Image Credit: Kevin Mazur/Getty Images The 2025 Super Bowl halftime show definitely left its mark. Kendrick Lamar delivered a powerful, no-holds-barred performance that critics called one of the boldest in recent memory. As soon as the lights dimmed, speculation began about who would take the stage next.
In September 2025, the NFL confirmed that global superstar Bad Bunny will headline the Super Bowl 2026 Halftime Show, marking a historic moment for Latin music on one of the world’s biggest stages. With his record-breaking hits and reputation for unforgettable live performances, excitement is already building for what promises to be an iconic show.
Below, we have the latest updates about the 2026 Super Bowl.
Kendrick Lamar’s 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show Highlights As expected, Kendrick performed his diss track against Drake “Not Like Us.” The lyrics don’t hold back from shading the “God’s Plan” hitmaker and highlighting the hip-hop artist’ longtime feud. While performing alongside SZA in anticipation for their 2025 tour, Kendrick also invited Samuel L. Jackson and Serena Williams to join him on stage. Samuel was dressed as Uncle Sam, and Serena appeared as a backup dancer, which fans took as a jab at Drake since the two previously dated.
Where Is Super Bowl 60 Being Played? The 2026 Super Bowl will be held at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, where the San Francisco Giants play. Although the 2025 game was broadcast live on Fox Sports, the 2026 event will be streamed live on Peacock in addition to NFL+ for mobile devices, according to CNBC.
Who Is Performing at Super Bowl 2026? Bad Bunny will take the stage at Super Bowl 2026. The Puerto Rican megastar, known for hits like “Tití Me Preguntó,” “Moscow Mule,” and “No Me Conoce,” will become one of the few Latin artists to ever headline the NFL’s biggest stage. The choice marks a major cultural moment, following in the footsteps of Shakira and Jennifer Lopez’s 2020 performance and Rihanna’s 2023 return.
Bad Bunny addressed both excitement and criticism about his Super Bowl gig during the Season 51 premiere of Saturday Night Live, where he served as host and musical guest. Opening his monologue in Spanish, he poked fun at critics who complained about his language and Latin influence, joking, “You have four months to learn Spanish before the Super Bowl.”
He added, “I’m very happy about the show… and I think everyone is happy about it — even Fox News.”
Like the “No me conoce” artist, Kendrick was also announced as the headliner a few months before the game. Previous Halftime Show performers were announced toward the end of the football season as well. Therefore, it’s safe to assume that we’ll learn who the next performer is during the last few months of 2025. Some fans are speculating whether or not Drake will be invited to perform as a follow-up to Kendrick’s show.
Super Bowl 60 Date The next Super Bowl will take place on Sunday, February 8, 2026.
