The Super Bowl Party Guide That Does All The Planning For You

Super Bowl LX is almost here. On Sunday, February 8, 2026, the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots face off at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California, with kickoff at approximately 6:30 PM EST. Green Day will open the festivities with a special 60th anniversary ceremony at 6:00 PM, Charlie Puth will perform the national anthem, Brandi Carlile will sing "America the Beautiful," and Coco Jones will perform "Lift Every Voice and Sing." Bad Bunny headlines the halftime show, making this year's game one you won't want to miss.

Whether you're a die-hard football fan or just here for the commercials and performances, hosting a successful Super Bowl party comes down to three things: food that holds up through a long game, drinks that stay cold until the final whistle, and enough seating so nobody's blocking the TV. Here's your complete game plan.

Plan Your Menu Like a Pro

Super Bowl food should be easy to eat with one hand while holding a drink in the other. Skip the sit-down dinner and focus on dishes that can sit out for hours without losing their appeal.
