Why it matters

The Super Bowl halftime show is one of the most coveted and high-profile performance slots in the music industry. Landing the gig can provide huge exposure and promotion opportunities for the selected artist. Fans are eager to see who the NFL will choose to headline next year's show, which falls on Valentine's Day.

The details

This was the biggest single-day total for any artist in 2026. The NFL tradition dictates that artists perform for free at the Super Bowl, with the exposure and promotion being the main draw for performers.

• Super Bowl 61 is scheduled for Valentine's Day 2027.

What’s next

Super Bowl 61 is scheduled for Valentine's Day 2027, so the NFL will likely announce the halftime show performer in the coming months.
