Pokémon Go reveals big new feature after celeb-stuffed Super Bowl trailer
Super Bowl LX has come and gone, but while Seahawks fans will be busy celebrating their win, Pokémon Go fans will be celebrating for an entirely different reason. Beyond the football and half-time show, the Super Bowl is infamous for its adverts, with primetime slots costing companies millions. And this year, armed with their Legends: Z-A megabucks, Pokémon took to the air with their own ad, brimming with celebrities declaring their love for their favourite Pokémon, to announce a brand-new feature for Pokémon Go. 'What's Your Favourite?' is a new camera feature being added to Pokémon Go, that "lets you create shared moments with your favourite Pokémon". Whether you've already caught the Pokémon or not, you can select your favourite Pokémon and take a photo with them. You'll be able to choose a particular pose for the Pokémon in the shot, as well as add in a few stickers and frames to customise it. Alongside the new feature, a What's Your Favourite? Special Research has been added to the game too. Players simply need to take a photo with their favourite Pokémon using the new feature, and once logged in, they'll be rewarded with a Gengar encounter, 100 PokéCoins and some free items. The What's Your Favourite campaign comes as part of Pokémon's 30th anniversary celebrations, with the series marking three whole decades since its 1996 debut later this month. The Super Bowl ad itself featured the likes of Lady Gaga, Trevor Noah, and Charles Leclerc, who shared their own favourite Pokémon, all of which were, let's face it, pretty boring if appropriate picks, apart from Lamine Yamal, who may be the only person in the entire world who cares about Zygarde.

Your complete round-up of Super Bowl 2026, including the final scoreline.
The Seattle Seahawks are your new Super Bowl LX champions following a defensive masterclass that stifled the New England Patriots in Santa Clara, California. A relentless Seattle defence shut out the Patriots for the first three quarters with quarterback Drake Maye sacked six times following overwhelming pressure all night. The game went into the fourth quarter Seattle 12-0 up, but a flurry of points went on the board – for both teams – as Maye took risks to dig his team out of a hole Seahawks QB Sam Darnold wasn't required to bring his A-game to overcome the Patriots as kicker Jason Myers knocked home 17 points on the night, including five field goals. The most exciting offensive Super Bowl? Not even close. A showcase of championship-winning defensive football? Absolutely.

How many fans are at the Super Bowl 2026? Levi's Stadium attendance confirmed
Levi's Stadium was brimming with fans on Sunday night.
The Super Bowl is projected to generate a $500 million boost to the local economy around the Bay Area. Read that again slowly. $500 million. It is quite simply the biggest US sporting event of any given year, transcending sport and stopping a nation in its tracks, for a few primetime hours at least. Over 100 million Americans tuned in for the Big Game on Sunday night, but only a relatively select few were in attendance at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara – home of the San Francisco 49ers – to watch the New England Patriots face the Seattle Seahawks in a duel for the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Radio Times brings you the confirmed Super Bowl attendance for 2026. Watch Super Bowl 2026 live on NFL Game Pass via DAZN, Sky Sports and 5 Read more: Super Bowl TV coverage | Super Bowl halftime show performers | Who will sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl? How many fans are at the Super Bowl? The Super Bowl LX attendance was confirmed as 70,823 inside the stadium during the Super Bowl. Various estimates had suggested a range between 64,000 and 75,000 for the big game with Levi's Stadium maxed out for the showpiece event. In 2025, Caesars Superdome in New Orleans was sold out with a capacity of 73,208. However, the final confirmed attendance was 65,719. This represented a 10% discrepancy between total capacity and confirmed attendance. It is believed that the announced attendance figure was based on the confirmed number of attendees inside the stadium, rather than tickets sold. Using a similar margin of difference between capacity and attendance, we are assuming a 64,500-strong crowd inside Levi's Stadium on Sunday night. In 1980, Super Bowl XIV boasted the largest ever attendance at the showpiece event as a total of 103,985 fans crammed into the iconic Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California to watch the Pittsburgh Steelers defeat the Los Angeles Rams. That total may take a while to beat considering few stadiums are able to match that capacity, but what a sight it would be!

Lowest-scoring Super Bowl in NFL history: Which game had fewest points scored?
We're optimists here at Radio Times, but let's face it... this one isn't an advert for free-throwing, gun-slinging NFL action. Super Bowl LX has reached the halfway mark with pulses around the globe unlikely to lifted above a resting state given the lack of point-scoring so far on the night. The New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks have made it this far due to their defensive nous – and it shows. Without attempting to put the kiss of death on this current Super Bowl, and while trying to inspire a second-half rally, we round up a bunch of games with even less to shout about. RadioTimes.com brings you the lowest scoring Super Bowls in history. What is the lowest-scoring Super Bowl in history? The lowest-scoring Super Bowl in history came in 2019 as the New England Patriots defeated the Los Angeles Rams 13-3 for a combined total of 16 points. A 46-year record tumbled after that game with the second lowest-scoring game coming way back in 1973 at Super Bowl VII. The Miami Dolphins defeated Washington 14-7 for a total of 21 points, highlighting just how historically stingy the 2019 encounter was. At the halftime whistle in Super Bowl LVIII, the San Francisco 49ers lead Kansas City Chiefs 10-3 for a total of 13 points. If the current course continues, we could see a new entry into the top 10. Lowest-scoring Super Bowl games Patriots 13-3 Rams (2019) – 16 Dolphins 14-7 Washington (1973) – 21 Steelers 16-6 Vikings (1975) – 22 Jets 16-7 Colts (1969) – 23 Cowboys 24-3 Dolphins – 27 Check out more of our Sport coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what's on.

Donald Trump became the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl last year.
Donald Trump made history in 2025 as he became the first sitting president in United States history to attend a Super Bowl. He attended Caesars Superdome in New Orleans as the Philadelphia Eagles ran out 40-22 winners over the Kansas City Chiefs. Trump featured in the stands and took part in a pre-recorded pre-game interview ahead of last year's showdown, a recurring tradition among US presidents. Tight-end Travis Kelce – now engaged to Taylor Swift – spoke about Trump's presence at the big game in 2025. He said: “I think, you know, no matter who the president is, I know I’m excited because it’s the biggest game of my life, you know, and having the president there, you know, it’s the best country in the world. So, that’d be pretty cool." After Swift endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 US Presidential Election, Trump posted on Truth Social: "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT." While Kelce and Swift are nowhere to be seen at this year's showpiece, fans were asking a big question ahead of the 2026 showdown: would Trump show up? RadioTimes.com brings you all the details about Donald Trump's attendance at the Super Bowl in 2026. Is Donald Trump at the Super Bowl in 2026? Donald Trump will not attend the Super Bowl in 2026, telling the New York Post the game is "just too far away" in Santa Clara, California – almost 3,000 miles away from Washington D.C. The 79-year-old has instead opted to throw a Super Bowl bash at his Mar-a-Lago resort in West Palm Beach, Florida. Trump has spoken of his dismay at halftime show performer Bad Bunny, who has been critical of Trump and US immigration policy, claiming to have not heard of the artist. He was also critical of Green Day being announced as a pre-game act. Speaking to the New York Post, he said: “I’m anti-them. I think it’s a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible." Trump has experienced a fractious relationship with the NFL over the years, dating back to the 1980s. He was publicly outspoken against Colin Kaepernick's kneeling protest during the national anthem ahead of NFL games, while he has also criticised the league's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) policies and programs. On the flip side, many players have declared support for Trump, with numerous players replicating his viral dance moves, while San Francisco 49ers star Joey Bosa was fined for interrupting a post-game interview wearing a Make America Great Again cap. In 1983, Trump owned the United States Football League (USFL) side New Jersey Generals and launched a legal challenge against the NFL in an effort to force a merger. He was unsuccessful and the USFL eventually folded. Trump was also rumoured to be mounting a bid to by the Buffalo Bills franchise in 2014, but was outbid by Terry Pegula, billionaire father of WTA tennis star Jessica Pegula. He has not declared allegiance to either team in the upcoming Super Bowl match-up. Check out more of our Sport coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what's on.

Who is the home team in the Super Bowl 2026?
Breathe a sigh of relief, San Francisco 49ers fans...
If there's one thing American NFL fans love more than the Super Bowl itself it is... procedure. You may tune in on Sunday night thinking this is it, the Vince Lombardi Trophy has shown up, the teams have landed and we're ready to go. But the reality is the Super Bowl will have been going on for two weeks prior to kick off with various media engagements, promotional materials, the ailing Pro Bowl, awards shows – the full carnival. Sponsors will have had their moments in the sun, uniform announcements have been made and the home team has been designated. Yes, a home team. On neutral ground. U-S-A. Radio Times brings you all the details about the home team at Super Bowl 2026. Watch Super Bowl 2026 live on NFL Game Pass via DAZN, Sky Sports and 5 Read more: Super Bowl TV coverage | Super Bowl halftime show performers | Who will sing the national anthem at the Super Bowl? Who is the home team at Super Bowl 2025? The Super Bowl 2026 home team will be the New England Patriots. That will come as a relief to San Francisco 49ers fans who have already endured the pain of seeing the Seattle Seahawks branding etched into their turf. Home team selection is on a rotational basis between the NFC and AFC Champions. This year it's the AFC's turn to be at 'home'. Benefits to the home team are minimal, but there are two small bonuses that come with the status. The Patriots get to choose which jersey to wear. They have chosen to wear their all-white away jersey, the first time they have ever done so in the Big Game. In turn, the Seahawks have opted for navy, meaning this is the first match-up between two teams wearing monochromatic uniforms in Super Bowl history – who knew! Aside from aesthetics, the Patriots' second bonus is that they will select heads or tails in the coin toss before the game, which effectively determines which team will take possession of the football first. Let's be real though, it's still a 50:50 shout rather than a genuine advantage to have the coin toss pick. What is the Super Bowl home team curse? The Super Bowl curse doesn't actually relate to the 'administrative' home team (in this case, the Patriots). Instead, the home team curse revolves around the Super Bowl stadium itself. The curse involved the Super Bowl host team failing to qualify for the Super Bowl that year. The curse was broken when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Los Angeles Rams made it to the Super Bowl in 2020 and 2021 respectively. However, both teams went on to win the big game on their home turf and it appears the curse is broken...

Who is singing the national anthem at Super Bowl 2026?
Ladies and gentlemen, please rise and remove your hats for the national anthem of the United States of America.
A moment of calm before the storm, the pre-Super Bowl national anthem rendition is Americana at its zenith. It doesn't get any more 'United States of America' than this. The annual ritual of pre-game songs will be performed ahead of the New England Patriots' clash with the Seattle Seahawks as usual with a stellar cast of singers and songwriters in tow. Given it's the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence (players will wear special USA 250 patches on their jerseys), there's a strong chance you may never see this level of 'red, white and blue' enthusiasm again.

The early 20th century hymn has risen back to prominence following the death of George Floyd in 2020. The song has become part of the Super Bowl schedule, having been performed ahead of six consecutive games dating back to 2021, the first Super Bowl since Floyd's death in Minneapolis.

Ed Sheeran reveals whether he sees Super Bowl Halftime Show in his future
The British star has shared his thoughts on taking on the highly sought-after performance slot.
Ed Sheeran has shared his thoughts on taking on the Super Bowl Halftime Show as he prepares to release his new album. The British star, 34, is gearing up for his eighth major release, Play, on 7th May, and ahead of it sat down with Alex Cooper for her Call Her Daddy podcast. During the chat, the pair spoke about the potential of him appearing at the Super Bowl, performing the coveted Halftime Show slot that has previously been done by Beyoncé, Prince, Rihanna and Michael Jackson. Last year, Kendrick Lamar took the slot, creating the most watched Halftime Show in history with 133.5 million people tuning in to watch him perform and take barbed jabs towards rival rapper Drake. But while Sheeran is a multi-platinum-selling artist around the world, and certainly has the catalogue, he noted he didn’t feel like he had the "pizazz" to pull it off. He told Cooper: "There was a conversation about 10 years ago to go on with someone, and I think that’d be the only way that I would do it at the moment. "I don’t think English artists are, like... I mean, there are some that have the pizzazz of Super Bowl, fireworks, dancers, blah, blah, blah — but me going up there and being like, 'Here’s The A Team and here’s Perfect,' no one wants to see that." However, he added that he would willingly make an appearance, and said: "If there was a show with a lot of [pizazz], say if it was Beyoncé’s show and she had all the bells and whistles, and then there was a moment where we sung Perfect together, that makes sense to me." "But me, I don’t know. I can’t picture myself doing it," he concluded, adding his "catalogue doesn’t lend itself" because he often needs to set up a loop pedal in between songs. In the meantime, Sheeran is busy promoting Plus, and will be taking to the stage at Coachella festival this weekend. Azizam, his lead single from the album, was released last week, and translates to "my beloved" in Persian, influenced by Swedish/Iranian producer Ilya Salmanzadeh.

How many fans are at the Super Bowl 2025? Caesars Superdome attendance details
Caesars Superdome was packed to the rafters on Super Bowl Sunday.
The Super Bowl is frequently the most-watched TV event in the United States, boasting 19 of the top 20 broadcasts in history. Only the M*A*S*H finale could break into the upper echelons of the charts and surpass 100 million viewers. There is simply nothing quite like the Super Bowl. The enormous interest in the game transcends sport, and makes securing a ticket to be live and present in the stadium outrageously difficult to achieve. While NFL stadiums are concrete behemoths capable of hosting tens of thousands of fans, the eventual attendances are minuscule compared to the numbers tuning in from home. RadioTimes.com brings you the Super Bowl attendance for 2025. How many fans are at the Super Bowl? Caesars Superdome was sold out for the game on Sunday night, but the official attendance confirmed inside the stadium was 65,719 – less than the arena's capacity of 73,208. The stadium is reportedly able to host an expanded maximum capacity of 76,468 fans, so the lower-than-expected figure may take some by surprise. A number of secondary re-sale tickets were flying around right up until gameday, but late punters were being asked to shell out thousands of dollars for a general admission ticket. It is believed that the announced attendance figure was based on the confirmed number of attendees inside the stadium, rather than tickets sold, which may account for some of the discrepancy between capacity and attendance. The game was expected to boast the largest attendance for a Super Bowl since 2014, which saw the Seattle Seahawks rout the Denver Broncos 43-8 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, but this did not materialise. Last year's Super Bowl was the lowest-attended big game in history due to the lower stadium capacity, with the exception of the COVID-affected 2020 Super Bowl, which was limited to a crowd of just 24,835 – excluding 30,000 cardboard cut-out fans sold for $100 per person. In 1980, Super Bowl XIV boasted the largest ever attendance at the showpiece event. A total of 103,985 fans crammed into the iconic Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California to watch the Pittsburgh Steelers defeat the Los Angeles Rams. That total may take a while to beat considering few stadiums are able to match that capacity, but what a sight it would be!

Tom Brady Super Bowl wins: How many times has Brady won the Super Bowl?
Tom Brady is back for the Super Bowl – but he won't be on the field.
Tom Brady is the undisputed king of the Super Bowl. If you've witnessed Brady in the greatest show on turf, you've witnessed greatness. He is back for the Super Bowl in 2025, but the former New England Patriots megastar will make his presence felt in the commentary booth as opposed to the field. No player has recorded more Super Bowl victories than Brady during his stunning career – not a bad tagline for the 199th pick of the NFL Draft in 2000. The collective 32 NFL teams passed on Brady 198 times combined before he landed a spot on the New England Patriots' roster. The rest is history. RadioTimes.com brings you the full round-up of Tom Brady's Super Bowl heroics throughout his glittering career. Tom Brady Super Bowl wins Tom Brady won seven Super Bowl titles during his 22-year career, that's more championships than any player in history, even if we include the NFL Championship which pre-dated the Super Bowl. Brady appeared in 10 Super Bowls throughout his career, winning seven of them and being crowned Super Bowl MVP on five occasions. He earned his first triumph with the Patriots in 2001 before following up with titles in 2003, 2004, 2014, 2016 and 2018. Brady left the Patriots to join the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020 and, you guessed it, lifted the Vince Lombardi trophy a seventh time at the first attempt with his new team. After a brief retirement in 2022, Brady returned for a final season with the Bucs. He announced in February 2023 that he was retiring "for good". His benchmark has been set. Many of the iconic 1960s Green Bay Packers team won five titles with the team, including the NFL Championship and first couple of Super Bowl games. Three members of that team, Fuzzy Thurston, Forrest Gregg and Herb Adderley, also picked up a title each with other teams, taking their totals to six. In the Super Bowl era, only one player other than Brady has managed five Super Bowl titles. Charles Haley won Super Bowls XXIII and XXIV with the San Francisco 49ers in the late 1980s before triumphing three times with the Dallas Cowboys in the 90s. A number of Pittsburgh Steelers players lifted the trophy four times in the 70s, while many of Brady's teammates, such as Rob Gronkowski and kicker Adam Vinatieri, earned four Super Bowl titles throughout the span of their careers, including an extra title or two with other teams.

Two essential NFL rules to enjoy the Super Bowl 2025
The Super Bowl can be a baffling spectacle for those who haven't watched American Football before but two simple rules can help anyone enjoy the big game.
How can people actually enjoy this? Do people actually enjoy this? Why do they wear armour? Isn't this just rugby? When is the halftime show? Superb Owl #banter lol. WHERE IS TAYLOR?! Can I go to bed yet? It can only be Super Bowl Sunday. The Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX at Caesars Superdome this weekend. Whether people are curious to tune in and see what all the fuss is about on the field, the Kendrick Lamar halftime show or simply to understand why Taylor Swift and Donald Trump are trending worldwide across every conceivable social media platform, the Super Bowl has a way of drawing people in. It also has a knack for completely overwhelming those tuning in to watch an American football game for the first time. That's why we're here to help. RadioTimes.com has got you covered with the absolute basics, and believe it or not, you can make sense of the Super Bowl – enough to enjoy it – by simply knowing two fundamental rules of the sport. 1. What is a 1st down? The entire sport boils down to teams attempting to advance up the pitch. Each team is given four attempts (downs) to move the ball forward at least 10 yards via throwing and catching the ball or running with it. At the start of possession, a team will have their first attempt to advance 10 yards. This is known as 1st & 10 (1st attempt/down, 10 yards left to reach the marker). For example, if a quarterback in a 1st & 10 situation throws the ball to a teammate standing five yards further up the field, play will stop and that team will advance five yards. The 1st (attempt) and 10 (yards to go) situation will become a 2nd & 5 situation – it is their second attempt and they have five yards to reach their target. If the ball is caught, or a player runs with the ball, beyond the original 10-yard target line, this will result in a 1st down because they have successfully advanced at least 10 yards in those attempts – a fresh 1st & 10 situation has arrived. The next 10-yard situation will begin from where the player with the ball is brought down, tackled or where he runs off the field. This process repeats until a team gets the ball into the endzone to record a touchdown or close enough to the goal posts to attempt a kicked field goal. If a team does not reach the 10 yards in four attempts, the ball goes to the other team. This can happen simply by not breaking down the opposition's defence, or the ball can be directly intercepted by the opposition and they can launch a counter attack. Usually, a team will kick the ball away on their 4th down to avoid their opponents getting the ball in a good position for their possession. 2. How many points for a touchdown and field goal? Taking the ball into the end zone will instantly reward that team with six points. They can then choose to: A) Kick the ball through the posts for one extra point. B) Have one chance at throwing or running the ball into the endzone again – from short range – for two extra points. Field goals are rewarded with three points. And that really is all you need to know! Understanding tactics, formations, specific positions and bizarre rules (don't get us started) will only add to the enjoyment, but at its core, American Football is all about the four attempts at advancing the ball 10 yards forward to stick points on the board.

What is the Super Bowl? The NFL's showpiece game explained
The Super Bowl is the only event taking place on Planet Earth this weekend - that is, if you live east of the Pacific, west of the Atlantic, south of Canada and north of Mexico... The big game draws an audience like no other spectacle can in the United States of America. Approximately one in every three people across the States – with a population above 330 million people – will settle down to watch the game, while the rest of the world (generally speaking) either carries on as usual or goes to sleep. But what is exactly is the Super Bowl? Why is it so important to the US? And how many chicken wings will be consumed in honour of the occasion (clue: over 1,000,000,000 in the US alone) this weekend? RadioTimes.com explains why the Super Bowl is such a big deal in the US sporting calendar. What is the Super Bowl? The Super Bowl is the culmination of the NFL season. Thirty-two teams are divided into two conferences of 16 (the AFC and NFC). Each conference is divided into divisions of four (West, North, East, South). The best teams in each division, plus a few lucky runners-up, qualify for the playoffs, which lead to the crowning of an AFC champion and an NFC champion. Those two teams compete in the big one – the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl is a cultural centrepiece in the USA. It draws in around 100 million domestic viewers alone, with 112m tuning in for the 2023 game – that's approximately one third of the entire population of the country. As a standalone sporting event, it's a big deal, but the spectacle is a marriage between sport and entertainment, presented with layer upon layer of glitz and glam. The iconic half-time show has seen some of the world's all-time biggest-selling acts perform on the field. Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, U2, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Prince, Bruce Springsteen, The Who, Beyoncé and many, many more have performed on the grand stage. The universal audience of the Super Bowl, from sports fans to entertainment lovers, results in an incredible attraction to the game, which in turn has advertisers licking their lips. Super Bowl commercials have developed a legendary status, with brands trying to out-do each other at every opportunity to produce the most eye-catching, memorable, iconic ads. Many tune into the Super Bowl simply to watch the adverts in between, with Hollywood A-listers and immense production value applied to every commercial shown. The ads better be worth the approximate $7 million it costs for a 30-second slot during a break. View oEmbed on the source website Beyond the stadium, the game, the sport, the entertainment, spectacle and advertising opportunities, the Super Bowl provides the US with a perfect excuse to indulge. New data in 2024 suggests Americans will spend around $17.3bn ($86.04 per person) on food, drinks, merchandise, decorations and more to prepare for the game. Almost 9 million kilograms of potato and tortilla chips are expected to be consumed, as well as 1.4 billion chicken wings – enough to encircle Planet Earth three times. All of that will be washed down by a reported – and utterly mind-boggling – 2 billion pints of beer over the weekend. While it's tough to get an accurate read on the stats and figures, one thing is certain: the Super Bowl is big news. Outside of the US, its appeal is growing, but it remains far smaller than within the US itself. Around 40 million people tune in for the game around the globe each year, but with the NFL ramping up efforts to play games in the UK, Germany, Brazil and further afield, don't be surprised if Super Bowl mania continues to spread across the globe.

How much is a Super Bowl ring worth? Cost, value and number of rings
Your complete guide to Super Bowl rings and their true cost
There's more than glory and ambition on the line when NFL teams lock horns in the Super Bowl.

Super Bowl winners are handed dazzling, bespoke rings, crafted specifically for that team in the wake of their triumph.

Tom Brady doesn't quite boast this problem. The newly-retired quarterback legend boasts a whopping seven rings, one for each of his glorious triumphs. RadioTimes.com brings you all the details about Super Bowl rings. How much is a Super Bowl ring worth? The NFL stumps up between $5,000 and $7,000 per ring to give to teams, but rings often cost more than that price tag. Each ring is custom built by the winning team, with various styles and gemstones used, usually incorporating the colours, name and logo of the team. The precise cost of a ring is kept private by teams, but most of the market value of a ring after it has been handed to a player is determined by the stature of the player himself. For example, 10 players on a team may be given Super Bowl rings worth an initial $15,000 but when it comes to re-sale and 'value' a ring worn by the quarterback is going to fetch a higher market price than one awarded to a special teams player. Most expensive Super Bowl ring cost The New England Patriots' rings for their 2015 triumph were reportedly worth $36,500 each. If they chose to hand out 100 throughout their organisation, that's a cool $3.65 million! Another high-roller ring came in 2017 when the Patriots produced the largest ever comeback in Super Bowl history. They motored back from 28-3 down to defeat the Atlanta Falcons and celebrated with Super Bowl rings featuring... 283 diamonds each. In terms of the highest-recorded Super Bowl ring sale, New York Giants' two-time champion Lawrence Taylor's 1990 winners' ring was sold for a cool £169,000 by his son in 2012. Who gets a Super Bowl ring? It is completely up to a team's owners to determine who gets an official Super Bowl ring. Traditionally, players and key coaches are each given a top-tier ring, with further team staff given rings featuring lesser stones or faux diamonds at a lower cost per piece. The NFL offers up a bonus for teams that covers at least part of the cost for up to 150 rings per winning team.
