Commercials that stole the show

Super Bowl commercials were another major attraction. While the first quarter ads were forgettable, things picked up in the second quarter. Lay’s won hearts with a touching story about a father and daughter, while Redfin and Rocket Mortgage delivered emotional messages about community and support during tough times. Liquid I.V. impressed viewers with a creative and funny commercial.

Cadillac also grabbed attention with an ad hyping its entry into Formula 1 from the 2026 season, featuring iconic words from former US President John F. Kennedy. Meanwhile, Budweiser brought back its classic Clydesdales, engaging in patriotic themes ahead of America’s 250th anniversary.

There was also no shortage of celebrity cameos. From tennis legend Roger Federer to big-name American pop-culture faces, including Jay-Z, Kendall Jenner, Adam Sandler, Travis Scott, J Balvin, Justin Bieber, and Hailey Bieber, all of whom came to watch the match.

As far as the match is concerned, the Seattle Seahawks denied the New England Patriots a record seventh Super Bowl title with a 29-13 triumph in the NFL's championship game. This is the second Super Bowl title in franchise history.
