The confetti from Super Bowl LX has barely been swept up, but the speculation machine is already churning.

With Bad Bunny’s halftime performance now in the history books, fans and sportsbooks alike are looking ahead — way ahead — to figure out who will take the stage at next year’s big game.

On Feb. 10, FanDuel Canada released its performer odds for the 2027 Super Bowl Halftime Show, giving football fans and music lovers something new to debate during the long offseason.

And if the early buzz is any indication, the conversation around next year’s halftime performer could be one of the most spirited in recent memory.

Early Favorites for 2027 Super Bowl Halftime Show

According to FanDuel’s way-too-early odds, Miley Cyrus sits atop the board as the current favorite to headline the 2027 halftime show.

Here’s the full breakdown of FanDuel’s top 10:

• Miley Cyrus (+310)
• Cardi B (+440)
• Taylor Swift (+490)
• Lil Wayne (+520)
• A$AP Rocky (+610)
• Justin Bieber (+790)
• J. Cole (+880)
• Drake (+880)
• Ariana Grande (+920)
• Harry Styles (+1040)

For those unfamiliar with how betting odds work, a lower number generally signals that the sportsbook considers that outcome more likely.

In this case, Cyrus at +310 leads the pack, followed by Cardi B and Taylor Swift, who round out the top three.

But FanDuel didn’t stop at just 10 names.

Other artists in FanDuel’s sights include Morgan Wallen (+1120), Lady Gaga (+1200), Metallica (+1260), BLACKPINK (+1260), Lil Nas X (+1300), Doja Cat (+1400) and Billie Eilish (+1500).

The list spans genres from pop and hip-hop to country and heavy metal, reflecting the NFL’s trend of showcasing a wide range of musical talent during its marquee event.

One Notable Name Was Missing From the Board

One performer notably absent from FanDuel’s list? BTS.

The omission has not gone unnoticed, particularly among the group’s passionate fanbase.

BTS is making a major comeback in 2026 after a nearly four-year hiatus for military service. That comeback features a new album, Arirang, which was released March 20, along with a global world tour starting in April and a documentary, BTS: The Return, arriving on Netflix on March 27.

With all of that momentum building, fans are already requesting the NFL to add the Super Bowl Halftime Show to BTS’s itinerary.

On Feb. 10, Billboard ran a poll asking fans who they want to see perform at next year’s halftime show.

The list of options included Miley Cyrus, BTS, BLACKPINK, Taylor Swift, Jay-Z, Post Malone, Morgan Wallen, Lil Wayne, Drake, Harry Styles and Justin Bieber. There was also a section listed “Other.”

The results, as of Feb. 12, weren’t even close.

A commanding 85% of the pollees chose BTS, dwarfing every other option on the ballot. The next closest selection was “Other” at 4%, followed by BLACKPINK at 2.7% and Taylor Swift at 2.3%.

The gulf between BTS and the rest of the field in that poll underscores the group’s enormous and highly mobilized online fanbase, which has a well-documented track record of showing up in large numbers for online votes and campaigns.

Whether those poll numbers translate into a real booking, of course, is a different matter entirely.

When Will Fans Actually Find Out?

If past years are any guide, there will be a long wait before anything is official. The NFL often announces the Super Bowl Halftime Show performer within the first few weeks of the regular season.

For example, the 2025-26 regular season began Sept. 4. Bad Bunny was unveiled as the Super Bowl LX artist on Sept. 28.

The 2026-27 schedule hasn’t been released yet, meaning it could be well into the fall before the league makes its next halftime announcement. Until then, the odds boards and fan polls will have to do.

Where Is the 2027 Super Bowl?

The 2027 Super Bowl, marketed as Super Bowl LXI, is slated for Feb. 14 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.

The Valentine’s Day date adds an extra layer of spectacle to what is already the biggest single-day event in American sports.

It’ll be the second time SoFi Stadium has acted as host following the 2022 Super Bowl, known as Super Bowl LVI. The halftime show that year was headlined by Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar, per the NFL.

That 2022 performance set a high bar for SoFi Stadium halftime shows. It became the first halftime show to win the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Variety Special (Live), per the Television Academy.

Whoever takes the stage in 2027 will be performing in a venue with a halftime legacy that’s already award-winning.

With months to go before any official announcement, the 2027 Super Bowl Halftime Show remains wide open.

FanDuel’s odds favor established pop and hip-hop stars like Cyrus, Cardi B and Swift, but the overwhelming fan support for BTS — and the group’s massive 2026 comeback — could inject an unexpected variable into the conversation.

For now, fans can place their bets, cast their poll votes and make their voices heard on social media.

The NFL will have the final say, but one thing is already clear: whoever headlines Super Bowl LXI at SoFi Stadium on Feb. 14 will step into one of the most-watched stages on the planet — with very big shoes to fill.
