The NFL has unveiled the leading acts for the upcoming 2026 Super Bowl, showcasing Coco Jones, Charlie Puth, and Brandi Carlile as the main pregame entertainers. They will be joined by Bad Bunny, who will grace the stage for the halftime show during Super Bowl LX on February 8, 2026.

Charlie Puth is set to deliver the national anthem, featuring “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Coco Jones will perform “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” widely regarded as the Black national anthem. Meanwhile, Brandi Carlile will present “America the Beautiful” before the competition kicks off between the top NFL teams.

Desiree Perez, CEO of Roc Nation, praised the trio as “generational talents” and expressed the NFL’s pride in showcasing them on a global platform. She emphasized that this event highlights the best of American culture, including live musical performances reflecting national pride.

In an inclusive effort, the NFL will feature American Sign Language (ASL) performers for all key elements of the event. Fred Beam will interpret both “The Star-Spangled Banner” and “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” while Julian Ortiz will sign “America the Beautiful.” Additionally, a first for the halftime show will include multilingual signing, with Celimar Rivera Cosme signing in Puerto Rican Sign Language during Bad Bunny’s performance.

Charlie Puth shared a humorous social media video celebrating the announcement, struggling to convey the challenges of singing the national anthem to a group of football players, who accidentally begin chanting, “Whose house? Our house!” making the moment even more delightful.

Expectations are high for the 2026 Super Bowl, promising one of the most vibrant and diverse pregame performances ever, highlighted by powerhouse vocals, ASL interpreters, and an electrifying halftime show by Bad Bunny.
