Super Bowl 2026: Who is performing America the Beautiful ahead of Patriots vs. Seahawks at Super Bowl LX

The stage is set for Super Bowl LX and it's the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots who punched their tickets to Levi's Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers. Come Sunday, February 8 in Santa Clara, California, a new world champion will be crowned and the Lombardi Trophy will be raised.

But before either add another Super Bowl win to their franchise's history, multiple artists will take the field for some traditional pregame performances. The national anthem, "America the Beautiful" and "Lift Every Voice and Sing" will be performed before the 6:30 p.m. ET kickoff.

Singer Brandi Carlile and Deaf music performer Julian Ortiz will perform "America the Beautiful."
