The Super Bowl Returns to the Bay Area
Mark your calendars: Super Bowl LX is coming to the San Francisco Bay Area on Sunday, February 8, 2026.

With an estimated 90,000 visitors expected from outside the region and a projected economic impact of $370-630 million according to the Bay Area Host Committee’s economic impact report, the Bay Area is preparing for one of its biggest events ever. Whether you’re attending the game itself, catching Super Bowl Week festivities, or just soaking in the atmosphere, this guide has everything you need to plan an unforgettable experience.
