Jay-Z has reportedly chosen himself to perform the Super Bowl halftime show at Los Angeles in February 2027.

Jay-Z has reportedly chosen himself to perform the Super Bowl halftime show at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on 14 February 2027, according to reports from Puck. The Brooklyn rapper oversees halftime talent selection through his company Roc Nation following an agreement reached with the NFL in 2019, which was renewed in 2024. Under this arrangement, Jay-Z has previously selected artists including Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar and Bad Bunny to perform at the halftime show.

Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber had been considered for this year's performance, according to multiple sources cited by the outlets. Jay-Z is currently on tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of his album 'Reasonable Doubt' and will perform two shows at SoFi Stadium this week, where the halftime announcement could potentially be made.

Neither Jay-Z, Roc Nation nor the NFL have officially confirmed the report. The Daily Mail reported in September that Jay-Z was considering himself for the role, something which Roc Nation and the NFL denied at the time. Jay-Z has never performed at the Super Bowl, though his wife Beyoncé headlined the 2013 halftime show in New Orleans and returned as a guest performer in 2016.
