Jay-Z will headline the Super Bowl LXI halftime show at SoFi Stadium on Feb. 14

Jay-Z will headline the Super Bowl LXI halftime show on Feb. 14 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, the NFL, Apple Music and Roc Nation announced Monday night.

The league made the announcement at halftime of the Cowboys-Eagles game on Monday Night Football, according to ProFootballTalk. It puts the man who has helped run the halftime show since 2019 on the stage himself.

Roc Nation, the company Jay-Z founded in 2008, signed on with the NFL in 2019 to advise on and help produce the league's entertainment, including the halftime show. At the time, Jay-Z said he told Roger Goodell, "If this is about me performing at the Super Bowl, then we can just end this conversation now," according to the Associated Press.

Goodell said Monday that he had one request when the league reached its deal with Roc Nation: that Jay-Z "take the stage himself one day, whenever the moment felt right to him."

"From 'Reasonable Doubt' to standing on the Super Bowl halftime stage, this has been a journey," Jay-Z said in a statement. "Thirty years of music, work, and culture on the world's biggest stage. This run continues to be a dream come true."

The timing follows his tour for the 30th anniversary of "Reasonable Doubt," his 1996 debut album. That run included three sold-out shows at Yankee Stadium and ended with shows at SoFi Stadium this past weekend, the same building where he will play in February.

Jay-Z has won 25 Grammy Awards from 89 nominations. Roc Nation will executive produce the show, and Hamish Hamilton will direct it.

The game will air on ESPN and ABC and stream on Disney+, with NFL+ carrying it on mobile devices, according to the league's release. ESPN Deportes and Disney+ will have a Spanish-language telecast, and Univision will air a separate Spanish-language presentation.

Bad Bunny performed at last season's Super Bowl. His show averaged 128.2 million viewers, the fourth most for a halftime show, the AP reported.
