Bad Bunny to Headline Super Bowl LX Halftime Show in 2026

Santa Clara, California — Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican pop star, has been announced as the headliner for the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, scheduled for February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium. This marks a significant moment as Bad Bunny, a three-time Grammy winner and the most-streamed artist globally, prepares to take the stage on one of television’s biggest nights.

In a statement about the upcoming performance, Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, expressed, ‘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.’

Bad Bunny will follow in the footsteps of recent halftime performers including Kendrick Lamar, Usher, and Rihanna. Last year’s halftime show featuring Kendrick Lamar drew a record 127 million viewers, highlighting the tremendous reach of these performances.

The artist has had a remarkable year, releasing his album Debí Tirar Más Fotos and launching a successful residency in Puerto Rico that attracted over 500,000 fans. In addition to his music career, Bad Bunny has ventured into acting, appearing in films like Bullet Train and the upcoming Happy Gilmore 2.

Jay-Z, who oversees halftime show booking through his company Roc Nation, praised Bad Bunny for his contributions to Puerto Rico and said, ‘What Benito has done and continues to do for Puerto Rico is truly inspiring.’ Roc Nation will produce the halftime show, marking their seventh consecutive year in this role.

The excitement surrounding Super Bowl LX continues to build, especially with Bad Bunny’s unique ability to connect with diverse audiences. Apple Music has partnered with the NFL to present this event, with executives emphasizing Bad Bunny’s role in elevating Latin music within mainstream pop culture.

As the date approaches, fans eagerly await details on the performance and any potential guest appearances. Bad Bunny’s return to the Super Bowl stage is expected to make waves, adding to the legacy of one of football’s most celebrated traditions.
