SANTA CLARA, CA — The drought is over. In a tactical masterclass at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday, February 8, 2026, the Seattle Seahawks secured their second-ever championship title, dismantling the New England Patriots 29–13. Led by a resurgent Sam Darnold and a bruising ground game, the Seahawks shut down the Patriots’ offense for three quarters, sparking a frenzy of celebration across the Pacific Northwest.
As Head Coach Mike Macdonald celebrated his first ring, the focus shifted immediately to the homecoming. Seattle, which last tasted Super Bowl glory 12 years ago, is preparing for a massive civic celebration later this week.
1. Super Bowl LX Parade: What We Know So Far
While the Seahawks’ front office has yet to release the official itinerary, city officials in Seattle are already coordinating with the SPD for a mid-week event.
- Expected Date: Likely Wednesday, February 11, or Thursday, February 12, 2026.
- The Tradition: If the 2014 “Legion of Boom” parade is any indicator, the route will likely begin near the Space Needle (4th Avenue and Denny Way) and march 2.5 miles south to Lumen Field.
- Crowd Estimates: Over 700,000 fans attended in 2014; given the 12-year wait and the team’s “Cinderella story” season, officials expect nearly a million people to line the streets.
2. How the Seahawks Dominated the Patriots
The game was a defensive clinic that neutralized the Patriots’ rising star, Drake Maye, for the majority of the night.
| Key Player | Stats & Impact |
| Kenneth Walker III (MVP) | 27 carries, 135 yards. His relentless running wore down the New England front seven. |
| Sam Darnold | 19/27, 202 yards, 1 TD. Played “mistake-free” football to secure his first career ring. |
| Cooper Kupp | 6 receptions, 61 yards. Served as the reliable “safety valve” on crucial 3rd-down conversions. |
| Seahawks Defense | Held the Patriots to 0 points through the first three quarters. |
3. Where to Watch the Parade Live
For fans who can’t make it to downtown Seattle, the celebration will be widely broadcast:
- Local TV: KIRO 7, KING 5, and FOX 13 Seattle are expected to provide “gavel-to-gavel” live coverage.
- Streaming: The parade will be streamed live on the Seahawks’ official YouTube channel and the NFL+ app.
- Radio: Seattle Sports 710 AM will provide live play-by-play of the parade route.
4. Tactical Summary: Super Bowl LX Scorecard
| Team | Q1 | Q2 | Q3 | Q4 | Total |
| Seattle Seahawks | 7 | 9 | 10 | 3 | 29 |
| N.E. Patriots | 0 | 0 | 0 | 13 | 13 |
Analyst’s Note: Drake Maye’s late-game surge (293 yards, 2 TDs) was impressive, but two costly interceptions in the first half proved to be the Patriots’ undoing.
