The countdown has officially begun: Bad Bunny is gearing up to take the stage at the 2026 Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show on Feb. 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. While the big game may still be months away, the excitement surrounding this announcement — made just this past Sunday (Sep. 28) — is already reaching a fever pitch.
The event marks a full-circle moment for the Puerto Rican megastar, who first graced the halftime stage as a guest during Shakira and Jennifer Lopez’s iconic 2020 performance. This time, however, it’s his show — la vibra, la energía, and the cultural pride of his meteoric rise all distilled into what promises to be an unforgettable 13-minute spectacle.
“I’m really excited for my friends, my family, Puerto Rico — all the Latino people around the world. I’m excited about my culture, not just for me,” Bad Bunny told hosts Zane Lowe and Ebro Darden during their Apple Music’s Halftime Headliner Special. The international superstar is also fresh off wrapping up his highly ambitious residency at Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot on September 20.
And there’s no mistaking what’s at stake. In the span of just a few short years, Bad Bunny has become a global phenomenon: charting an astounding 113 Hot 100 hits, winning three Grammys, 12 Latin Grammys, and achieving four No. 1s on the Billboard 200 — all while revolutionizing the music landscape by turning Spanish-language hits into undeniable pop smashes. From 2020’s El Último Tour del Mundo to 2025’s Debí Tirar Más Fotos, every era of his career has left an indelible mark, crossing boundaries of language and geography.
With past halftime shows offering everything from hypnotic military-like choreography (The Weeknd) to West Coast domination (Dr. Dre and friends) to unapologetic cultural statements (Shakira, J.Lo, and Rihanna), we can only imagine what Bad Bunny has in store. He’s proven himself as a creative force on stages across the globe — from his electrifying Coachella set to his record-breaking residency in Puerto Rico. Factor in Jay-Z’s Roc Nation and Apple Music’s joint production, and the potential is beyond limitless.
With just about 13 minutes to condense a catalog stacked with hits, deep cuts, and career-defining moments, we can’t help but dream up what El Conejo Malo might bring to the field for his historic halftime show. From energy-packed anthems to moments of heartfelt connection, here’s our ideal setlist for Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl takeover.
