The NFL has confirmed that Puerto Rican music sensation Bad Bunny will headline the Super Bowl LX halftime show on February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell expressed confidence in the choice, saying the performance will be “a great show” and “an exciting and uniting moment” for fans.
Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is a Grammy-winning artist celebrated for his Spanish-language music and advocacy for Latino communities. His selection has drawn criticism from some conservative voices, including former President Donald Trump, who labeled it “absolutely ridiculous.” Despite the backlash, Goodell emphasized Bad Bunny’s international popularity and the NFL’s dedication to representing a wide and diverse audience.
The announcement has also received support from fellow artists and fans, who see the performance as a milestone for Latino visibility in mainstream entertainment. Bad Bunny expressed pride in the opportunity, noting that the show is “for my people, my culture, and our history.”
As the game approaches, the NFL is committed to delivering a halftime experience that celebrates cultural diversity and brings fans together.
