Super Bowl 2026: More Ads, Bad Bunny, and Weather Talk Than Football
KEY POINTS
- •On February 8, 2026, the NFL title game took place at Levi’s Stadium featuring the Seahawks vs Patriots.
- •The Guardian offered live coverage focusing heavily on ads and Bad Bunny’s halftime show rather than the game.
- •Fans were invited to email David Lengel their thoughts, highlighting the event's strange emphasis on everything but football.
At Levi’s Stadium on February 8, 2026, the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots battled for NFL glory, but the real MVPs might have been the 5,627 advertisements and Bad Bunny’s halftime show that had the crowd more excited than the third down conversions. Coverage by The Guardian linked fans to both live updates and a weather discussion that awkwardly stole attention from the football. David Lengel's email is even ready to collect your unsolicited thoughts on what might well be a matchup overshadowed by memes and merchandise rather than touchdowns. One can only dream of a future where the Super Bowl lives up to the 'football' in its name.

Super Bowl 2026 delivers 80% ads, 15% Bad Bunny, and 5% actual football — but hey, at least the weather talk was riveting.
Remember when Super Bowl meant football? Now it's just a Spotify ad break and a meteorology podcast with cheerleaders.
If you wanted updates, ads, or a music festival called Bad Bunny, 2026 Super Bowl nailed it. Touchdowns optional.
