On February 8, 2026, this year's National Football League (NFL) final will take place at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara (California). The evening's opening act has now also been announced. The US punk rock band Green Day will heat up the fans on site and the millions watching on TV.
The biggest single sporting event in the world is just around the corner again. The Super Bowl will be held in Santa Clara, California, in 2026. The halftime show act has been known for some time – Bad Bunny. The Puerto Rican rapper will bring his Latin vibes to the legendary Super Bowl stage. Now the world also knows who will be opening Super Bowl LX. Green Day are the real local heroes this time. The band hails from the town of Rodeo, just 25 miles east of San Francisco.
In 1994, the three musicians Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool achieved their international breakthrough with the album «Dookie». Songs such as «Basket Case», «Boulevard of Broken Dreams» and «American Idiot» have since become part of the musical cultural heritage. Green Day significantly shaped the punk rock scene of the 90s. The US-Americans are now one of the most commercially successful bands ever. Their performance at this year's Super Bowl is another highlight in the band's long history.
In addition to Green Day, who will provide the musical backdrop for the opening ceremony, numerous MVPs from 60 years of Super Bowl history will appear on the pitch at Levi's Stadium. The NFL legends who have helped shape the game will be honored at the opening ceremony.
In sporting terms, we can also look forward to another top pairing. The two best teams of the regular season, the Denver Broncos (AFC) and the Seattle Seahawks (NFC), are still in the running for a place in the Super Bowl. The two conference finals are completed by the New England Patriots and the Los Angeles Rams.
