The Apple Music Halftime Show was headlined by Bad Bunny, with Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin joining as special guests.

If you’re looking for the vibe in one line: it was a high-energy, stadium-sized performance built for big visuals and big crowd moments. It also pulled huge TV numbers, which tracks with how much the halftime show has become its own headline event.

Super Bowl 2026 start time in India (IST)

For India, that works out to around 5:00 AM IST on Monday, February 9, 2026.

Quick check you can use: Pacific to India is typically 13 hours 30 minutes ahead in early February.

How to watch Super Bowl 2026 (and what people usually forget)

In the US, Super Bowl LX aired on NBC, with streaming also available on Peacock.

Two practical reminders that save frustration:

  • Pregame coverage starts hours earlier than kickoff. If you only care about the game, set your alarm for kickoff, not “pregame.”
  • If you’re streaming, test your setup early. The worst time to update an app is five minutes before kickoff.

Where was Super Bowl 2026 played?

Super Bowl 2026 was held at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, in the San Francisco Bay Area. It’s one of those venues built for massive events, which is exactly what the Super Bowl needs.

The easiest way to host a Super Bowl party that doesn’t feel chaotic

If you want a party plan that actually works, keep it tight:

The 3-zone setup

  • Food zone: Put everything on one table. Plates and napkins at the start of the line.
  • Drink zone: Separate table or counter. Less traffic near the food.
  • Game zone: Clear view of the TV, no clutter, one “spare chair” for the late arrival.

Timing that saves you

  • Start food at kickoff, not an hour before. People snack the whole time anyway.
  • Save your “hot” item for halftime so it feels like a fresh wave, not leftovers.

One genuine best-practice pick

If you only make one thing, make something that stays good after it cools. Sliders, wings, pizza, nachos, and dips age well. Fancy plated food does not.
