The Super Bowl LX takes center stage tonight at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, with Bad Bunny set to headline the halftime show. The NFL championship game between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks already carries major sporting stakes, but the halftime show adds historic weight. Bad Bunny becomes the first solo male Latin artist to headline the Super Bowl halftime show and the first performer to deliver a full set entirely in Spanish. Sponsored by Apple Music, the performance signals a cultural milestone.
Over the past year, Bad Bunny has been everywhere. His latest album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, earned Grammy recognition and topped charts worldwide. He is no stranger to the Super Bowl stage, having appeared in 2020 alongside Shakira and Jennifer Lopez during their co-headlining performance, where he joined for “I Like It.” This time, however, the spotlight is entirely his.
In interviews leading up to the game, Bad Bunny has described the show as a “huge party,” centered on joy, unity, and celebration. He has emphasized that language will not be a barrier. Viewers, he said, “don’t have to learn Spanish” to feel the energy or understand the emotion. As fans count down the hours until the show, here’s a comprehensive guide.
How to watch
Super Bowl LX kicks off at 6:30 p.m. ET (3:30 p.m. PT). The halftime show typically begins between 8:00 and 8:30 p.m. ET, depending on game flow. Bad Bunny’s performance is expected to run between 12 and 15 minutes, in line with recent halftime shows. Fans can expect a large-scale production featuring dancers, elaborate staging, pyrotechnics, and visual tributes to Puerto Rican culture.
The game and halftime show will air live on NBC and stream on Peacock in the United States. Internationally, Apple Music will host a dedicated stream of the halftime performance, continuing its partnership with the NFL.
Potential setlist
An official setlist has not been released, but the performance will likely draw heavily from Debí Tirar Más Fotos. Tracks such as “DtMF,” “Baile Inolvidable,” and “EoO” are widely expected. At the same time, Bad Bunny’s catalog of global hits leaves room for crowd favorites. Songs like “Tití Me Preguntó,” “LA NOCHE DE ANOCHE,” “DÁKITI,” and “I Like It” remain staples of his live shows.
Potential guests
Speculation around surprise guests has intensified as game day arrives. Cardi B is considered a strong possibility, fueled by their chart-topping collaboration “I Like It” and her presence at the game to support her partner, Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs. J Balvin is another frequent name in fan discussions, given their shared history and collaborative work.
Other rumored appearances include Young Miko, Rauw Alejandro, and Marc Anthony, each representing different facets of Puerto Rican and Latin music culture. While nothing has been confirmed, Bad Bunny’s history suggests at least one unexpected cameo.
