Coco Jones, Charlie Puth, and Brandi Carlile are officially joining Bad Bunny as part of the performance lineup for the 2026 Super Bowl. The NFL shared the news on Sunday, confirming that Puth will sing the national anthem, Jones will offer her rendition of “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” and Carlile will present “America the Beautiful” before the League’s top two teams go head to head at Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8.
“Charlie, Brandi, and Coco are once in a generation artists, and we feel privileged to have them, as well as our incredible deaf performers, take the global spotlight at Super Bowl LX,” said Desiree Perez, CEO of Roc Nation, in a statement. “This moment represents the highest level of culture, live music, and national spirit, and it sets the perfect tone for game day.”
The NFL also shared that the pregame and halftime programs will feature American Sign Language interpreters. Fred Beam will handle “The Star-Spangled-Banner” and “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” while Julian Ortiz will sign “America the Beautiful.” The event will also mark the first halftime performance to showcase multilingual signing, with Celimar Rivera Cosme offering Puerto Rican Sign Language throughout the show.
“I cannot believe these words are coming out of my mouth… I will be performing the National Anthem at Super Bowl LX,” Puth wrote in a playful post celebrating the announcement. The clip shows him humorously explaining the difficulty of singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” to a group of football players using game day language, inspired by his social videos where he breaks down musical concepts. The video ends with him unintentionally hyping the players into shouting “Whose house? Our house!”
Puth, Carlile, and Jones will follow the path set by Jon Batiste, Lauren Daigle, and Ledisi, who all appeared during the 2025 Super Bowl pregame program, a game the Philadelphia Eagles won over the Kansas City Chiefs.
“Super Bowl Sunday is the biggest entertainment platform on the planet, and we are thrilled to highlight artists who reflect the greatest parts of music and culture,” said Jon Barker, an NFL executive, in a statement. “More than the competition itself, the Super Bowl is a worldwide celebration. These performers bring unique energy to the moment, shaping the atmosphere for a day that captures the attention of fans everywhere.”
The 2026 Super Bowl will air on Feb. 8 on NBC, Telemundo, and Peacock.
