The road to Santa Clara has its soundtrack. The NFL officially announced the pregame entertainment lineup for Super Bowl LX on Sunday, confirming a genre-spanning roster that brings together pop, folk-rock, and R&B.
When the league descends on Levi’s Stadium on Feb. 8, 2026, the festivities will begin with performances by Charlie Puth, Brandi Carlile, and Coco Jones.
Charlie Puth, the multi-platinum singer and producer known for global hits like “See You Again,” is set to perform the National Anthem. Puth’s appearance on the massive stage comes just weeks before the scheduled release of his fourth studio album, Whatever’s Clever!

Joining the pregame slate is Brandi Carlile, one of the industry’s most acclaimed vocalists. The 11-time Grammy winner will perform “America the Beautiful.” Carlile enters the Super Bowl spotlight fresh off the success of her latest album, Returning To Myself, and a recent Grammy nomination for her collaboration with Elton John.
Rounding out the vocal trio is Grammy-winning R&B artist and Bel-Air actress Coco Jones, who will sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” Jones has seen a rapid ascent in the music world, securing a 2026 Grammy nod for Best R&B Album for her debut project, Why Not More?
“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, the NFL’s senior vice president of global event production.
A Historic Step for Accessibility
In addition to the vocal performances, the NFL emphasized a significant expansion of its American Sign Language (ASL) program. Renowned Deaf artist Fred Beam is scheduled to perform both the National Anthem and “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” while Julian Ortiz will interpret “America the Beautiful.”
The league also announced a historic first for the halftime show. Complementing the previously announced headliner Bad Bunny, the performance will feature a multilingual signing program that incorporates Puerto Rican Sign Language, led by Deaf performer Celimar Rivera Cosme.
“This moment embodies the very best of culture, live performance, and our country, perfectly kicking off game day,” stated Desiree Perez, CEO of Roc Nation.
Super Bowl LX will be broadcast live on NBC, Telemundo, and Peacock.
