Super Bowl Countdown Nears End as Bad Bunny Prepares for Historic Halftime Show

The countdown to Super Bowl LX is almost over, with global anticipation building as Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny prepares to headline the halftime show in what is being billed as a historic performance.

The championship game, set at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, will feature the Seattle Seahawks facing the New England Patriots, with millions of viewers expected worldwide.

Alongside the football action, the halftime show has become one of the most anticipated musical events of the year, and this year’s spotlight falls on the Grammy-winning reggaeton and Latin trap icon.

Bad Bunny, who recently made history by winning Album of the Year at the 2026 Grammys for his Spanish-language album Debí Tirar Más Fotos, is set to deliver a performance centered on unity, culture, and his Puerto Rican roots.

He has described the show as a “huge party” that will celebrate Latin identity and bring his culture to a global audience.

The halftime set is expected to run about 12–15 minutes, in line with traditional Super Bowl performances, and may feature surprise guest appearances. The performance is widely seen as a landmark moment for Latino representation on one of the world’s most-watched stages.

The event will also feature a star-studded pregame lineup, including performances by Green Day, Charlie Puth, Brandi Carlile, and Coco Jones.

Despite the excitement, the show has also generated political and cultural debate in the United States due to Bad Bunny’s outspoken views on immigration and social issues. Supporters have praised his selection as a milestone for representation, while some conservative figures have criticized the choice.

Halftime performers traditionally receive little direct payment but gain massive exposure, with recent shows drawing more than 130 million viewers.

With kickoff approaching, fans around the world are waiting to see how the global Latin music star will transform the Super Bowl stage in what could become one of the most memorable halftime performances in the event’s history.
