Overview

• The NFL, Apple Music and Roc Nation have confirmed Bad Bunny to headline the Super Bowl LX halftime show on February 8, 2026 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
• Hosting SNL on October 4, he framed the performance as a collective win for Latinos and told viewers in Spanish that those who didn’t understand had “four months to learn.”
• He closed the episode with a faithful El Chavo del 8 homage featuring SNL cast members and guest Jon Hamm, drawing praise from original star Florinda Meza, who called his interpretation “magistral.”
• President Donald Trump said on Newsmax he had never heard of Bad Bunny and called the NFL’s choice “absolutely ridiculous,” renewing conservative criticism of the selection.
• Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said ICE would be present at the Super Bowl and warned that only “law‑abiding U.S. citizens” should attend, rhetoric that has alarmed many fans and immigrant communities.
