The Music Lover's Guide to the 2026 Super Bowl
"The sports people can have their little game, but the rest of us know that the Super Bowl is really about various chip dips, weird commercials, and incredible live music. Fresh off the Grammys last Sunday, the February 8 game will feature a bevy of musical numbers. The number of performances has even increased in recent years: The Black national anthem "Lift Every Voice and Sing" was added"
"Bad Bunny, fresh off his historic Grammy win for Album of the Year, is taking on the biggest stage in the country. The Puerto Rican pop sensation won the Grammy for his album DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, which translates to "We should have taken more photos." The record is both modern and tackles classic Puerto Rican styles, so audiences should expect to see a blend of the old and the new."
The February 8 Super Bowl will emphasize musical performances alongside the game and will air on NBC and Peacock. The opening ceremony will include a performance of the Black national anthem "Lift Every Voice and Sing" and an extra musical salute marking 60 years of Super Bowls. Bad Bunny will headline the halftime show after winning the Grammy for Album of the Year for DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, a record that blends modern pop with classic Puerto Rican styles. Charlie Puth will perform "The Star-Spangled Banner" at 6:00 p.m. ET, and Coco Jones will sing the Black national anthem.
