Bad Bunny is poised to take centre stage at the Apple Music Super Bowl LX halftime show on Sunday, February 8, 2026, delivering a performance on one of the world's most prestigious platforms during the championship game's intermission. The event will see the Seattle Seahawks face off against the New England Patriots for the NFL title at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
A Historic Performance for Global Audiences
The halftime show, widely regarded as a pinnacle of pop culture, is renowned for its unexpected guest cameos and hit-filled setlists. The stylish Puerto Rican superstar, aged 31, boasts an extensive catalogue of chart-topping tracks and a network of A-list collaborators as he gears up to entertain a worldwide viewership. Born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, Bad Bunny has offered only a tantalising hint about his plans for the spectacle, declaring in a brief teaser video, "The world will dance."
Fresh from his historic Album of the Year victory at the 68th Grammy Awards, the outspoken artist previously faced criticism from MAGA supporters after being selected as this year's halftime performer, due to his vocal opposition to Donald Trump's immigration policies. Nonetheless, the NFL is counting on Bad Bunny to unite global audiences, particularly amidst the current political divisions in the United States.
Pioneering Spanish-Language Headliner
Despite the immense pressure, the performance is anticipated to be exceptional, especially as it marks the inaugural instance of a Spanish-language artist headlining the halftime show solo. The rapper is widely expected to become the first to deliver an entire halftime set in Spanish. Reflecting on this milestone while hosting Saturday Night Live last year, Bad Bunny emphasised that his performance would be dedicated to "all Latinos and Latinas across the world, and here in the United States, all the people who have worked to open doors." He added, "More than an achievement of mine, it's an achievement of everyone."
Setlist Predictions for the Halftime Spectacle
Based on recent performances and song popularity, the following tracks are likely to feature in Bad Bunny's halftime setlist:
- "EoO"
- "BAILE INoLVIDABLE"
- "Callaita"
- "Tití Me Preguntó"
- "VOY A LLeVARTE PA PR"
- "PERRO NEGRO"
- "El Apagón"
- "Lo Que Le Pasó a Hawaii"
- "LA NOCHE DE ANOCHE"
- "NUEVAYoL"
- "LA MuDANZA"
- "La Santa"
- "Una Velita"
- "I Like It"
- "KLOuFRENS"
- "Si Veo a Tu Mamá"
- "DtMF"
"Baile Inolvidable" was highlighted in Bad Bunny's teaser clip for the halftime performance, while "EoO" recently secured the Grammy Award for Best Global Music Performance, making both songs strong contenders for inclusion. His latest album, the Grammy-winning Debí Tirar Más Fotos, is sure to be prominently featured throughout the medley. Additionally, certain setlist choices may hint at specific celebrities joining the singer on stage.
Rumoured Guest Appearances
In last year's halftime show, Kendrick Lamar was accompanied by several notable guests, including R&B singer SZA, performing collaborations such as "Luther" and "All the Stars." Actor Samuel L. Jackson also made an appearance as "Uncle Sam" throughout the show, and tennis icon Serena Williams delivered a surprise on-field cameo.
Rapper Cardi B is almost certain to join Bad Bunny on stage for their 2018 hit "I Like It," and she is likely to be in attendance at the game to support her boyfriend, Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs. "I Like It" also features J Balvin, who has confirmed he will be in the crowd to cheer on Bad Bunny. J Balvin and Bad Bunny famously performed alongside Shakira and Jennifer Lopez during their electrifying halftime show in 2020, though J Balvin recently appeared to dismiss speculation about his return to the stage in a TMZ interview. He later stated on the Grammys red carpet, "I just wish my boy to kill it, and destroy it... But I'll be there, definitely, to support him."
Other artists speculated to make guest appearances include Rosalía, with whom Bad Bunny collaborated on the sultry duet "La Noche de Anoche," and Daddy Yankee, who has featured on several reggaeton tracks with the singer. Names such as Ozuna, Ricky Martin, and Chenco Corleone have also been floated as potential surprise guests, adding to the anticipation surrounding this groundbreaking performance.
