The Super Bowl halftime show is the biggest single music performance of the year, watched by more than a hundred million people. The 2027 show is already one of the most searched music topics online, so here is everything we know so far.
This article reflects information available in mid-October 2026. The official headliner had not been announced at the time of writing.
Super Bowl LXI at a glance
Game: Super Bowl LXI
Date: Sunday, 14 February 2027 (Valentine's Day)
Venue: SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, Los Angeles, California
US broadcast: ABC and ESPN
Halftime sponsor: Apple Music
It is the second Super Bowl at SoFi Stadium, which hosted Super Bowl LVI in 2022. That game's halftime show, led by Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar, is still remembered as one of the best.
Who is performing at the 2027 halftime show?
The NFL, Apple Music and Roc Nation choose the headliner. In recent years the announcement has usually come in September, but as of mid-October 2026 no official headliner has been confirmed.
The rumours so far:
1. Miley Cyrus is the name most discussed. In early October, screenshots spread of what fans believed was a deleted Apple Music post showing a female silhouette. Some outlets reported the screenshot appeared to be fabricated, and Cyrus had earlier said in an interview that the Super Bowl felt like too much pressure. Treat this as a rumour until the NFL confirms it.
2. Taylor Swift appears on betting lists every year, but has never been confirmed.
3. Harry Styles and Justin Bieber were reported earlier in the year to be on a shortlist.
Be careful with "confirmed" posts on social media. Many are fan-made. We will update this page when the official announcement arrives.
The bar to beat: Bad Bunny's 2026 show
Bad Bunny headlined the Super Bowl LX halftime show on 8 February 2026 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. It was the first halftime show headlined by a Latino solo artist and the first performed almost entirely in Spanish, and it later won a Primetime Emmy. Whoever headlines in 2027 has a huge act to follow.
When does the Super Bowl halftime show air in India?

Why the halftime show matters for music
Halftime performers typically see a large jump in streams in the days after the show, as millions of viewers look up the songs. It is one of the clearest examples of how one big moment of exposure can grow an artist's audience worldwide.
