Super Bowl 2026: When Green Day performs, how to watch live

If you’re tuning in to Super Bowl LX mostly for the music — no judgment — you’ll want to get settled early. Legendary punk rock band Green Day is opening the big game with a special pre-game performance that doubles as a celebration of Super Bowl history.

Here’s how (and when) to catch it live.

When is Green Day performing?

Green Day is set to perform during the Super Bowl LX Opening Ceremony, which kicks off ahead of the game on Sunday, Feb. 8. The ceremony begins at 6 p.m. ET / 3 p.m. PT, before kickoff and before the national anthem performances.

The band’s set will help usher in generations of Super Bowl MVPs as part of the NFL’s 60th anniversary celebration, making it more of a commemorative moment than a standard concert slot.

How to watch the opening ceremony?

You’ve got a few easy ways to watch live. The opening ceremony — including Green Day’s performance — will air live on:

• NBC

• Peacock

• Telemundo

• Universo

If you’re streaming, Peacock is the most straightforward option, especially if you’re planning to watch the entire game without cable.

Who else is performing before kickoff?

Green Day won’t be the only music you’ll hear before the game starts. The pre-game lineup also includes:

• Charlie Puth performing the national anthem.

• Brandi Carlile singing "America the Beautiful."

• Coco Jones delivering the Black national anthem, "Lift Every Voice and Sing."

All of these performances will air after the opening ceremony and before kickoff, so arriving late means missing more than just Green Day.
