As 2025 winds down, we’re already gearing up for what promises to be an exciting start to 2026: Super Bowl LX. Come early February, California’s Levi’s Stadium will host the highly anticipated sporting event that’s stirred plenty of buzz recently, especially following the announcement of Bad Bunny as the halftime show headliner.
But the NFL isn’t stopping there when it comes to musical talent. The league has officially named Charlie Puth to perform the national anthem at the event — a moment that holds huge significance in a game that celebrates American identity.
Voices of Super Bowl 2026
“We take pride in highlighting artists who represent the best of music and culture,” said Jon Barker, NFL Senior Vice President of Global Event Production. While many eyes will be on Bad Bunny’s halftime performance, the national anthem remains a powerful and symbolic part of the show.
Though Charlie Puth hasn’t been knighted (yet), the 33-year-old New Jersey native is one of the brightest stars in the American music scene. With three Grammy nominations and multiple awards including Billboard Music Awards, Puth has proven himself beyond the U.S. borders with hits like We Don’t Talk Anymore, Attention, and See You Again.
But he’s not the only one slated to light up the stage: Brandi Carlile will perform America the Beautiful, and rising star Coco Jones will deliver a rendition of Lift Every Voice and Sing — a song often called the Black National Anthem.
Desiree Perez, CEO of Roc Nation, praised all three performers as “generational talents,” emphasizing the Super Bowl stage as a platform that “showcases the best of culture, live performance, and our country — the perfect way to kick off game day.”

Over the years, legendary voices like Billy Joel, Cher, Mariah Carey, Beyoncé, and Lady Gaga have lent their talents to the anthem. But on February 8, all eyes will be on Bad Bunny, whose halftime booking has sparked controversy with some conservative critics, including figures from the Trump administration.
So, what about you? Who would you want to see sing the national anthem next year?
