Super Bowl 2026 halftime show: how to watch Bad Bunny performance - and start time?
Bad Bunny is the Super Bowl halftime performer for 2026! 🌴📺
- Bad Bunny will be doing the Super Bowl halftime show.
- It comes a week after the Latin star triumphed at the Grammys.
- But when exactly can you expect his performance to begin?
One of the world’s biggest music stars is set to headline this year’s Super Bowl halftime show.
Bad Bunny reclaimed the spot as the most streamed artist on Spotify in 2025 - and triumphed at last week’s Grammy Awards. He took home the coveted album of the year gong for Debí Tirar Más Fotos - among other prizes.
He will cap a very impressive 12 months by becoming the latest Super Bowl halftime performer. Levi’s Stadium is hosting the match between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots today (February 8).
But how can you watch the performance and when will it begin? Here’s all you need to know:
How to watch Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show?
Once again, America’s Biggest Game will be broadcast live around the world. It is not just limited to audiences in the United States.
NBC is the broadcaster this year for American audiences, with Peacock streaming all the action as well. It will be the place to watch the game - and the halftime show.
For UK audiences, the Super Bowl will be live on both 5 and Sky Sports, with the former showing the action on free-to-air TV. The coverage will start at 10.30pm and 10pm respectively for viewers in Britain.
Bad Bunny’s halftime performance will be shown live on both 5 and Sky Sports. It will not be interrupted by adverts - fortunately.
If you aren’t staying up to watch it, the NFL uploads all halftime shows to YouTube in full. You will be able to find it on the official channel here.
What time will the halftime show be?
In American football, matches are split into four quarters - and each half is made up of two quarters. Bet you weren’t expecting to have to do maths when you opened this article.
So, Bad Bunny’s performance will take place after the second quarter has ended. In theory, a quarter should last around 15 minutes - but the clock does stop on numerous occasions throughout the game, so don’t expect the halftime show to arrive that quick.
The game will kick-off at 11.30pm today (February 8) and it will likely be well into the early hours of Monday (February 9) before it reaches halftime. For those braving staying up to watch it, the chances are it will likely be between 1am and 1.30am - based on previous years.
