Commercial Break Champions: How LA Creativity is Winning Super Bowl LX

The Rams may have bowed out to Seattle in the NFC Championship, but make no mistake: Los Angeles is still running the show on Super Bowl Sunday.
From El Segundo wellness giants to Santa Monica tech innovators to Hollywood production houses, the 2026 commercial lineup reads like a love letter to Southern California's creative economy. While we won't be cheering on our boys in blue and gold at Levi's Stadium, the Southland's fingerprints are all over the biggest advertising night of the year.
Here's your guide to the LA-based brands and Hollywood-produced spots to watch this Sunday, February 8th 2026.
