Los Angeles Rams, Chargers, and San Francisco 49’ers Lead California Into Super Bowl Playoffs for 1st time in 40 Years

Super Bowl LX (60) will take place on February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. This is the first time since 1985 that all three NFL California teams have earned a ticket to the playoffs in the same season.

It’s will be a jammed packed playoff season at WeHo’s sports bars. All along Santa Monica Blvd., large-screen televisions will blast the big games: Gym Bar, Hi-Tops, 33 Taps, Schmitty’s, and The Abbey.

Drag queens and jocks will line the boulevard each weekend until the Super Bowl champion takes home the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

In the National Football Conference (NFC), both California teams, the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers, are going head-to-head for the NFC Championship. The 49ers (12-4) and Rams (11-5), both trailing the Seattle Seahawks (13-3) in the NFC Western Conference. The regular season finale on January 3, 2026, pits the 49ers against the Seahawks for the NFC West Conference Championship. If the San Francisco 49ers can best the Seattle Seahawks to end the regular season, (heartthrob) Brock Purdy and team will have the home-field advantage all the way to the Super Bowl in Santa Clara, California.

The Los Angeles Rams ended their season on Monday night with a disappointing loss. The Rams have secured a wild-card spot in the playoffs.

The Los Angeles Chargers are the only California team in the American Football Conference (AFC). The Chargers (11-5) are in second place in the AFC Western Conference behind the Denver Broncos (13-3).
