Bad Bunny to make history at Super Bowl LX halftime show

Super Bowl Sunday is here. While most fans are focused on who will win the Lombardi Trophy, another performance is generating global buzz.

The Super Bowl halftime show remains a major event that many viewers tune in for each year.

Here’s what you need to know to prepare for the Super Bowl LX halftime show:

When is the Superbowl halftime show?

The Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show is scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 8, 2026, during the NFL’s championship game at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

It will air live on NBC, Peacock, Telemundo and NFL+, with the performance slated for the traditional halftime window between the second and third quarters.

Who’s performing in this year’s halftime show?

Headlining this year’s show is Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican superstar known for his genre-blending reggaeton and Latin trap hits. He will be the first solo Spanish-speaking artist and male Latin performer to headline the Super Bowl halftime show.

Bad Bunny’s set is expected to feature a high-energy medley of his biggest songs and a “huge party” vibe.

Who is Bad Bunny?

Born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, Bad Bunny rose from posting music online to becoming one of the most streamed artists in the world. He has won multiple Grammy Awards and made history when his album “Debí Tirar Más Fotos” became the first Spanish-language record to win Album of the Year at the Grammys.

Bad Bunny is also known for his bold fashion choices, outspoken views on culture and identity, and a career that spans music, acting and even wrestling.

The halftime show announcement drew criticism from President Donald Trump, who in October 2025 called the booking “absolutely ridiculous”.

A “All American Halftime Show” put on by nonprofit Turning Point USA will offer an alternative halftime performance for those who don’t want to watch the original halftime performance. This show will feature performances by Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice and Gabby Barrett.
