The New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks will face off in Super Bowl LX on Sunday, February 8, but the game is only part of the night’s marquee attraction. Music fans will also be tuning in for the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show, headlined by Bad Bunny.
The Grammy-winning artist is set to perform after the second quarter, with the halftime show expected to begin between 8 and 8:30 p.m. ET. Here’s everything viewers need to know about when the halftime show airs and where to watch it live.
Super Bowl LX Date and Start Time
The 2026 Super Bowl takes place Sunday, February 8, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Kickoff is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET / 3:30 p.m. PT. As with previous Super Bowls, the halftime show will follow the end of the second quarter, placing Bad Bunny’s performance roughly 90 minutes into the broadcast.
The halftime show typically runs about 13 minutes.
Super Bowl Halftime Show Headliner Bad Bunny
Bad Bunny will headline the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, marking the first time a reggaeton artist has led the event.
“It’s going to be a huge party,” Bad Bunny said in an interview ahead of the game. “What people can expect from me … I want to bring to the stage, of course, a lot of my culture. But I really don’t want to give any spoilers. It’s going to be fun.”
The global superstar, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, has been the most-streamed artist in the world and recently earned major Grammy wins. His performance will also include a multilingual signing program featuring Puerto Rican Sign Language by interpreter Celimar Rivera Cosme, who previously worked with him during his Puerto Rico residency.
Bad Bunny also referenced his October appearance on “Saturday Night Live,” where he joked that viewers had months to learn Spanish ahead of the halftime show.
“They don’t even have to learn Spanish,” he said at a news conference hosted by Apple Music. “It is better if they learn to dance.”
