The NFL revealed its pregame entertainment lineup for Super Bowl LX, setting the stage for a star-powered Sunday at Levi’s Stadium on February 8, 2026. The broadcast will air live on NBC, Telemundo and Peacock, and the league is leaning heavily into a mix of chart-topping names and cultural impact to open its biggest event of the year.
The league announced that Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter Charlie Puth will perform the national anthem, while 11-time Grammy winner Brandi Carlile will deliver America the Beautiful. Rising R&B star Coco Jones will take on Lift Every Voice and Sing, continuing her rapid ascent as one of the genre’s most prominent new artists.
“Super Bowl Sunday is the world’s biggest entertainment stage, and we’re proud to spotlight artists who embody the very best of music and culture,” said Jon Barker, the NFL’s senior vice president of global event production. He added that beyond the game itself, the event serves as a global celebration, and the performers help set the tone for a day that draws hundreds of millions of viewers.
Roc Nation, which continues its partnership with the NFL on Super Bowl entertainment, echoed that sentiment. “Charlie, Brandi, and Coco are generational talents, and we are honored to have them—alongside our extraordinary deaf performers—on Super Bowl LX’s world stage,” Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez said. She noted that the combination represents “the very best of culture, live performance, and our country.”
Puth enters the event with more than 35 billion streams and a catalog full of platinum hits, including Attention, We Don’t Talk Anymore, and the global smash See You Again. His Super Bowl appearance arrives just weeks before the release of his fourth studio album, Whatever’s Clever!, scheduled for March 6, 2026.
Carlile, one of the most decorated and respected artists in modern music, adds another major stage to her résumé. The Oscar-nominated, 11-time Grammy winner recently released Returning to Myself, a critically acclaimed solo album that Variety hailed as one of the year’s best. Her work with Elton John on Who Believes in Angels? also earned a nomination for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.
Jones, who stars in Peacock’s Bel-Air, continues to build momentum following her 2024 Grammy win for Best R&B Performance for ICU. Her debut album, Why Not More?, has already secured eight Grammy nominations, including Best R&B Album in 2026.
In addition to the musical performances, the NFL emphasized its continued commitment to accessibility. The pregame show will feature American Sign Language interpretations from renowned Deaf artists Fred Beam and Julian Ortiz. For the first time, the Apple Music Halftime Show will incorporate a multilingual signing program, led by Puerto Rican Deaf performer Celimar Rivera Cosme, using Puerto Rican Sign Language.
The NFL previously announced that global superstar Bad Bunny will headline the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, produced by DPS with Roc Nation and Jesse Collins as executive producers.
