This will be the second Super Bowl hosted at SoFi Stadium since Super Bowl LVI in 2022.

Kickoff is expected at around 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time (3:30 p.m. Pacific Time). The traditional start time that maximizes television audiences across the country.

Who’s Broadcasting the Game?

For the first time in NFL history, the Super Bowl will be broadcast on ESPN, with a simulcast on ABC. This marks ABC’s return to Super Bowl coverage for the first time since 2006. Fans can also stream the game via the ESPN app, Disney+, NFL+, and other digital platforms.

What Happens at a Super Bowl Halftime Show

The Super Bowl halftime show has evolved dramatically since the first game in 1967. In the early decades, entertainment often featured marching bands and themed performances tied to American culture. That changed in the early 1990s, especially after Michael Jackson’s legendary 1993 halftime performance which drew massive viewership and proved that halftime could be a major cultural moment rather than just a break in the game.

In the 21st century, the halftime show has become a highly anticipated, star-studded showcase. Recent headliners have included:

• Usher with special guests at Super Bowl LVIII (2024) featuring Alicia Keys, Ludacris, and others.
• Kendrick Lamar at Super Bowl LIX (2025), whose performance included SZA, Samuel L. Jackson, and tennis star Serena Williams.
• Bad Bunny at Super Bowl LX (2026), the first solo Spanish-language headliner, with appearances from Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin.

These performances reflect how the halftime show continues to blend sports, pop culture, and music trends from around the world.

The Super Bowl halftime show isn’t just about football — it’s one of the most talked-about stages in global entertainment. With hundreds of millions of viewers worldwide, performing on this stage can be a career-defining moment for artists, whether they’re established superstars or emerging icons.

As of now, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely as the NFL makes its official announcement for Super Bowl 61’s halftime show headliner — likely in late 2026 or early 2027.
