**Bad Bunny became a historic figure at the halftime show of Super Bowl 2026.** In September 2025, the NFL confirmed that the global superstar would headline the event, marking a significant moment for Latin music on one of the world’s biggest stages. With his record-breaking hits and reputation for unforgettable live performances, fans eagerly anticipated what Benito would create.
**Below we summarize Bad Bunny’s show!**
The 2026 Super Bowl took place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, home to the San Francisco 49ers. While the 2025 game was broadcast live on Fox Sports, the 2026 event was also available for live streaming on Peacock and NFL+ for mobile devices, according to CNBC.
The Puerto Rican megastar, known for hits like «Tití Me Preguntó», - «Moscow Mule», - and «No Me Conoce», - became one of the few Latin artists to ever headline the NFL’s biggest stage—and he set even more records by performing his show in Spanish. This choice marked an important cultural moment, following in the footsteps of Shakira and Jennifer Lopez’s performances in 2020 and Rihanna’s return in 2023.
Bad Bunny commented on both the excitement and criticism regarding his Super Bowl performance during the premiere of Season 51 of Saturday Night Live, where he served as host and musical guest. Opening his monologue in Spanish, he joked about critics who complained about his language and Latin influence, saying, «You have four months to learn Spanish before the Super Bowl».
He added, «I'm very excited about the show… and I think everyone is happy—even Fox News».
During his performance, Benito transformed the field at Levi’s Stadium into a stage that paid tribute to his Puerto Rican roots. One of the most memorable moments was when he presented his Grammy award to a young boy who was watching the singer and rapper accept his award on television. This moment symbolized how far Benito has come in his career.
Another memorable moment was that a real wedding took place during the Bad Bunny show.
Joining Benito on stage were Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin, and he invited many other celebrities for cameos: Cardi B, Pedro Pascal, Jessica Alba, and Karol G
