Is Green Day the right choice to open Super Bowl LX as the NFL honors 60 years of MVPs?
Green Day to Open Super Bowl LX in Hometown Performance
Green Day is set to open Super Bowl LX on February 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California—the band’s hometown region. The legendary punk rock trio will kick off the ceremony by performing some of their biggest hits, helping celebrate the NFL’s 60th Super Bowl and honoring past MVPs in a high-energy pregame moment. The event follows Green Day’s major touring cycle for their 2024 album *Saviors*, which included headlining Coachella 2025 and receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Their return to the Super Bowl stage has sparked both nostalgia and buzz about their cross-generational appeal. Some fans are excited to see the band’s rebellious energy on football’s biggest night, while others question whether younger audiences will connect with the legacy act.
