Charlie Puth, Brandi Carlile, and Coco Jones Set to Perform Before 2026 Super Bowl

The NFL has revealed that Coco Jones, Charlie Puth, and Brandi Carlile will be performing alongside Bad Bunny at the 2026 Super Bowl. On Sunday, the league confirmed that Charlie Puth will sing the national anthem, Coco Jones will perform Lift Every Voice and Sing, and Brandi Carlile will deliver America the Beautiful ahead of the championship game on February 8.

Desiree Perez, CEO of Roc Nation, shared in a statement, Charlie, Brandi, and Coco are exceptional talents of their generation. We are thrilled to have them, along with our remarkable deaf performers, take the stage at Super Bowl LX. This event perfectly captures the spirit of culture, live music, and our nation, making for an unforgettable start to game day.

The NFL also confirmed that American Sign Language interpreters will be part of both the pregame and halftime shows. Fred Beam will interpret The Star-Spangled Banner and Lift Every Voice and Sing, while Julian Ortiz will sign America the Beautiful. For the first time, the halftime performance will feature multilingual signing, with Celimar Rivera Cosme using Puerto Rican Sign Language.

Celebrating the announcement, Puth posted a humorous video explaining the challenges of performing the national anthem for football players, using game-day language, before playfully inciting the group into a chant of Whose house? Our house!

The 2026 performers follow the tradition of past pregame artists, such as Jon Batiste, Lauren Daigle, and Ledisi, who performed at the 2025 Super Bowl when the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs.

Jon Barker, an NFL executive, emphasized, Super Bowl Sunday is the worlds premier entertainment stage. We are proud to highlight artists who represent the best in music and culture. These performers bring unique voices to the event, setting the tone for a day that engages fans globally.

The 2026 Super Bowl will air on February 8 on NBC, Telemundo, and Peacock.
