Who is performing with Bad Bunny? Possible special guests for the Super Bowl halftime show

Bad Bunny is expected to hit the stage approximately 90 minutes after kickoff at 6:30 pm ET on February 8

Grammy-winning artist Bad Bunny is set to headline the Super Bowl halftime show on Sunday, prompting widespread speculation about whether he will be joined on stage by special guests.

The halftime show is among the most-watched musical events in the world, regularly attracting more than 100 million viewers and generating global online discussion.

Bad Bunny, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, is expected to deliver a performance entirely in Spanish, reflecting the music and identity that have defined his rise as one of the world’s most-streamed artists. His album Un Verano Sin Ti an all-Spanish-language release, cemented his global appeal, while recent anticipation has intensified following his Grammy win for album of the year with Debí Tirar Más Fotos.

Although not required, headliners often invite collaborators for brief appearances. Recent halftime shows have featured high-profile guests, though some artists, including Rihanna in 2023, have chosen to perform solo.

While no guests have been confirmed, several names are frequently mentioned. Cardi B collaborated with Bad Bunny on “I Like It,” a song that introduced him to a broader mainstream audience and previously brought him to the Super Bowl stage as a guest. Marc Anthony is another possibility, having recently shared the stage with Bad Bunny during his Puerto Rican residency.

Young Miko, who collaborated with Bad Bunny on “Fina” and has appeared during his tour shows, is also expected to be in town. Jennifer Lopez, Rosalia, Ricky Martin, Residente and J Balvin have all worked with Bad Bunny in the past and are viewed as plausible choices, though none has confirmed involvement.

Daddy Yankee, despite ongoing speculation, previously ruled out a Super Bowl appearance, saying, “No, not right now. I’m on a different mission right now.”

For Bad Bunny, the halftime show represents an opportunity to showcase his music, heritage and global influence on one of the world’s largest stages.
