who are in the super bowl

Right now, the matchup for the upcoming Super Bowl is not fully set, so the answer depends on which year you mean by “the Super Bowl.”

Quick Scoop: Who’s in (and who’s almost in)?

For the 2026 Super Bowl (Super Bowl LX) , one spot is locked in and the other is still up in the air.

• The New England Patriots have already clinched the AFC spot by beating the Denver Broncos in the AFC Championship Game.

• The NFC representative is still undecided and will be the winner of the Los Angeles Rams vs. Seattle Seahawks NFC Championship matchup.

So, as of late January 2026, you can say:

One side is set (Patriots), and the other will be either the Rams or the Seahawks, depending on who wins the NFC title game.

If you were instead asking about the already-scheduled Super Bowl LX matchup description (i.e., once the NFC game is decided), that game is framed as a clash between the Patriots and the Seahawks in many previews, echoing their famous previous Super Bowl meeting.

Mini timeline

• AFC decided: Patriots in, after a road win over Denver.

• NFC pending: Rams vs. Seahawks, winner to face New England.

Once that NFC Championship finishes, the full Super Bowl pairing will be: New England Patriots vs. Los Angeles Rams or New England Patriots vs. Seattle Seahawks.
