Quick answer
The national anthem singer for Super Bowl LXI has not been announced yet. Last year, Charlie Puth sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” before Super Bowl LX. This page is updated the day the NFL names the 2027 singer.
The national anthem is the last big moment before kickoff of Super Bowl LXI on Sunday, February 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. Here is what we know about the 2027 pregame, when the anthem starts, and every anthem singer of the last 14 Super Bowls.
Who is singing the national anthem at the Super Bowl 2027?
The NFL has not named the Super Bowl LXI anthem singer yet. The league usually announces the anthem singer together with the rest of the pregame lineup, including the performers of “America the Beautiful” and “Lift Every Voice and Sing”, in the weeks before the game. For Super Bowl LX, the lineup was announced before the two teams were even known.
The halftime headliner has not been confirmed either. See the latest on our Super Bowl halftime show page.
What time is the national anthem at the Super Bowl?
The anthem is sung shortly before kickoff, usually 10 to 15 minutes before the scheduled start. With kickoff at 6:30 PM ET (3:30 PM PT), expect the anthem at about 6:15 to 6:20 PM ET, which is 3:15 to 3:20 PM PT.
