2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show: Bad Bunny Headlines

Making history as the first Latino and Spanish-speaking artist to headline solo, three-time Grammy winner Bad Bunny (Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio) will take the stage for the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show. The Puerto Rican reggaeton and Latin trap superstar previously appeared as a guest during the 2020 halftime (Shakira and J.Lo’s show). Expect high-energy hits, global appeal, and a performance blending reggaeton, trap, and crossover vibes.

Pregame entertainment includes Charlie Puth singing the national anthem, Brandi Carlile on “America the Beautiful,” and Coco Jones performing “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”

2026 AFC and NFC Championship Game Odds

  • AFC Championship: New England Patriots at Denver Broncos (3 p.m. ET, CBS). Patriots are favored (around -4.5 to -5 spread, moneyline ~ -250; Broncos +210 to +215). Denver’s QB Bo Nix suffered a season-ending ankle injury after their Divisional Round OT win over Buffalo, causing their odds to lengthen significantly.
  • NFC Championship: Los Angeles Rams at Seattle Seahawks (6:30 p.m. ET, Fox). Seahawks are favored (around -2.5 to -3 spread, moneyline ~ -130 to -155; Rams +110 to +130).

With the Conference Championships approaching, the field is down to the final four:

  • Los Angeles Rams: +210 to +230.
  • New England Patriots: +240 to +250 (emerged as strong AFC contender).
  • Denver Broncos: +1100 to +1300 (longer shots due to QB injury).
  • The NFC West rivalry (Seahawks vs. Rams) is seen as likely to produce the Super Bowl favorite, with Seattle’s defense and home-field edge highlighted. Predictions vary, but many lean toward a Seahawks-Patriots matchup as most probable. The article’s preview holds up well structurally, but odds reflect Denver’s setback and Seattle’s strengthening position.
