Bad Bunny\u2019s upcoming appearance at the Super Bowl halftime show has generated tremendous excitement. As the headliner for Super Bowl LX at Levi\u2019s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on February 8, 2026, the Puerto Rican superstar\u2014known for his global hits in reggaeton and Latin trap\u2014will deliver what promises to be a historic and unforgettable performance. He is the first Latino and Spanish-speaking artist to headline the halftime show as a solo act, reaching millions of viewers worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite the event\u2019s massive scale and the significant revenue the Super Bowl generates, Bad Bunny, like all halftime headliners, will not receive a substantial performance fee from the NFL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is standard NFL policy for the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show. The league does not pay artists a large appearance fee. Instead, performers receive only a modest union-mandated scale payment\u2014typically a minimum required under union agreements, often around $1,000 per day for rehearsals and the show itself, based on reports from past events. The NFL covers all production costs, which can reach $10 million or more, including staging, effects, rehearsals, travel expenses for the artist and entourage, and other logistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Artists accept this arrangement because the exposure is unparalleled. The halftime show attracts an audience of over 100 million viewers in the U.S. alone, plus global broadcasts, offering invaluable promotion for their music, tours, and brand. Many past performers, from legends like Michael Jackson and Beyonc\u00e9 to recent headliners like Usher and Kendrick Lamar, have viewed the slot as a prestigious honor that boosts their careers far beyond any direct payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bad Bunny\u2019s selection, announced in September 2025 in partnership with Apple Music and Roc Nation, underscores the NFL\u2019s aim to deliver diverse, global entertainment moments. The performance is expected to highlight his creativity and connect with a broad audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
