Super Bowl 2026: Live coverage of NFL’s showpiece game as New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks do battle

The stadium field has been transformed into something like a Hollywood set. He is singing and dancing in a plantation.

He’s now emerged on a platform with female dancers shaking their hips and twerking.

Viewers have just been given a sneak peek of the musician heading out onto the field with his dancers ahead of his anticipated performance.

He is wearing an all white NFL-inspired outfit.

For those watching the game who are not familiar with the rapper from Puerto Rico, he just won album of the year at this year’s Grammy Awards.

He adds the golden statue to his impressive collection which now includes six Grammys, along with 17 Latin Grammys.

The 31-year-old, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, has dominated as Spotify’s top global artist for four years in a row.

Superbowl half-time shows are usually stacked with notable musical guests in addition to the headline performer, and some suspect Bad Bunny will bring out fellow rapper Cardi B to perform their 2018 hit I Like It.

Other possible guests include Rosalia, Ricky Martin or Daddy Yankee.

The Seahawks have to settle for another field goal despite having great position as the clock ticked down toward zeroes.

That’ll take us to half-time, and it’s been a defensive scrap that hasn’t really provided the spectacle that most were hoping for!

Kenneth Walker has been the game’s shining light, finding ways to open up cracks in New England’s defence. The Patriots, meanwhile, haven’t been able to get ANYTHING going. That’s going to have to change fast if they’re to stay alive - though they will get the ball to start the second half.

Stay with us now as Kellie Balaam takes you through Bad Bunny’s half-time set!

Walker is in action once again as the Seahawks edge into Patriots territory.

A reminder: Bad Bunny’s half-time set is coming right up! Kellie Balaam will take you through it shortly.

The Patriots remain a LONG way short of their first points of this game.

A false-start penalty on third down doesn’t help, and now, Seattle have just under 3 minutes before half-time - with good field position at midfield - to add to their 6-0 advantage.

Some of the globe’s most famous faces joined in on the action, with Jay-Z, Roger Federer and Jon Bon Jovi arriving at the venue in style.

Michael Dickson’s punt is SUPERB at the end of a Seattle drive that comes up short! The Aussie pins New England at their own 1-yard line, and that’s going to put some real pressure on the Patriots here. Well done to the local lad!

It comes as Kenneth Walker’s imprint on this game is getting larger and larger.

He’s been the focal point of this offence in the first half, and is up to 92 total yards. But the Seahawks’ drive falls short of reaching field-goal range, and it remains 6-0 Seahawks midway through the second period.

Patriots quarterback Drake Maye is so far having a day to forget.

He cops a THIRD sack and it’s another empty possession for New England. There had been plenty of talk about how the 23-year-old would go leading his team with a dearth of big-game experience, and so far, the Seahawks are feasting on him.

It’s 6-0 Seattle with 9.16 remaining before half-time.
