🔥 Super Bowl 2026 Headliner:

Bad Bunny

The Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show will be headlined by Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican reggaeton and Latin trap superstar. This performance marks a historic moment as Bad Bunny becomes one of the first solo Latin artists — and the first male Latin headliner — to take center stage at a Super Bowl halftime show. 

The show is scheduled for Sunday, February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, and will be broadcast live on NBC, Peacock, Telemundo, and NFL+. 

Bad Bunny has teased that his performance will celebrate his cultural roots, bringing elements of Puerto Rican music and energy to one of the world’s most watched live stages. 

🎤 Pregame & National Anthem Performances

Aside from the halftime show, several artists are performing at key moments before kickoff:

🇺🇸 National Anthem & Music Performances

  • Charlie Puth — will perform “The Star-Spangled Banner” ahead of the game, showcasing his vocal talent on the NFL’s biggest stage. 

  • Brandi Carlile and Julian Ortiz — will perform “America the Beautiful”, adding depth and emotion to the pregame festivities. 

  • Coco Jones — will sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing”, known as the Black national anthem, elevating the cultural significance of the event. 

These performances set the tone for the event and celebrate the cultural diversity and unity that the Super Bowl represents.

🎸 Opening Ceremony & Additional Entertainment

To kick off celebrations before the game begins, legendary rock band Green Day will perform as part of the Super Bowl’s 60th anniversary opening ceremony. 

Celebrating the host region’s cultural roots, Green Day’s hometown connection makes the performance even more special for fans in the Bay Area.

🏈 The Game Itself

Of course, the performances are part of a larger spectacle — Super Bowl LX features a highly anticipated matchup between two NFL powerhouses:
