The NFL has announced that rapper Jay-Z will perform at the Super Bowl LXI halftime show, scheduled to take place on February 14, 2027. The championship game will be held at SoFi Stadium near Los Angeles.
While Jay-Z’s company, Roc Nation, has been responsible for producing the halftime show since 2019, this performance marks the first time the hip-hop mogul will take the stage himself at the NFL championship game. The NFL’s announcement did not confirm whether Jay-Z would serve as the sole headliner for the event.

The news follows a weekend where Jay-Z performed two shows at the same Los Angeles venue hosting the upcoming Super Bowl. Those concerts were part of a tour marking the 30th anniversary of his debut album, Reasonable Doubt.
As preparations begin, the NFL acknowledged the growing speculation regarding potential guest appearances. The league noted that the conversation surrounding which artists might join the rapper on stage has already begun, with his wife, Beyoncé, cited as a primary name on that list.
