Super Bowl logo conspiracy reveals who will play in 2026 NFL championship

Well, that’s settled.

If you’re the kind of person who believes in conspiracy theories, then you already know who is playing in Super Bowl LX. On Sunday night the NFL unveiled the logo for next year’s game in Santa Clara, California — and you might notice some key colors involved here.

The two that jump out the most are the baby blue and the yellow, which feels an awful lot like the Los Angeles Chargers. This could be a pretty solid bet. We don’t know what’s happening with the Chiefs at this point or how they’ll retool, the Bills still need to find a way to get over the hump — and that leaves the door open for a team like the Chargers to sneak in.

It would be Jim Harbaugh’s second season after a playoff berth, a team finding its footing, and a front office with a boatload of cap space to make improvements — I mean, it makes sense.

The NFC side gets a little trickier we’ve got some dark red on the bridge which would represent the 49ers. Also the yellow and green could easily be the Packers. Are we destined for a Chargers vs. Packers Super Bowl?

Here’s one more idea: The left side of the logo has the trees predominantly in purple, below a blue and white sky. Perhaps we just have the wrong Harbaugh. A Ravens vs. Lions showdown perhaps?

Here’s every potential matchup based on the colors in the logo

  • Los Angeles Chargers vs. Green Bay Packers
  • Los Angeles Chargers vs. Detroit Lions
  • Los Angeles Chargers vs. San Francisco 49ers
  • Loa Angeles Chargers vs. Los Angeles Rams
  • Baltimore Ravens vs. any of the NFC teams above
  • Indianapolis Colts vs. any of the NFC teams above
  • Tennessee Titans vs. lol, the Titans aren’t making the Super Bowl

As you can see, the problem with this conspiracy is that when you dive in too deep suddenly you’ve accounted for about half of the teams in the NFL by picking out any color from a rainbow.

For now we’ll just have the bookmark this one and speculate. We can come back to it in January of 2026 and see if the logo conspiracy reigns again.
