Despite the 2025 NFL regular season being in full swing, football fans are already looking ahead to the NFL’s annual championship game, the ever-so-popular Super Bowl.
Like in past years, the American tradition filled with food, football, quirky commercials and a star-studded halftime show takes place in February.
Here’s what to know about Super Bowl 60, including when and where it will be played and who’s performing at halftime.
Where is Super Bowl 2026?
Super Bowl 60 will be played at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, the venue typically home to the San Francisco 49ers. This will be the second time the stadium, which opened in 2014, will serve as the venue for the big game.
The first Levi’s Stadium Super Bowl took place in 2016 when the Denver Broncos defeated the Carolina Panthers 24-10 in Peyton Manning’s final NFL game.
What channel is Super Bowl 60 on?
NBC owns the broadcast rights to Super Bowl 60. That puts the network’s “Sunday Night Football” crew of play-by-play announcer Mike Tirico, game analyst Cris Collinsworth and sideline reporter Melissa Stark in line to call the game.
In addition to NBC, the game will also air on Telemundo and Peacock.

What time is the 2026 Super Bowl?
The Super Bowl will be held on the second Sunday in February, as it has been since the league shifted to a 17-game schedule for the 2021 NFL season.
Who’s singing the national anthem at Super Bowl 2026?
The NFL has not released any information on who might sing the national anthem at Super Bowl 60. Singer and composer Jon Batiste sang the national anthem at Super Bowl 59 earlier this year.
Who’s performing the Super Bowl 2026 halftime show?
Bad Bunny, a three-time Grammy-winning Puerto Rican rapper, will headline the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show. The news was announced Sept. 28 during the “Sunday Night Football” game between the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers.
Bad Bunny − in a collaboration post with the NFL, Apple Music and Roc Nation − shared a video of himself sitting atop a goal post on a beach as his “Callaíta” plays in the background.
“Super Bowl LX. Bay Area. February 2026,” the post was captioned.
In a nod to his Puerto Rican heritage, Bad Bunny wore a pava, a traditional hat made from leaves of the Puerto Rican hat palm. “What I’m feeling goes beyond myself,” Bad Bunny said in a statement shared by the NFL. “This is for my people, my culture, and our history.”
“Ve y dile a tu abuela, que seremos el HALFTIME SHOW DEL SUPER BOWL,” the musician added, which translates to, “Go on and tell your grandma that we’ll be at the Super Bowl halftime show.”
On Sept. 28, rapper Jay-Z said in a statement he was “honored” to have Bad Bunny on “the world’s biggest stage.”
“What Benito has done and continues to do for Puerto Rico is truly inspiring,” he said.
Who is Bad Bunny?
The artist dubbed the “King of Latin Trap” was announced as the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show performer Sept. 28, a week after he concluded his 31-date Puerto Rico residency. Bad Bunny became the first non-English American artist to be Spotify’s most-streamed artist of the year for three years in a row, 2020 to 2022.
The three-time Grammy winner rose to the mainstream with his 2016 track “Diles,” and his 2020 album “El Último Tour Del Mundo” became the first all-Spanish language album to land on the top of Billboard 200.
Beyond his music career, the 31-year-old rapper has embarked on a professional wrestling career, first appearing on WWE in 2021 and competing in several matches since.
