season commences tonight with a Super Bowl LX rematch as the Seattle Seahawks host the New England Patriots. The game will be broadcast on NBC and Peacock.
Last season, the Patriots, led by quarterback Drake Maye, posted a 14-3 regular-season record, including an 8-0 record on the road. Their strong performance culminated in a Super Bowl appearance, though the outcome was unfavorable. Despite the Super Bowl loss, New England aims to contend for the AFC title again this year.
The Seahawks also finished the 2025 campaign with a 14-3 record. However, they faced stiff competition in the NFC West from the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers, who both finished 12-5. Tonight's matchup marks the beginning of Seattle's quest for a potential repeat.
The game is scheduled to begin at 8:20 p.m. ET, with pregame coverage starting at 7:00 p.m. ET on both NBC and Peacock.
