Super Bowl LX: Disney, Paramount, and Universal Lead Trailer Blitz Amid Soaring Ad Costs
February 3, 2026
Warner Bros. presence is light this year, but DC will still tease Supergirl during the Puppy Bowl, illustrating cross-network synergy.
Overall, Super Bowl LX remains the premier platform for launching trailers, with marquee titles and cross-franchise bets shaping a high-stakes battle for viewers’ attention.
Illumination and Universal push two tentpoles—the Nintendo Super Mario Galaxy Movie (out in spring) and Minions 3 (summer)—with Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day also anticipated to surface.
Minions 3 targets broad family appeal for a July release, while Toy Story 5 rumors point to continued franchise relevance.
The Super Bowl LX trailer bonanza is underway, with Disney planning spots for The Mandalorian & Grogu and possible trailers for Hoppers and Toy Story 5, while Paramount releases a Scream 7 trailer amid a track record of strong in-game marketing.
Disney, Paramount, and Universal are primed to claim prime ad slots, while Marvel isn’t promoting this year and there are no new Avengers: Doomsday or Spider-Man: Brand New Day teasers.
The event is set for February 8, 2026, with NBC, Telemundo, and Peacock carrying the broadcast.
Ad prices for 30-second Super Bowl spots are soaring, with NBC reportedly asking between $7 million and over $10 million.
Industry analysts note this year’s game is a high-stakes marketing stage, with a recent trend showing 30-second spots averaging around $10 million, up from prior years.
A number of studios are skipping in-game buys this year, opting to release trailers online in the lead-up to kickoff, while DC Studios plans a Supergirl teaser for the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet.
Lionsgate is returning to the big game with a trailer for the Michael Jackson biopic, aiming to align the global April release with a pre-game push.
Toy Story 5 from Pixar is expected to anchor June 2026 marketing with an emotional, belonging-centered trailer.
