The pregame entertainment for Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara is taking shape. The NFL has announced that on Feb. 8, 2026, Charlie Puth will perform the National Anthem, while 11-time Grammy-winning artist Brandi Carlile will perform “America the Beautiful.” R&B artist Coco Jones will perform “Lift Ever Voice and Sing.”
“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.”
All three artists will be joined by American Sign Language performers. Renowned Deaf music artist Fred Beam will perform the National Anthem and “Lift Every Voice and Sing” and Deaf music performer Julian Ortiz will deliver “America the Beautiful.”
“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,” stated Desiree Perez, CEO, Roc Nation. “This moment embodies the very best of culture, live performance, and our country, perfectly kicking off game day.”
Puth has multiple platinum singles, including “Attention,” “We Don’t Talk Anymore,” and “See You Again.” He is set to perform ahead of the release of his newest album, “Whatever’s Clever!” on March 6, 2026.
Carlile is an Oscar nominee, 11 time Grammy winner, 2 time Emmy winner and #1 New York Times Bestselling author who has a new solo album called “Returning to Myself” that just earned a Grammy nomination for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.
Jones earned eight Grammy nominations, including 2026 Best R&B Album for her debut project “Why Not More?” She won a Grammy in 2024 for Best R&B Performance for “ICU.” She currently stars in Peacock’s “Bel-Air.”
The NFL also announced that the Apple Music Halftime Show will also feature a multilingual signed rendition, incorporating Puerto Rican Sign Language, led by Deaf Puerto Rican performer Celimar Rivera Cosme.
