Bad Bunny is set to make history as the first solo Latin artist and Spanish-language headliner to take the Super Bowl halftime stage. The 31-year-old singer, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is expected to perform a 13-minute set featuring a medley of his biggest hits, including songs like "Dákiti," "Me Porto Bonito," and "Tití Me Preguntó." While details about the milestone performance have been kept under wraps, speculation is rife about potential surprise guests such as Jennifer Lopez, Daddy Yankee, Cardi B, and Shakira joining Bad Bunny on the Levi's Stadium stage in Santa Clara, California on Sunday, February 8.

Why it matters

Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show performance marks a significant milestone for Latin music, as he becomes the first solo Spanish-language artist to headline the prestigious event. This moment underscores the growing influence and popularity of Latin artists on the global stage, and could pave the way for more diverse representation at future Super Bowl halftime shows.

The details

Bad Bunny, who recently made history as the first Spanish-language album to win Album of the Year at the Grammys, has described the process of narrowing down his setlist to just 13 minutes as "very intense." However, the all-Spanish set is expected to feature a high-energy medley of the performer's biggest hits, spanning Latin trap, reggaeton, pop, and R&B genres. While no official guest announcements have been made, rumors suggest the possibility of appearances by fellow Puerto Rican artists like Jennifer Lopez and Daddy Yankee, as well as a potential reunion with Colombian superstar Shakira, who co-headlined the 2020 Super Bowl halftime show.

  • The Super Bowl LX halftime show will take place on Sunday, February 8, 2026.
  • Bad Bunny's performance is expected to start sometime between 8:00 and 8:30 p.m. ET, following the game's 6:30 p.m. ET kickoff.
