Bad Bunny Confirmed to Headline Super Bowl LX Halftime Show

Bad Bunny will headline Super Bowl LX as Apple Music confirmed the Puerto Rican star will be the halftime performer at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

The news was revealed at the end of the first half of “Sunday Night Football,” building anticipation for what is sure to be one of the most exciting Super Bowl performances in recent memory.

Bad Bunny (real name: Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) is a Puerto Rican musician who has had the third most streams globally on Spotify in 2024. Dubbed the “King of Latin Trap” and credited with making Spanish-language music mainstream, he stated in a release, “What I’m experiencing is greater than myself. It is for those before me, who ran hundreds of yards for I could come and get a touchdown. For my people, for my culture and history. Ve y dile a tu abuela, que seremos el HALFTIME SHOW DEL SUPER BOWL.”

A Global Star with Community Roots

Bad Bunny’s new album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and was No. 1 on the U.S. streaming chart upon release. Earlier this year, he recently completed a 30-date residency in San Juan, Puerto Rico, which helped substantially boost local tourism during hurricane season. The show brought fans worldwide and demonstrated Bad Bunny’s pure connection to the island.

Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter commended Bad Bunny, saying, “What Benito has done and continues to do for Puerto Rico is inspiring. We are privileged to have him on the world’s biggest stage.”

Super Bowl 60 Hosted at Levi’s Stadium

Super Bowl 60 is scheduled for February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, which is the home of the San Francisco 49ers. The game will air live on NBC and stream on Peacock. The last halftime show of Super Bown 59 featured Kendrick Lamar, who became the first solo rapper to perform in the show and recorded 133.5 million viewers.

Anticipation is already back at peak levels with Bad Bunny being the halftime performer. Known for his ability to mix reggaeton, hip-hop, and trap with an amazing stage presence, he is expected to generate a cultural moment as much as a musical moment. From Puerto Rico to the NFL’s biggest moment seems like the most natural and overdue chain of events.
