In Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, music stars hyped fans for the NFL final between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks. Green Day headlined the pre-game ceremony, with celebrities like Roger Federer and Kim Kardashian in attendance. The halftime show featuring Bad Bunny is eagerly anticipated.
The Super Bowl 2026 final, the 60th edition, takes place at the San Francisco 49ers' stadium in Santa Clara. Before the kickoff between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks, the opening ceremony built excitement. The US punk rock band Green Day headlined with hits like “Holiday,” “Boulevard of Broken Dreams,” and “American Idiot.” Charlie Puth performed the US national anthem, Coco Jones sang “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” and Brandi Carlile delivered “America the Beautiful.”
The event staged the finale as a national spectacle: footage of the 332nd Air Expeditionary Wing was shown, followed by fighter jets flying overhead. Attendees included stars like Roger Federer, Travis Scott, Jon Bon Jovi, Jay-Z with daughter Blue Ivy, Kim Kardashian, and Lewis Hamilton. US President Donald Trump was absent, unlike the previous year.
The halftime show promises highlights from Bad Bunny, the Puerto Rican reggaeton star Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. He recently won the Grammy for Album of the Year and is Spotify's most-streamed artist. Bad Bunny will perform exclusively in Spanish for the first time, sparking political debates—notably due to his criticism of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Trump's deportation policies. The musician promised “fun and dance.” In Germany, RTL broadcasts the event.
