— Drake Maye vs. Sam Darnold will be among the familiar faces at the Super Bowl when the New England Patriots go for an unprecedented Record-Extending 7th Super Bowl title against the Seattle Seakawks on Feb. 8 in Santa Clara, CA.

Spotify’s most-streamed superstar of 2025, Bad Bunny, is set to take the field on Sunday, Feb. 8, 2026, to headline the Super Bowl 2026 halftime show at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

In a statement issued when the NFL announced its choice, the Puerto Rican hitmaker reflected on the honor.

"What I'm feeling goes beyond myself," he said. “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."

Music’s biggest stage will also feature award-winning artists performing the national anthem, “America the Beautiful” and “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” the Black national anthem.

Bad Bunny (real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio), the Puerto Rican global superstar born in 1994, headlines the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show on February 8, 2026, at Levi's Stadium during the New England Patriots vs. Seattle Seahawks game.

He makes history as the first Latino and first Spanish-language solo headliner in Super Bowl halftime show history.

It promises to captivate millions of viewers and celebrate Latin music on football's biggest stage, potentially including surprise guests for an unforgettable set.
