It’s official: global superstar Bad Bunny will headline the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show on February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
The Puerto Rican icon, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, shared his excitement in a heartfelt statement:
“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. Ve y dile a tu abuela, que seremos el HALFTIME SHOW DEL SUPER BOWL.”
This marks Bad Bunny’s second Super Bowl appearance. In 2020, he joined Shakira and Jennifer Lopez on stage in a performance widely celebrated for its vibrant representation of Latin culture.
Bad Bunny has been unstoppable in 2025. His sixth solo album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, released in January, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200—his fourth chart-topping album. All 17 tracks from the project entered the Billboard Hot 100, pushing his career tally to over 100 Hot 100 entries.
He also staged an ambitious 30-date residency in Puerto Rico, a cultural phenomenon that boosted the island’s economy and attracted A-list guests from around the world.
Bad Bunny follows a legacy of high-profile halftime performers since Jay-Z’s Roc Nation began curating the shows in 2019. Recent headliners include Kendrick Lamar (2025), whose performance set a record with 133.5 million viewers, along with Usher (2024), Rihanna (2023), Dr. Dre & friends (2022), The Weeknd (2021), and Jennifer Lopez and Shakira (2020).
Jay-Z praised the artist’s cultural impact in a statement:
“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.”
For Bad Bunny, the Super Bowl stage is more than just music—it’s about representation, legacy, and pride. With his record-breaking momentum and global influence, fans can expect a show that fuses Latin culture with the grandeur of the NFL’s biggest night.
Super Bowl LX kicks off February 8, 2026, and all eyes will be on Bad Bunny when halftime arrives.
