By all accounts, the Super Bowl 59 Halftime Show was a hit, with Kendrick Lamar and his guests (namely SZA) hitting the mark. Of course, with the 2024-25 NFL season now in the rearview mirror, all eyes are set on who will take center stage at next year’s Big Game.

Nobody knows who will headline the 2026 Super Bowl just yet, but a laundry list of contenders are in the mix. Massive names are being tossed around, and it only takes one quick look at the early Super Bowl Halftime Show odds to see next year’s performance could be quite the spectacle.

If you want to get ahead of the game and bet on the Super Bowl Halftime Show early, join me as I break down the top contenders to pick up the torch next.

Before long, there will be more Super Bowl 60 Halftime Show prop bets. Right now, though, you can only bet on who will headline the event next.

Post Malone starts the bidding off as a +200 betting favorite. I can see why, as he is a massive star in the music industry, and he even performed at this year’s Big Game. Of course, that distinction could easily work against him, just as well.

My early prediction to perform at the 2026 Super Bowl Halftime Show is Billie Eilish, as she’s an even bigger name than Post Malone, and she offers more upside with her +1200 price tag. Let’s take a closer look at the most compelling options.

Super Bowl 60 Halftime Show Favorites

Post Malone leads the charger as we look to Super Bowl 60. Let’s see how he stacks up against the other top contenders.

Post Malone (+200)

Post Malone enters the 2025 NFL off-season as the favorite to perform at the Super Bowl Halftime Show next year. I don’t hate the logic, as he got his feet wet at Super Bowl 59, singing America the Beautiful before the game, and also headlining the Super Bowl LIX Tailgate Concert.

Experience, star power, and song recognition are non-issues here. The 29-year old has a slew of big hits, and his versatile style would make for a fresh and exciting performance. He’s also tied to a bunch of big names in terms of past and prospective future collaborations, so the special guest list would be a fun one to project.

Interest from all parties should be prevalent, too. The fact that he took part in two different Super Bowl performances tells you all you need to know in that regard.

Of course, there could be the issue of performance fatigue. Do people really need Post Malone to headline the SB Halftime Show after just seeing him at the Big Game? I tend to doubt it.

The odds and most of the logic supports Post Malone as an inviting +200 bet at most sportsbooks, but I’ll be seeking out viable options with more lucrative odds despite some of the best handicappers flocking to this star.

Taylor Swift (+400)

One such bet could be Taylor Swift, who is attached to the NFL whether you like it or not. There is the obvious connection with her still dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, while the NFL has certainly not been sad about the extra publicity her Swifties have gotten the league.

Viewership would be as high as ever if Swift got the nod, as she’s been around as a hit-maker for over a decade now. Swift’s collection of massive hits rivals just about anyone’s, as she’s racked up numerous #1 smashes, as well as big awards at events such as the Grammys and MTV VMAs.

One potential issue could be the status of her boyfriend’s playing career. It stands to reason that she’d want to maintain her availability in the event he continues playing. Naturally, she might not want to be distracted (or distract Kelce) by performing at the very game he could be playing in again.

That wouldn’t make Swift a total non-contender, but I do think I’d prefer to see Kelce retire before betting on Swift to get the nod.

In general, Swift is a very appealing bet. She’s arguably the biggest star in the music industry, and she bangs out hits like few can. It’s honestly a shock she hasn’t headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show yet and at +400 I think she’s a fantastic bet to target going into next year.

Billie Eilish (+1200)

Miley Cyrus has better odds (+900) and there are worthwhile rivals at the same price as Eilish – Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande – but if I had to pick one it’s easily the “Bad Guy” singer.

Eilish has enjoyed a meteoric rise to fame, with the 23-year old first gaining steam in 2015 with her debut, “Ocean Eyes”. She skyrocketed four years later with the release of mega hit “Bad Guy”, with her album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? taking her career to a whole new level.

Backed by her talented brother Finneas O’Connell, Eilish has knocked out numerous hits since then, receiving two Oscar wins, nine Grammys, and a litany of other prestigious awards on the way up.

At this point, Eilish has positioned herself on the same level as anyone who has performed at the Super Bowl Halftime Show in the past, and yet her +1200 odds have her priced like a second tier performer.

The value with Eilish is through the roof, and may ultimately may end up being the biggest “mover” in this betting market before it’s all said and done.

Top Super Bowl 60 Halftime Show Value Bet

If you want to seek a bit more value, I’d say go for Sabrina Carpenter at +2500. There are safer bets with more favorable odds, and there are undeniably bigger icons with longer odds.

But is anyone hotter than the “Please, Please, Please” singer right now? Her heat index could go down by the time next year’s Big Game rolls around, to be sure, but as things stand Sabrina Carpenter is one of the biggest stars on the planet.

Some might suggest that Carpenter is too young to headline the Super Bowl, but at 25, she’s already reached a status level that some performers strive for over the course of decades.

The NFL is about one thing and one thing only; keeping eyes on the television. Carpenter already has a solid body of work behind her with six studio albums and she’s racked up some serious hardware in the process.

Carpenter’s fame hit new levels over the past two years, as she won Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Pop Solo Performance at the 2025 Grammys. With huge hits like “Espresso”, “Nonsense”, and “Cupid” shoving her into the spotlight, it’s fair to assume she will only gain popularity heading into Super Bowl 60.

Super Bowl 60 Halftime Show Predictions

I don’t mind aiming high with a rising superstar like Sabrina Carpenter. I don’t even hate the idea of reading the tea leaves and “playing it safe” with Post Malone.

However, I don’t see anyone offering a better combination of star power, hit songs, name recognition, and betting value than Billie Eilish.

Eilish is actually younger than Sabrina Carpenter, but she’s been at superstar status since she was a teenager, and she has a more vast collection of recognizable songs. Besides, with a recent survey circling Eilish as a prime candidate to step up to the plate next, I think she’s an awesome bet.

Bet: Billie Eilish (+1200)
