Jay-Z confirmed as halftime performer for Super Bowl LXI

Rapper Jay-Z has been announced as the halftime show performer for Super Bowl LXI, which will be held on Sunday, Feb. 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The NFL event will be broadcast on ABC and ESPN and streamed via the ESPN App and NFL+.

In a statement, Jay-Z reflected on his career, saying, "From 'Reasonable Doubt' to standing on the Super Bowl Halftime stage, this has been a journey. Thirty years of music, work, and culture on the world's biggest stage. This run continues to be a dream come true."

The 2027 game will be the second Super Bowl hosted at SoFi Stadium, following Super Bowl LVI in 2022, which featured a West Coast hip-hop-focused halftime show headlined by Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem and others. The previous year's halftime performance was by Grammy-winning singer Bad Bunny at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
