No star is confirmed for the Super Bowl 2027 halftime show yet. The NFL has not named a performer. Fans still search for the answer each day.
What happened
The NFL has not announced a halftime performer for Super Bowl LXI. NorthJersey.com reported that no name is confirmed.
USA TODAY reported the same fact on October 9.
Super Bowl LXI is the 2027 title game. It will take place on February 14, 2027. SoFi Stadium in California will host the game.
That date is Valentine's Day. It also falls on Presidents Day weekend.
NorthJersey.com reported both facts.
ABC and ESPN will show the game on TV. Disney+ will stream it too.
NorthJersey.com reported that Disney+ will carry the game live.
The broadcast team will include Joe Buck and Troy Aikman. Lisa Salters and Laura Rutledge will join them.
NorthJersey.com named all four.
SoFi Stadium opened in 2020. It has hosted a Super Bowl before. USA TODAY said this game will be its second turn as host.
The venue cost more than 5 billion dollars to build. USA TODAY reported that figure. The site sits in the Los Angeles area.
One group shapes the halftime pick each year. That group is Roc Nation. The NFL has worked with Roc Nation since 2019.
Roc Nation is the music company of Jay-Z. USA TODAY reported that Jay-Z has picked the performer since 2020. His full name is Shawn Carter.
USA TODAY said it asked the NFL and Roc Nation for more detail. No new detail had come back at the time of that report.
Rumors fill the gap left by the silence. The biggest rumor centers on Miley Cyrus. But no source has confirmed her as the pick.
One rumor started with a deleted image. The image claimed Apple Music leaked an announcement. It showed a shape that looked like Miley.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reported that the image was unverified. It also said no official word followed it.
Miley added fuel on October 6. She posted a photo with a short caption. The caption read, "Bowl rehearsals.
See you soon."
Fans linked the post to the Super Bowl. But the post pointed to a different stage. Her shows at the Hollywood Bowl fall on October 16 and 18.
TMZ reported two more names in September. The outlet said Harry Styles and Justin Bieber were on a short list. The list came from Roc Nation, according to TMZ.
TMZ also said neither star had been asked yet. Its sources said both stars were unlikely to take the job. That claim is still unconfirmed.
Social media users named other stars too. The Cincinnati Enquirer listed Beyonce, Drake, Rihanna, and Taylor Swift. All of those names are fan talk, not news.
Betting markets track the same names. Kalshi is a prediction market.
NorthJersey.com listed its odds for the pick.
Miley Cyrus led at 48 percent. Jay-Z sat at 46 percent. Harry Styles stood at 19 percent.
Beyonce stood at 17 percent. Post Malone stood at 9 percent. Justin Bieber stood at 8 percent.
Taylor Swift stood at 5 percent. These odds show bets, not facts. They can shift fast.
Tuesday brought one more twist. Dancing with the Stars aired a Super Bowl Night episode. Joe Buck served as a guest judge.
Some fans hoped for news on that show. NorthJersey.com said an announcement there was unlikely.
It said no announcement was scheduled or confirmed.
On Dancing with the Stars, Guillermo Rodriguez just left the show. That exit kept the show in the news. It did not bring halftime news.
Why it matters
The halftime show is a huge stage. Millions watch it live. A strong show can lift a star for years.
Bad Bunny set the bar this year. He played at Levi's Stadium in California. USA TODAY called his show the most watched globally.
Fans now ask who can match that mark. That is why each rumor spreads fast. That is why the wait feels long.
The show also matters for TV. The game draws a huge crowd each year. The halftime show keeps many viewers in their seats.
The wait is late by recent norms. Six of the past seven stars were named in September. USA TODAY reported that pattern.
Bad Bunny was named on September 28, 2025. Kendrick Lamar was named on September 8, 2024. Usher was named on September 24, 2023.
Rihanna was named on September 25, 2022. Dr Dre and his co-stars were named on September 30, 2021. Shakira and Jennifer Lopez were named on September 26, 2019.
The one exception was The Weeknd. He was named on November 12, 2020. That year faced the pandemic.
So a late pick is rare but not new. The NFL can still name a star in October. Fans should wait for an official post.
Odds move when people place bets. A high number means many bets, not a deal. A low number means few bets.
Smart fans read odds as mood, not news. Odds track what bettors think. They do not show what the NFL has picked.
Football fans are in full season mode now. The Bills won in overtime this week. Their fans now dream of a Super Bowl trip.
That dream links the season to the show. The game and the show share one night. Both will draw a huge crowd.
What happens next
The announcement could come on any day. The NFL, Roc Nation, and Apple Music will share it. They have run past reveals as a team.
NorthJersey.com said past reveals came in a planned way. The league used posts and short videos.
Fans should watch those official feeds.
Fans should skip fake leaks. A deleted image is not proof. A fan post is not proof.
Odds are not proof either. They show what bettors think. They do not show what the NFL has picked.
The real sign will be clear. The NFL or Apple Music will post a name. Roc Nation will back it up.
Check the NFL feed first. Check Apple Music next. Check Roc Nation next.
If none of them name a star, the news is not real.
Until then, the answer stays simple. No star is confirmed yet. The search goes on.
When the name drops, the wait will end fast. Fans will learn the pick in one post. Then the talk will turn to the set list.
