The Super Bowl, featuring the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots, is scheduled for Sunday, February 7, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The event is projected to generate between $370 million and $630 million in economic output for the San Francisco Bay Area. Super Bowls typically provide a significant economic boost to host cities through tourism and spending on food, drinks, and related services. While hosting the game incurs costs for the city, such as $6.3 million for Santa Clara, the economic benefits are generally much larger. Bank of America estimates a 77% jump in spending near the stadium.
