Coco Jones, Charlie Puth, and Brandi Carlile will join Bad Bunny as performers at the 2026 Super Bowl. On Sunday, the NFL announced that Puth will perform the national anthem, Jones will deliver “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” and Carlile will take on “America the Beautiful” before the League’s top two teams face off at Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8.
“Charlie, Brandi, and Coco are generational talents, and we are honored to have them – alongside our extraordinary deaf performers – on Super Bowl LX’s world stage,” said Desiree Perez, CEO of Roc Nation, in a press release. “This moment embodies the very best of culture, live performance, and our country, perfectly kicking off game day.”
The NFL also revealed that both the pregame and halftime shows will include American Sign Language interpreters, with Fred Beam performing “The Star-Spangled-Banner” and “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” and Julian Ortiz taking on “America the Beautiful.” The Big Game will also be the first time that a halftime show features a multilingual signing, with Celimar Rivera Cosme delivering Puerto Rican Sign Language at the event.
“I can’t believe I’m saying this… I will be performing the National Anthem at Super Bowl LX,” Puth captioned a silly post celebrating the news. In the clip, he breaks down the difficulty of singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” to a group of football players using game-day terminology — a nod to his social videos where he overexplains music. The video ends with him accidentally rallying the players into a chant of “Whose house? Our house!”
Puth, Carlile, and Jones will follow in the footsteps of Jon Batiste, Lauren Daigle, and Ledisi, who performed during the 2025 Super Bowl pregame festivities, which the Philadelphia Eagles won against the Kansas City Chiefs.
