โ€œThese artists bring a distinct voice to the moment, helping set the tone for a day that will captivate fans around the world,โ€ said Jon Barker, Senior VP Global Event Production for the NFL, in a statement, as perย The Hollywood Reporter.

The pregame show, in addition to Bad Bunny’s halftime show, will also include sign language performances in collaboration with Alexis Kashar of LOVE SIGN and Howard Rosenblum of Deaf Equality. Fred Beam will sign the National Anthem and โ€œLift Every Voice and Sing,โ€ with Julian Ortiz signing โ€œAmerica the Beautiful.โ€ The halftime show will also feature multilingual signing for the first time, with Celimar Rivera Cosme performing in Puerto Rican Sign Language.

โ€œCharlie, Brandi, and Coco are generational talents, and we are honored to have them โ€” alongside our extraordinary deaf performers โ€” on Super Bowl LXโ€™s world stage,โ€ said Desiree Perez, CEO of Roc Nation, co-producer of the show. โ€œThis moment embodies the very best of culture, live performance and our country.โ€

Bad Bunny was first announced as the Super Bowl Halftime Show headliner back in September, with the Puerto Rican performer’s selection sparking backlash from many conservatives, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and President Donald Trump.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has defended the selection of the Grammy Award-winning artist, saying, โ€œWeโ€™re confident itโ€™s going to be a great show and that he understands the platform that heโ€™s on. I think itโ€™s going to be exciting and a united moment.โ€

He continued that Bad Bunny is โ€œone of the leading and most popular entertainers in the world,โ€ and that the decision had been โ€œcarefully thought through.โ€

โ€œIโ€™m not sure weโ€™ve ever selected an artist where we didnโ€™t have some blowback or criticism,โ€ Goodell told reporters. โ€œItโ€™s pretty hard to do when you have literally hundreds of millions of people that are watching.โ€

Super Bowl LX airs on Sunday, Feb. 8, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. ET on NBC, Peacock and Telemundo.
