How the NFL Selects Halftime Performers
The NFL works with its broadcast partners and production teams to choose performers based on audience appeal, cultural relevance, and logistical fit. The league considers factors such as the performer's ability to deliver a large-scale stage show, their availability, and their fit with the broadcast timing. The selection process is not open to public voting.

The performance is produced by the NFL and the network airing the game, with input from the headliner and creative teams. For a current list of past headliners, see the official NFL page at nfl.com.
