Jay-Z will headline the Apple Music Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show at SoFi Stadium on February 14, 2027, the NFL, Apple Music and Roc Nation announced Monday.

The NFL’s official announcement confirmed the booking during Monday Night Football. It moves the story beyond earlier speculation about the performer.

U.S. coverage of the Super Bowl is scheduled for ESPN and ABC, with streaming on Disney+ and mobile access through NFL+. Those are the announced domestic outlets; availability outside the United States depends on the relevant territory.

Jay-Z’s involvement also connects to Roc Nation’s entertainment partnership with the NFL, which began in 2019. His performance follows SoFi Stadium concerts on October 23–24.

The announcement establishes the headliner and event date. Guest performers, the set list and production details remain separate matters unless the organizers announce them. For the business of the broadcast, the confirmed booking supplies a major entertainment centerpiece alongside the championship game and its advertising audience.
