After months of waiting, the day has finally arrived. Bad Bunny's concert – also known as the 2026 Super Bowl halftime show – is officially taking place today.
Each year, it’s a pop-culture moment watched by millions, and this year the stakes are especially high, with Benito fresh from his Grammy win set to headline the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show, marking a historic first for a Spanish-language solo performer.
If you’re watching from Australia, here’s exactly how — and where — to tune in.
When is the halftime show on in Australia?
Super Bowl LX takes place in the US on Sunday, February 8, which means Australian viewers will be watching on the morning of Monday, February 9. The broadcast begins at approximately 10:30am AEDT, with the halftime show expected to air at around 12pm AEDT, depending on how the game unfolds.
Here are the exact match start times across the country:
- 7:30am AWST: Western Australia
- 9:00am ACST: Northern Territory
- 9:30am AEST: Queensland
- 10am ACDT: South Australia
- 10:30am AEDT: New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory, Victoria and Tasmania
How to watch it live
The easiest way to watch the Super Bowl — halftime show included — is via 7plus. The streaming platform will broadcast the entire game live and free across Australia. The Seven Network will also air the game on free-to-air television, meaning you can catch the halftime show without needing a subscription or sign-up.
Paid streaming options
If you’re after additional coverage, alternative commentary or a more sports-centric broadcast, there are several subscription platforms carrying the game in Australia, including Disney+, Kayo Sports, and Foxtel. While these options aren’t essential if the halftime show is your main event, they’re worth considering for viewers who want deeper NFL coverage.
What do we know about Bad Bunny's performance
Obviously details are under wraps until Bad Bunny actually takes the stage. But the singer gave us a hint on what to expect in a press conference ahead of the show, saying:“I really want people to have fun. It’s gonna be a huge party. I want to bring what people can always expect from me, and a lot of my culture.”
It's also not the first time Bad Bunny has made a Super Bowl appearance. Back in 2020, he guest starred in Shakira's halftime show, appearing on stage to perform his portion of Cardi B's 'I Like It.'
