This will be the third Super Bowl to be held in the San Francisco Bay Area and the second Levi's Stadium will host, the first being Super Bowl 50 ten years prior. The game is planned to be televised nationally by NBC.[1]
Background
Host selection
The league has made all decisions regarding hosting sites from Super Bowl LVII (held in February 2023) onward. There is no bidding process per site: the league selects a potential venue unilaterally, the chosen team puts together a hosting proposal, and then the league owners vote to determine whether it is acceptable.[2]
On May 18, 2023, it was reported that Levi's Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers, was considered the front-runner for the Super Bowl LX site.[3] On May 22, the NFL announced that Super Bowl LX will be played at Levi's Stadium.[4]
Broadcasting
United States
Television
Super Bowl LX is scheduled to be televised by NBC as part of the 11-year NFL television contract, which allows a four-year rotation between CBS, Fox, NBC, and ABC/ESPN. Under this rotation, NBC has the Super Bowl during the same years it has its Winter Olympics coverage. Super Bowl LX will be the second time after Super Bowl LVI that the game is scheduled on a date that falls within the date range of an ongoing Olympics event (and the third that the date will be on an Olympic year), the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.[1][5]
It is expected that a Spanish-language feed will air on one of NBC's sister networks, either Telemundo or Universo.[1]
Streaming
The game is planned to be streamed live on Peacock, as well as NFL+ via mobile devices.[1]
Radio
Westwood One holds the national radio rights to the game.[6]

1 – Dates in the list denote the season, not necessarily the calendar year in which the championship game was played. For instance, Super Bowl LIV was played in 2020, but was the championship for the 2019 season.
2 – From 1966 to 1969, the first four Super Bowls were "World Championship" games played between two independent professional football leagues, AFL and NFL, and when the league merged in 1970 the Super Bowl became the NFL Championship Game.
