Sunday night's Super Bowl and Bad Bunny fell short of setting records of
setting records for most watched U.S. broadcast and halftime show.
Seattle's 29-13 victory over New England averaged 124.9 million viewers on NBC,
Peacock, Telemundo, NBC Sports Digital, and NFL+, according to Nielsen's Big
Data + Panel rating system.
That fell short of the 127.7 million U.S. viewers that tuned in for
Philadelphia's 40-22 victory over Kansas City last year on Fox.
Bad Bunny's halftime show averaged 128.2 million viewers from 8:15-8:30 p.m.
Eastern. That would make it the fourth-most watched halftime behind Kendrick
Lamar (133.5 million, 2025), Michael Jackson (133.4 million, 1993) and Usher
(129.3 million, 2024).
Full global viewership for the halftime show is expected to be available early
next week.
