Super Bowl LX is the National Football League’s championship game for the 2025 season; it was scheduled for Sunday, February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California (typical U.S. kickoff time is the evening window, about 6:30 p.m. ET / 3:30 p.m. PT).
They are professional National Football League franchises: the New England Patriots (AFC team based in Foxborough, Massachusetts; one of the league’s most decorated franchises with multiple Super Bowl titles) and the Seattle Seahawks (NFC team based in Seattle, Washington; Super Bowl champions in the 2013 season).
The Vince Lombardi Trophy is the sterling‑silver trophy awarded each year to the Super Bowl winner; it was designed and is produced by Tiffany & Co. and is named in honor of legendary coach Vince Lombardi.
Because 2026 is the United States’ 250th anniversary (the Semiquincentennial or “America250”), the White House linked the national milestone to the Super Bowl as part of broader commemorations of 250 years of independence.
Official messages like this are presented as presidential (the page is titled a “Presidential Message”) but are produced and distributed by the White House communications apparatus (e.g., the Office of Communications/Press Office) on the President’s behalf.
The Armed Forces are commonly mentioned in national ceremonial messages because their service is publicly honored as protecting national freedoms and traditions; the White House explicitly links military service to the freedoms that allow Americans to gather and celebrate events like the Super Bowl.
“Melania” refers to First Lady Melania Trump; the First Lady is often included in presidential greetings and ceremonial statements and typically participates as a co-signer or partner in public ceremonial messages and outreach issued by the White House communications team.
