Super Bowl LX will bring a week of events to the San Francisco Bay Area from February 2 to 8, 2026, culminating in the championship game at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. The festivities are not limited to football fans with tickets; a variety of activities across San Francisco, San Jose, and Santa Clara are planned for all visitors.

The week begins on February 2 with Super Bowl Opening Night Fueled by Gatorade at the San Jose Convention Center. This free event features appearances by players and coaches from both teams. Registration is required through the NFL OnePass app due to limited space.

Following opening night, attendees can enjoy the Big Game Opening Night Concert at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center and watch a drone show in San Jose’s SoFA District. From February 3 to 7, Yerba Buena Gardens in San Francisco will host the Fan Zone festival, offering live performances and interactive exhibits related to NFL culture and local food.

The Super Bowl Experience presented by Jersey Mike’s takes place at Moscone Center during these same dates. Visitors can meet players, shop for merchandise, take photos with the Vince Lombardi Trophy, participate in games like a virtual 40-yard dash against NFL athletes, and see memorabilia displays.

Music is also central to Super Bowl Week. On February 6 at Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture in San Francisco, “Bud Light Presents Post Malone & Buddies” will be held for fans aged 21 and over. The BAHC Live! Concert Series opens that day as well at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium with Martin Garrix and Lost Frequencies performing. On February 7, Chris Stapleton and Sierra Ferrell headline another concert as part of this series.

The Palace of Fine Arts will host Studio 60’s concert series on February 6 and Super Bowl Eve (February 7), featuring Sting followed by The Killers.

On February 7, Taste of the NFL offers a culinary experience at The Hibernia in San Francisco where guests can sample dishes from renowned chefs alongside fine wines and spirits while meeting former NFL stars.

Art enthusiasts can visit NFL Culture Club at The Pearl in San Francisco from February 4–7 for performances, installations, and brand collaborations highlighting sports’ intersection with art and fashion.

The Pro Bowl Games take place on February 3 at Moscone Center. This year’s edition moves into Super Bowl Week with top players competing in a flag football format rather than traditional tackle football.

Game day arrives on February 8 at Levi’s Stadium—home of the San Francisco 49ers—where Charlie Puth will perform the national anthem before kickoff at 3:30 p.m. PT., followed by Bad Bunny headlining halftime. Those without tickets can join public viewing parties such as Santana Row’s Super Row Big Game Tailgate in San Jose.

Dining options near Levi’s Stadium include Clara’s Junction—a restaurant less than half a mile away—and several other casual eateries nearby or downtown Santa Clara such as HiroNori Craft Ramen or Pizza My Heart. Further options are available within Santa Clara Square Marketplace including Puesto tacos or Barebottle Brewing Company beers.

Visitors traveling between event locations have several transit choices: Caltrain connects San Francisco to Mountain View station near Levi’s Stadium; VTA Orange Line light rail serves Great America Station adjacent to the stadium; BART reaches Milpitas Station for transfer onto VTA lines; Capitol Corridor trains link cities across Northern California directly to Santa Clara stations close to Levi’s Stadium.

Those looking beyond game-related events may explore regional attractions such as Winchester Mystery House or shopping areas like Santana Row in San Jose; outdoor destinations including Big Basin Redwoods State Park or Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk; classic sites around Fisherman’s Wharf or Ghirardelli Square; Alcatraz Island tours via ferry; scenic walks across Golden Gate Bridge; views from Lands End; or visits to historic landmarks like Palace of Fine Arts and Presidio in San Francisco.
