There’s the game, and then there’s the show everyone actually came for.
When halftime hits at the Super Bowl, 100 million people will turn their eyes to the stage. For 13 minutes, football fades, and music takes over. It’s the single biggest performance slot on the planet—the one that gave us Beyoncé’s black beret revolution, The Weeknd’s funhouse chaos, and Rihanna’s floating pregnancy reveal.
This time around, come February 8, 2026, all eyes will be on one man: Bad Bunny.
The 31-year-old Puerto Rican superstar will be stepping into the halftime spotlight at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, to headline the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show. For a moment, this massive; there’s no do-over, no repetition, just one shot to make history in front of more than 127 million viewers
Thus, if there’s anyone who knows how to turn culture and chaos into an event, it’s Bad Bunny, A.K.A. El Conejo Malo.
The Moment, The Music, The Madness
Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, better known to the world as Bad Bunny, has had a rise nothing short of cinematic. He went from a Puerto Rican kid uploading songs to SoundCloud to becoming a global pop icon celebrated for staying true to himself. His catalog defies borders: an audacious blend of trap, reggaetón, house, bolero, and rock.
But now comes the challenge — how do you fit a decade of hits into just 13 minutes?
That’s where his latest album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, comes in. It’s not just a record; it’s an intimate, poetic, and unapologetic reflection of his Puerto Rican roots. The project will likely anchor much of his Super Bowl set before Benito unleashes the chaotic energy and cultural vibe fans have come to love.

Ideal Bad Bunny Super Bowl Setlist
A great Super Bowl halftime show needs balance—a touch of nostalgia, a stadium-shaking anthem, and at least one “Oh my God, did that just happen?” moment.
Maybe that moment will be Bad Bunny bringing his iconic Casita—the cozy pink Puerto Rican-style house from his stage design—to the Super Bowl. Or maybe he’ll surprise us with something entirely new. Either way, here’s how we think it could all play out:
Tití Me Preguntó
This is a perfect icebreaker and one that puts everyone in a joyous mood in the beginning. It will be fun and familiar to the audience. When the lights drop and the drum kicks in, the stadium will explode.
DTMF
This could be beautiful, cinematic, yet moody. Imagine Bad Bunny standing alone under the spotlight, dancers moving through water as the lights fade behind him. It wouldn’t just be a performance; it would be a statement.
Me Porto Bonito (feat. Chencho Corleone)
We can all agree on one thing — we need Chencho on that stage with Bad Bunny. The moment they launch into this song, the entire stadium will move in sync, echoing every word Chencho sings. This might just be the clip that breaks the internet before the performance even ends.
Dákiti (feat. Jhayco)
This is where we get a futuristic switch-up. Neon visuals, smooth choreography. It’s the Chill track that still feels massive.
Trap Medley — Soy Peor, Diles, Chambea
Here we get to see the old-school Benito! The SoundCloud king, the Latin trap rebel. He will not just show his growth; he will also be reminding the world where he came from, and we will appreciate it.
El Apagón / Acho PR
By now, expect our emotions to be at their peak. The flag waves, the beat turns political, and Puerto Rico stands front and center on the world’s biggest stage. We want to see this too. We want him to appreciate his roots proudly; we love it, and we will acknowledge his statement.
I Like It (feat. Cardi B & J Balvin)
Imagine the stadium if Cardi shows up and performs “I Like It” with Bad Bunny. That’s it. Instant history.
Safaera
Finally, chaos. Fireworks. Dancers. Reggaetón royalty. If we are lucky enough to have Nengo Flow and Jowell & Randy join in, the stage will turn into a massive block party, and the crowd will lose it.
