Green Day will open the 2026 Super Bowl with an opening ceremony performance on Feb. 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.

The East Bay band’s Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool will kick off this year’s Super Bowl festivities with “their most iconic rock anthems,” the NFL announced Sunday (Jan. 17). Though viewers will have to tune in to the show to see what they’ll play, the punk-rock trio’s collection of hits to pull from span the mid-’90s through today, beginning with breakthrough single “Basket Case” from their classic 1994 album Dookie.

The opening ceremony — celebrating 60 years of Super Bowl history and honoring Super Bowl MVPs — airs live on Super Bowl Sunday (Feb. 8) at 3 p.m. PT/6 p.m. ET on NBC, Telemundo, Peacock and Universo, ahead of the big game.

“We are super hyped to open Super Bowl 60 right in our backyard!” Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong said in a statement released by the NFL. “We are honored to welcome the MVPs who’ve shaped the game and open the night for fans all over the world. Let’s have fun! Let’s get loud!”

“Celebrating 60 years of Super Bowl history with Green Day as a hometown band, while honoring the NFL Legends who’ve helped define this sport is an incredibly powerful way to kick off Super Bowl LX,” said Tim Tubito, NFL senior director, event and game presentation. “As we work alongside NBC Sports for this opening ceremony, we look forward to creating a collective celebration for fans in the stadium and around the world.”

Green Day’s performance at the Super Bowl opening ceremony precedes the NFL’s previously announced pregame entertainment lineup. Before the game begins, Charlie Puth will perform the national anthem, Brandi Carlile will sing “America the Beautiful” and Coco Jones will sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”

Bad Bunny headlines this year’s Super Bowl halftime show. The Puerto Rican superstar and Apple Music released a teaser trailer on Friday, promising “the world will dance.” Bunny’s Debi Tirar Mas Fotos ruled the Billboard 200 chart for four weeks last year, and his world tour in support of the album is already breaking records — grossing $107 million across 697,000 tickets sold across just the first 12 shows of the eight-month trek.
