What time and channel is the Super Bowl 60 halftime show?
The Super Bowl 60 halftime show is not on a separate channel. If you want Bad Bunny, you stay exactly where you are.
- U.S. TV: NBC
- U.S. streaming: Peacock and NFL+
- Spanish feeds: Telemundo and Universo, same as the game
- UK TV: Channel 5 and Sky’s Super Bowl coverage
With kickoff at 6:30 p.m. ET, halftime usually lands somewhere between roughly 8 and 8:30 p.m. ET, depending on how long the first half actually takes. That means you should plan for Bad Bunny to hit the stage in that window if you are in the United States.For UK viewers, that roughly translates to 1 to 1:30 a.m. GMT on Monday morning. If you are only staying up for the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, you can afford to skip the first half, then jump in a little after 1 a.m. on Channel 5 or Sky.
Bad Bunny’s Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show
This is the Bad Bunny show as much as it is Patriots vs. Seahawks. The Puerto Rican star is the first solo Latin male artist to headline the halftime stage and is expected to perform an entirely Spanish-language set.He has already done the Super Bowl cameo thing once, when he joined Shakira and Jennifer Lopez back in 2020. This time, the stage is his, even if he refuses to spill details. Asked about surprise guests, he shrugged it off with “You know that’s something that I not gonna tell you” and kept the guest list locked down.The choice has also lit up the political crowd. Donald Trump has already said he will not attend after Bad Bunny and Green Day, who both oppose his politics, were chosen. He called the decision “a terrible choice” and said “I’m anti-them. All it does is sow hatred.” That is the climate around this halftime show before a single snap is played.
Who is performing National anthem and more music performances at Super Bowl LX
If you are the type who watches Super Bowl Sunday like an awards show, the music lineup is loaded before Bad Bunny ever walks out.Here is the core list for Levi’s Stadium on Feb. 8:
- National anthem: Charlie Puth will sing “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
- “America the Beautiful”: Brandi Carlile handles that pregame performance.
- “Lift Every Voice and Sing”: Coco Jones will perform the hymn often referred to as the Black national anthem.
- Pregame concert: Green Day takes the stage at Levi’s earlier in the afternoon, around 3 p.m. local time, to help open the 60th anniversary Super Bowl party.
On top of the TV talent, NBC’s game broadcast will feature Mike Tirico on play-by-play, Cris Collinsworth in the booth, Melissa Stark and Kaylee Hartung on the sidelines, and Terry McAulay handling rules analysis.So if your group chat is split between Drake Maye vs. Sam Darnold talk and people who only care about Bad Bunny, Charlie Puth, and Green Day, this game is built for both sides. You get a full music festival wrapped around a Super Bowl rematch, and all of it lives on the same channels and streams you already use.
