The NFL announced during "Monday Night Football" that Jay-Z will lead the Super Bowl LXI halftime show on Feb. 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, with ESPN also carrying the game.
Roc Nation's partnership with the NFL made the choice unusually straightforward: Jay-Z founded the company that helps shape halftime bookings, and reports last week said Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber were also considered.
Jay-Z brings a résumé of 25 Grammys, 14 No. 1 albums and a 2021 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, after a 2026 stadium tour that included three sold-out nights at Yankee Stadium and a stop at SoFi.
The booking follows a record-setting benchmark for the show: last year's Bad Bunny-led halftime performance drew 4.157 billion views across broadcasts and digital platforms in its first 24 hours.
