What to expect from Bad Bunny’s halftime show

Bad Bunny (Benito Martínez Ocasio) takes the Super Bowl LX halftime stage at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara on Feb. 8, 2026. The trailer released ahead of the show teases high-energy choreography and the singer performing his hit “BAILE INoLVIDABLE,” signaling a dance-forward set that leans into his recent album sound.

Organizers are keeping many details secret, but fans expect a performance rooted in Puerto Rican rhythm and visual nods to the singer’s cultural heritage. Bad Bunny’s recent sold‑out residency in Puerto Rico — No Me Quiero Ir De Aqui — and his Grammy-winning album DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS are likely sources of inspiration for the halftime staging.

Likely songs and setlist anchors

While an official setlist hasn’t been released, songs widely expected to appear include:

  • “BAILE INoLVIDABLE”
  • Selections from DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS
  • Hits like “Tití Me Preguntó” and “DTMF” that have amassed billions of streams

Collaborations and surprise guests are common at Super Bowl halftimes; many fans hope Bad Bunny will spotlight fellow Latin artists or remixes that bridge English and Spanish audiences.

Grammys momentum and cultural milestone

Bad Bunny arrived at the Super Bowl coming off a historic night at the 68th Grammys, where he won three awards including Album of the Year. Performing at one of the world’s most watched live events places a Spanish-language artist on one of the biggest U.S. stages, a milestone for Latin music and Puerto Rican representation.

Controversy and reactions

Reactions to Bad Bunny’s headliner role have been mixed. Supporters celebrate a major step for Spanish-language music at the Super Bowl. Critics have objected to his choice to perform primarily in Spanish and to some of his political stances. In response, conservative group Turning Point USA announced an online counterprogram dubbed “The All-American Halftime Show,” featuring Kid Rock streamed during the official halftime window.

Super Bowl LX, pitting the Seattle Seahawks against the New England Patriots, kicks off at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT on Feb. 8, 2026. The halftime show will air live with the game; check local listings or streaming platforms carrying the NFL broadcast to watch.
