Will Jay-Z perform at the Super Bowl halftime show? Here’s what reports are saying

(Gray News) – Jay-Z’s entertainment company Roc Nation plays a major role in deciding who will perform at the Super Bowl.

Puck reported early Tuesday that Jay-Z himself will be headlining the halftime show in February, according to sources.

If the report is true, this will be the first time Jay-Z has taken the Super Bowl stage in his career.

According to Puck, Jay-Z was seen as a “more compelling” option than Miley Cyrus or Justin Bieber.

The NFL has not confirmed a headliner for Super Bowl LXI, and Roc Nation has not responded to Billboard’s request for comment.

Roc Nation has been the NFL’s live music company since 2019, according to Billboard, and a renewed contract in 2024 allowed Jay-Z to curate and produce the halftime show.

Super Bowl LXI is scheduled for Feb. 14, 2027, and will be played at SoFi stadium. This will be the second time the Super Bowl will be played in Los Angeles this decade.
