Turning Point USA has confirmed its “All-American Halftime Show” will go ahead as planned on February 8, offering an alternative to the NFL’s halftime show featuring Bad Bunny.
TPUSA recently released a “viewing flyer” for their halftime program, which will air at the same time as the official Super Bowl LX halftime show at Levi’s Stadium.
As The Dallas Express previously reported, Turning Point USA first announced the alternative event in October following backlash over the NFL’s decision to book Bad Bunny. Critics pointed to the artist’s past public statements opposing immigration enforcement and remarks expressing contempt toward Americans who objected to the NFL’s halftime programming.
According to the TPUSA website, “The All-American Halftime Show” will be watchable on multiple different online platforms. Fans can catch the show via YouTube on both Turning Point USA’s channel and The Charlie Kirk Show’s channel, as well as on X and Rumble.
The broadcast will also air on The Daily Wire, Real America’s Voice, Trinity Broadcasting Network, Charge!, The National News Desk, New Tang Dynasty, and One America News.
While Turning Point USA has confirmed the February 8 date and broadcast details, the organization has kept its performer lineup under wraps, with no announcement as of press time on who will headline the event
Online speculation has circulated around several artists, including rock band Creed and rapper Nicki Minaj, who appeared at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest event in Phoenix last December. Neither artist has confirmed participation.
When the show was first announced by TPUSA the organization’s website included a survey asking viewers to select preferred music genres to choose from, ranging from worship and country to hip-hop and rock. One option simply read “Anything in English.”
TPUSA spokesperson Aubrey Laitsch also confirmed the show is “100 percent on,” telling TMZ earlier this month that it will be a full production in an “arena setting.”
The competing halftime shows have drawn renewed attention to the cultural divide that followed the NFL’s decision to book Bad Bunny. The artist drew further backlash when he hosted Saturday Night Live after the NFL’s announcement, mocking critics in Spanish and telling them to learn the language before his performance.
His selection also drew criticism from President Donald Trump, who said he had never heard of the artist and questioned the NFL’s decision. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem also criticized the league while confirming ICE agents would be present at the Super Bowl, despite Bad Bunny’s past statements opposing immigration enforcement.
Both shows will air free of charge on February 8, offering viewers an alternative to the NFL’s official halftime broadcast.
