2026 Super Bowl LX Halftime Show: Bad Bunny
“What I’m feeling goes beyond myself. It’s for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could come in and score a touchdown. This is for my people, my culture and our history,” he said in announcing the news Sunday night.
Bad Bunny is the headliner for the 2026 Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show.
He follows in the footsteps of Grammy-winning rapper Kendrick Lamar, who took the Super Bowl LIX stage by storm earlier this year.
The recording artist posted the news on Instagram account on Sunday night with the caption: “Super Bowl LX. Bay Area. February 2026. #AppleMusicHalftime.”
Apple Music, the NFL and Roc Nation shared the news, which was also announced during NBC Sports Sunday Night Football coverage of the Green Bay Packers at Dallas Cowboys on NBC and Peacock.
Commented Roc Nation founder Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter: “What Benito has done and continues to do for Puerto Rico is truly inspiring. We are honored to have him on the world’s biggest stage.”
Bad Bunny joins a coveted list of artists who have gotten the opportunity to headline the NFL’s biggest night, including Lamar, Michael Jackson, Rihanna, Beyoncé, Madonna, Lady Gaga, Bruce Springsteen, Diana Ross, Katy Perry, The Weeknd, Usher, The Rolling Stones and Bruno Mars, among many others.
The Puerto Rican singer, a three-time Grammy winner, will host NBC’s Saturday Night Live Season 51 premiere, with musical guest Doja Cat, on October 4.
He’s also recently added acting to his resume, with credits including Bullet Train, Happy Gilmore 2 and Caught Stealing.
Super Bowl LX will air on NBC and stream on Peacock. The game will take place on Sunday, Feb. 8, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, home of the San Francisco 49ers.
The Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show telecast will be produced by DPS with Roc Nation and Jesse Collins serving as executive producers, and Hamish Hamilton serving as director. Roc Nation also serves as the strategic entertainment advisor of the live performance.
