Puerto Rican megastar Bad Bunny is performing at the Super Bowl 60 Halftime Show at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara on Feb. 8, 2026, Apple Music announced during halftime of “Sunday Night Football.”
The Latin pop sensation will make an exclusive stop in the United States during a worldwide tour for his album “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS” to perform at the world’s most-watched television event of the year: The Super Bowl.
The performance will be the artist’s second time at the Super Bowl after his appearance with Shakira and Jennifer Lopez during halftime at Super Bowl LIV in 2020. Bad Bunny will make history as the first male Latin artist to headline the halftime show at the 2026 Super Bowl.
Bad Bunny last performed in the Bay Area at the Chase Center in San Francisco in March 2024. The announcement of his show in Santa Clara is a surprise after his tour announcement did not include any dates in the United States, which the artist said was due to concerns about potential ICE raids and fear for his fans’ safety.
The “King of Latin Trap” advances his conquest of the world’s charts with a performance on the world’s biggest stage. Bad Bunny will be challenged to bring another legendary performance to the Super Bowl Halftime Show that has featured the likes of Michael Jackson, Prince and, most recently, Kendrick Lamar in an Emmy-award-winning performance in New Orleans.
The Bay Area Host Committee president and CEO Zaileen Janmohamed lauded the decision to have Bad Bunny perform at Levi’s Stadium, describing the Puerto Rican phenom as “one of the most awarded and celebrated artists of the last decade.”
“The Super Bowl Halftime Show is one of the most anticipated and iconic musical performances in the world, and we are confident that Bad Bunny will deliver an unforgettable experience for fans in Levi’s® Stadium and watching globally,” Janmohamed said in a news release. “This selection further amplifies the Bay Area’s position as a premier destination for world-class events, and we look forward to a spectacular show that showcases the unique spirit and diversity of our region.”
“What I’m feeling goes beyond myself,” Bad Bunny said in a statement. “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. Ve y dile a tu abuela, que seremos el HALFTIME SHOW DEL SUPER BOWL.”
On X, Bad Bunny addressed the Super Bowl performance in Santa Clara after he previously said he would not perform in the United States.
“I’ve been thinking about it these days, and after discussing it with my team, I think I’ll do just one date in the United States,” Bad Bunny wrote.
