Overview
- Multiple outlets on Tuesday cited a Puck report saying Jay‑Z has selected himself as the Super Bowl LXI halftime headliner, but neither the NFL nor Roc Nation has confirmed the story.
- Super Bowl LXI is scheduled for Feb. 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, the same venue where Jay‑Z will perform in late October.
- Puck and other reports say Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber and Harry Styles were also considered and that sources described Jay‑Z as a “more compelling” choice.
- Jay‑Z’s company Roc Nation has produced and curated the halftime show since 2019 and reportedly renewed its NFL deal in 2024, a role that gives him final say over bookings.
- If the selection is confirmed, it would underscore Jay‑Z’s recent tour momentum, fuel speculation about guest appearances such as Beyoncé, and raise fresh questions about a curator booking himself for one of the world’s biggest TV stages.
