Fact Check: Is Creed Performing at the Super Bowl 2026 Halftime Show?

Rumors about Creed taking the stage at the Super Bowl 2026 halftime show have been spreading across social media. Fans of the Florida-based rock band have speculated about a surprise performance after the NFL confirmed Bad Bunny as the official halftime act. But is there any truth to this buzz?

Here’s what we know: Creed has not been announced by the NFL as part of the halftime show. The only confirmed performer for Super Bowl 2026, scheduled for February 8 in Santa Clara, California, is Bad Bunny. Despite online calls from political commentators and some fans for an alternate show featuring Creed, there is no verified plan for the band to appear on the NFL stage.

Where the Creed Halftime Show Rumor Came From

The speculation began after backlash from some conservative circles over the NFL’s decision to select Bad Bunny. Political commentator Jack Posobiec suggested on a podcast that Turning Point USA (TPUSA), an activist group, could host its own “counter halftime show” with Creed performing. The idea quickly caught fire on platforms such as X, with posts asking if viewers would tune in to a TPUSA event instead of the NFL broadcast.

Supporters of the idea used hashtags and viral memes to encourage the band to step in. However, no one from Creed or TPUSA has announced any official plan. The NFL itself has made no statement suggesting a second halftime event or a lineup change. The band’s current 2026 schedule lists a “Summer of ’99 & Beyond” cruise tour in April, but nothing linked to the February Super Bowl date.

What This Means for Fans

For now, fans who want to see Creed perform should not expect them at the NFL halftime show. If TPUSA were to organize a separate stream, it would not air during the main Super Bowl broadcast. Viewers would need to follow TPUSA’s platforms to watch it. Until an official statement from either Creed or the NFL appears, Bad Bunny remains the sole confirmed artist for the halftime performance.

Speculation about alternate halftime shows is not unusual — artists like Taylor Swift and Metallica have been rumored in past years — but the NFL rarely changes its lineup once announced. With the game just four months away, a surprise change is highly unlikely.

Bottom line: Creed is not scheduled to perform at the Super Bowl 2026 halftime show. The only confirmed act is Bad Bunny, and any other show mentioned online would be unofficial and separate from the NFL broadcast.
