With Super Bowl LX upon us, millions of fans are gearing up not only for the NFC vs. AFC championship matchup but also for one of the biggest pop‑culture moments of the year: the Super Bowl LX Halftime Show. Headlining this year's halftime performance is Grammy-award winner Bad Bunny, who will take the Levi's Stadium stage. While tickets to the event are extremely limited, you don't have to be in the stadium to catch every moment of the show — here's how to watch the Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show from home.
Bad Bunny is one of the most-streamed and influential artists in the world, known for blending reggaeton, Latin trap, and contemporary pop into chart‑topping hits. With multiple Grammy Awards and global record sales, his selection as the first primarily Spanish‑language solo headliner of the Super Bowl halftime show represents a historic moment for both the NFL and music fans alike.
Below, we'll make sure you know how to tune into tonight's event, including free streaming options around the world. Whether you're watching for the football or planning to hit record on the halftime spectacle, these platforms ensure you won't miss a beat of Bad Bunny's highly anticipated performance.
How to watch the Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show in the US
If you've yet to secure your viewing method for the Super Bowl, fret not — you can stream it live from Peacock, DirecTV, or Sling TV. It will air on NBC in the US and be available in 4K HDR.
To catch it live on Peacock, plans start at $11 a month for ad-supported streaming. If you'd like to skip the ads (for on-demand content), it'll cost more: Peacock Premium starts at $17 a month but adds 24/7 NBC livestreaming. Both plans will also allow you to live stream every event at the Winter Olympics.
If you're looking for a live TV streaming alternative, you may prefer another service. In exchange for a higher price, options like DirecTV and Sling TV give you a more traditional cable experience — without the inflated price or tricky contracts.
DirecTV is our favorite for the job, offering widespread NBC coverage that most US residents can take advantage of for the halftime show. It even lets you sample it with a free five-day trial before you commit to a plan, with Super Bowl-friendly options starting at $40 a month for the DirecTV MyNews plan (or $35 for your first two months).
Alternatively, Sling TV starts at $25 a month for plans compatible with the halftime show. Be warned that NBC coverage varies by region, so before committing to a plan, check your ZIP code to ensure your area receives NBC programming. If your region has access to NBC, you'll want to sign up for Sling Select or Sling Blue to access it.

Most regions outside the US and China can use DAZN's NFL Game Pass to catch Bad Bunny's performance live. Additionally, several countries tend to broadcast the event for free, so we'll keep this story updated as more options go live.
A VPN can also come in handy for watching the concert for free. Viewers away from the UK or Australia can access the free options with a virtual private network — an easily implemented cybersecurity tool that allows you to change your virtual location on your device.
One of our top recommendations, NordVPN, is the best to trust with this monumental musical performance. It's fast, offers a wide range of servers to choose from, and provides extra cybersecurity features. Learn more about it, and its 30-day money-back guarantee, in our NordVPN review.
