ESPN will put a bow on the NFL postseason with pregame and postgame coverage of Super Bowl LX between the NFC champion Seattle Seahawks and the AFC champion New England Patriots.

Tune in as Mike Greenberg and the crew get you ready for kickoff with "Postseason NFL Countdown." Immediately following the game, Chris Berman will take the baton and have all of the highlights, instant analysis and reactions from Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

Berman will then pass it to Scott Van Pelt, who will be at SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park, the site of Super Bowl LXI. The symbolic moment will mark the official start of "The Handoff," a 24-hour, multiplatform initiative that begins the official countdown to Super Bowl LXI -- ESPN's first Super Bowl -- which will be played Feb. 14, 2027.
