The NFL has officially confirmed that Bad Bunny will headline the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show, marking yet another milestone in the rapper-singer’s trailblazing career.
The announcement was made earlier today across Bad Bunny’s social media channels, where the Puerto Rican star shared an image of himself perched atop a football goal post, teasing fans with his signature mix of humour and swagger.
Scheduled for February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in San Francisco, California, the performance is expected to draw in hundreds of millions of viewers worldwide.
Following in Record-Breaking Footsteps
Bad Bunny’s booking comes on the heels of Kendrick Lamar’s groundbreaking Halftime Show earlier this year. Lamar not only became the first solo rapper to headline the coveted slot, but his performance also shattered viewing records, becoming the most-watched Halftime Show in history.
The bar has been set high, but if anyone can rise to the occasion, it’s Bad Bunny. Known for electrifying performances and genre-bending artistry, the Latin megastar has consistently pushed cultural boundaries while dominating charts globally.
A Global Icon
Since bursting onto the scene in the late 2010s, Bad Bunny, real name Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, has become a household name worldwide. His innovative blend of reggaeton, Latin trap, and hip-hop has made him one of the most streamed artists in the world year after year.
He’s collaborated with the likes of Drake, Cardi B, and J Balvin, and even crossed into the wrestling world with WWE appearances, further cementing his reputation as one of entertainment’s most versatile figures. His most recent world tour sold out arenas across multiple continents, with critics praising his ability to deliver a stadium-filling spectacle every night.
What to Expect at the Halftime Show
While official details about the Halftime Show remain tightly under wraps, fans are already speculating about potential surprise guests. Given his long list of collaborators, names like Karol G, J Balvin, and Rosalía are being thrown into the mix, though nothing has yet been confirmed.
What is certain is that Bad Bunny will bring Latin music and culture to one of the world’s biggest stages, continuing the NFL’s recent trend of spotlighting diverse global talent.
Fan Reactions
Almost immediately after the announcement, social media erupted with excitement. On X the phrase “Bad Bunny Super Bowl” began trending worldwide within minutes. Fans praised the decision as a long-overdue recognition of Latin music’s massive influence on the global stage.
One fan wrote: “This is history. Bad Bunny is about to bring the biggest party the Super Bowl has ever seen!” Another added: “Latin music has gone mainstream, this moment is bigger than music.”
With more than five months to go until the big game, anticipation will only continue to grow. If Bad Bunny’s past performances are anything to go by, viewers can expect a Halftime Show packed with energy, culture, and history in the making.
