How to watch Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show for free

Bad Bunny is headlining this year's Super Bowl halftime show at Levi’s Stadium, promising a "huge party." He told an Apple Music press conference, "I don’t want to give spoilers, people only need to worry about dancing." "They don’t even have to learn Spanish; it’s better if they dance, but there’s no better dance that comes from the heart." The 2026 Super Bowl kicks off at 6:30 p.m.

ET on NBC, with pre-game performers — including Charlie Puth, Brandi Carlile and Coco Jones — starting at 6 p.m. While exact timing depends on the flow of the game, the halftime show will likely start between 8 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. ET. If you don’t have cable, a live TV streaming service is needed to watch the game and the halftime show.

DIRECTV offers a five-day free trial that includes NBC. After the trial, prices start at $49.99 for the first month of a DIRECTV premium streaming package, which gives access to over 90 live channels.
