JAY-Z to Headline Apple Music Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show

Apple Music, the NFL and Roc Nation have announced that JAY-Z will perform at the Apple Music Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Sunday, Feb. 14, 2027. The game airs on ESPN, ABC and Disney+, and on mobile devices with NFL+. ESPN's Spanish-language telecast will be available on ESPN Deportes and Disney+, with a separate Spanish-language presentation on Univision.

The telecast will be executive produced by Roc Nation, with Hamish Hamilton directing. Roc Nation is also the strategic entertainment advisor for the live performance.

JAY-Z is the first hip-hop artist inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, a four-time Emmy winner and a 25-time GRAMMY winner, and a 2021 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee. 2026 has been the year of JAY-Z 30, a year-long celebration of the 30th anniversary of his debut album Reasonable Doubt. The initiative included three sold-out concerts at Yankee Stadium, which the release says set attendance records, as well as sold-out shows in London, Paris and Los Angeles.

Apple Music Radio's Zane Lowe, Eddie Francis and Brooke Reese were set to discuss the news live on air immediately after the announcement. Apple Music is also offering exclusive content, season-long programming and experiences created with the NFL through JAY-Z's Road to Halftime.

From Reasonable Doubt to standing on the Super Bowl Halftime stage, this has been a journey, says JAY-Z. Thirty years of music, work, and culture on the world's biggest stage. This run continues to be a dream come true.

For several years, we've had the privilege of working closely with JAY-Z and Roc Nation, and I've seen the extraordinary impact he has had on the Super Bowl Halftime Show, says Roger Goodell, Commissioner, NFL. When we first reached an agreement with Roc Nation to produce the show, I had just one request: that JAY-Z take the stage himself one day, whenever the moment felt right to him. I couldn't be more excited for fans around the world to experience the artistry, creativity and cultural impact he will bring to the Super Bowl stage.

JAY-Z's impact on global music culture is as profound as it is undeniable, says Oliver Schusser, VP of Music and International Content, Apple. We've had the privilege of working closely with him these last few years to bring some of the world's most exciting and prolific artists to the Super Bowl Halftime Show stage and we are so thrilled that he will be taking that stage himself this year. We know it's going to be an incredible show.
