Bad Bunny, the King of Reggaeton, to Headline the Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show

The worlds of music and American football merge once again with a groundbreaking announcement: Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican phenomenon who has conquered the globe with his Latin trap and reggaeton music, will headline the Apple Music Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show on February 8, 2026, at Levi's Stadium. This selection not only promises a 13-minute, high-energy performance, but also represents a cultural milestone for the Latino community on the world's most-watched television platform, with over 100 million viewers annually.

The NFL, Apple Music, and Roc Nation—Jay-Z's company, which has produced these shows since 2019—revealed the news on Sunday during the halftime of the Green Bay Packers vs. Dallas Cowboys game on "Sunday Night Football." Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, celebrated the news with a distinctly Puerto Rican flair: he appeared in a video wearing a straw hat, flip-flops, and a suit inspired by the legendary Héctor Lavoe, posing on a football post at sunset on a beach in Puerto Rico. "Go tell your grandma that we're going to be the SUPER BOWL HALFTIME SHOW!" he exclaimed in his official statement.
