Bad Bunny<\/a> will perform the halftime show at Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara, California on Sunday, February 8, 2026. The news arrived during tonight\u2019s (September 28) Sunday Night Football<\/em> game between the Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys. Watch the announcement video below.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat I\u2019m feeling goes beyond myself,\u201d Bad Bunny said in a statement to Billboard<\/em><\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s for those who came before me and ran countless yards so I could come in and score a touchdown\u2026 this is for my people, my culture and our history. Ve y dile a tu abuela, que seremos el HALFTIME SHOW DEL SUPER BOWL.\u201d<\/p>\n In a statement to Variety<\/em><\/a>, Roc Nation founder Jay-Z<\/a> added, \u201cWhat Benito has done and continues to do for Puerto Rico is truly inspiring.\u201d His company has partnered with the NFL in booking the Super Bowl halftime show since 2019.<\/p>\n Super Bowl LX takes place at Santa Clara\u2019s Levi\u2019s Stadium. Apple Music is the halftime show\u2019s presenting sponsor<\/a>, so the 2026 event is formally known as the Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show.<\/p>\n Bad Bunny shared his latest album, Deb\u00ed Tirar M\u00e1s Fotos<\/em><\/a>, in January. The Puerto Rican superstar has since made his third appearance as Saturday Night Live<\/em>\u2019s musical guest<\/a> and staged a 30-show concert residency<\/a> in San Juan. His upcoming world tour<\/a> in support of Deb\u00ed Tirar M\u00e1s Fotos<\/em> kicks off in November and is set to run through July 2026, with no stops in the United states currently planned. That means Bad Bunny\u2019s halftime show will be his only stateside performance for the forseeable future.<\/p>\n \u201c[Estuve] pensando en estos d\u00edas, y luego de hablarlo con mi equipo, creo que har\u00e9 una sola fecha en Estados Unidos,\u201d Bad Bunny wrote in an X post<\/a> prior to the announcement. Translated, it reads: \u201cI’ve been thinking about it these days, and after discussing it with my team, I think I’ll do just one date in the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n This past February, in New Orleans, Kendrick Lamar<\/a> played the Super Bowl LIX halftime show<\/a>, becoming the first rapper to headline the event as a solo artist. During his set, Lamar brought out Samuel L. Jackson, SZA<\/a>, Serena Williams, and Mustard<\/a>. He also repeatedly dissed Drake<\/a> to camera. A performer in the show was detained<\/a> and subsequently arrested<\/a> months later for unfurling a Sudanese-Palestinian flag during the performance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
