Bad Bunny to Headline Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show: Time & How to Watch

Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, will be the stage for a historic Super Bowl halftime show on , as Bad Bunny takes center stage during Super Bowl LX. The championship game between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks will also feature a performance by Green Day as part of the opening ceremony, a musical pairing that has already drawn attention amidst a politically charged climate.

The Puerto Rican singer, fresh off winning six Grammy Awards, will become the first Latino and Spanish-speaking artist to headline the Super Bowl halftime show solo. This performance marks a significant moment for Latin music, bringing the genre to an estimated audience of 127 million viewers.

Green Day will kick off the festivities with a special ceremony celebrating the Super Bowl’s 60th anniversary and honoring past Most Valuable Players. The California-based band will perform in their home region, the Bay Area, offering a selection of their hits as the league’s legends are recognized. The opening ceremony is designed to build excitement before kickoff, with simultaneous broadcasts on NBC and its associated platforms in the United States.

Halftime Show Timing

The Super Bowl LX game is scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.m. Pacific Time on . Bad Bunny’s halftime performance is expected to commence approximately an hour and a half into the game, around 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time, though the exact timing will depend on the flow of the game.

In the United States, the game will be broadcast on NBC and Telemundo (in select markets). Streaming options include Peacock, as well as other live TV services that carry NBC and NFL Game Pass via DAZN for those seeking the original broadcast with the full halftime show and commercials.

A Halftime Show Shaped by Political Context

The selection of both Bad Bunny and Green Day has positioned the Super Bowl as another arena in the ongoing cultural and political dialogue. Green Day’s inclusion has reignited tensions with former President Trump, following the band’s consistent criticism of his policies and their use of songs like “American Idiot” as protest anthems. At Coachella 2025, Billie Joe Armstrong adapted the lyrics of the song to explicitly denounce the MAGA movement.

Bad Bunny has also been vocal in his opposition to Trump’s immigration policies and the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), even going so far as to exclude the continental United States from one of his recent tours due to fears of raids targeting his Latino fans. In light of these concerns, the NFL has assured the public that ICE will not conduct immigration enforcement operations during the Super Bowl event.

Trump has announced he will not attend Super Bowl LX, having attended the previous year’s game, and has openly criticized both Bad Bunny and Green Day, accusing them of “spreading hate” and being a “terrible choice” for the halftime show.
