The NFL has revealed a star-packed entertainment lineup for Super Bowl LX, elevating anticipation for one of the world’s most-watched sporting events. The championship game is scheduled for February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, and will air live on Fox.
A Powerhouse Pregame Lineup
This year’s pregame ceremonies will showcase three celebrated voices across contemporary American music.
Charlie Puth will perform the U.S. national anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
Brandi Carlile will deliver a rendition of “America the Beautiful.”
Coco Jones is set to sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”
Their performances represent a blend of pop, Americana, and soul—an intentional strategy by the NFL to honor tradition while appealing to younger and more diverse audiences. The selection reflects the league’s ongoing approach of pairing cultural relevance with national significance.
Bad Bunny to Headline the Halftime Show
The headliner announcement has already sparked global excitement: Bad Bunny will lead the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show, becoming the first primarily Spanish-language artist to headline solo. His performance follows the release of his latest album, continuing his streak as one of the most dominant figures in global music.
The halftime show will also feature a multilingual signing presentation, with Celimar Rivera Cosme delivering the performance in Puerto Rican Sign Language. This marks a historic move toward broader cultural and accessibility inclusion—an area the NFL has increasingly prioritized.
A New Era of Global Entertainment
With performers who command massive worldwide followings, the NFL is signaling a shifting entertainment model aimed at expanding its viewership. Super Bowl programming has long been a pop-culture milestone, and 2026 appears poised to amplify that status.
Last year’s Super Bowl halftime show drew widespread attention for its fusion of music genres and collaborative staging, setting a high bar that Bad Bunny’s set is expected to exceed through spectacle and international influence.
Looking Ahead
As anticipation builds, the 2026 Super Bowl is already being celebrated as a transformative moment for both sports and entertainment. With a dynamic pregame slate and a groundbreaking halftime show, this year’s event promises a global cultural celebration alongside world-class football.
