Grammy-winning singers Brandi Carlisle and Coco Jones and Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter Charlie Puth will be performing before the kickoff of Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara, Calif., on Feb. 8, 2026.
The NFL made the announcement Sunday that Puth will sing the national anthem, Carlile will perform “America the Beautiful” and Jones will sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing” at Levi’s Stadium.
“Super Bowl Sunday is the world’s biggest entertainment stage, and we’re proud to spotlight artists who embody the very best of music and culture,” said Jon Barker, senior vice president of global event production for the NFL. “Beyond the game itself, the Super Bowl is a global celebration. These artists bring a distinct voice to the moment, helping set the tone for a day that will captivate fans around the world.”
Desiree Perez, CEO of the event’s co-producer Roc Nation, called the trio “generational talents” who will be joined by deaf performers during the songs. Deaf music artist Fred Beam will perform “The Star-Spangled Banner” and “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” and deaf music performer Julian Ortiz will deliver “America the Beautiful.”
Three-time Grammy Award-winning global recording artist Bad Bunny of Puerto Rico was announced in September as the halftime performer for Super Bowl LX. Deaf performer Celimar Rivera Cosme of Puerto Rico will be part of a multilingual signing program that the NFL said is a first for the halftime show.
