As Super Bowl LX approaches on Sunday, Feb. 8, 2026, fans in Puerto Vallarta are mapping out the best places to watch the marquee NFL championship game between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks — a historic rematch that has drawn widespread local interest.
The game is scheduled to kick off at approximately 5:30 p.m. local time (17:30 CST), corresponding to the U.S. East Coast broadcast window of 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time — and will be shown live on major networks including NBC and Telemundo. The annual Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show — set to be headlined by global star Bad Bunny — is expected to begin roughly 90 minutes after kickoff, around 7:30–8:00 p.m. Mexico time, as play pauses midway through the action for the musical performance.
