The NFL announced that Green Day will open Super Bowl LX with a high-energy opening ceremony celebrating the Super Bowl’s 60th anniversary. The East-Bay natives will help open the event at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California on February 8, 2026.
The Super Bowl LX opening ceremony performance will air live at 3pm PT on NBC, Telemundo, Peacock, and Universo. Green Day will transform the stadium, blending music, football, and Bay Area culture into a kick-off celebration for fans.
“We are super hyped to open Super Bowl 60 right in our backyard,” adds Green Day lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong. “We are honored to welcome the MVPs who’ve shaped the game and open the night for fans all over the world. Let’s have fun! Let’s get loud!”
“Celebrating 60 years of Super Bowl history with Green Day as a hometown band, while honoring NFL Legends who’ve helped define this sport is an incredibly powerful way to kick off Super Bowl LX,” adds Tim Tubito, NFL Senior Director, Event & Game Presentation. “As we work alongside NBC Sports for this opening ceremony, we look forward to creating a collective celebration for fans in the stadium and around the world.”
Meanwhile, global superstar Bad Bunny has been announced as the headliner for the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show, marking a major milestone for Latin music. Known for blending reggaeton, trap, and pop with bold visual storytelling, Bad Bunny is set to bring his signature energy and cultural pride to the biggest night in football.
Following years of global chart dominance and sold-out stadium tours, Bad Bunny’s appearance signals the NFL’s continued embrace of diverse and international talent for its most-watched broadcast. Fans can expect a high-impact performance full of hits, visuals, and movements that have defined Bad Bunny’s award-winning artistry. It will be interesting to see if he can break Kendrick Lamar’s record-setting performance last year.
