Early Market Opens for Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show
Betting Sites have opened the early market for the Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show headliner and two global pop superstars sit at the top of the betting.
Sabrina Carpenter and Ariana Grande are joint 2/1 favourites to headline next year’s show at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, with the Big Game scheduled for February 14.
As always, speculation is already swirling online about which major artist will take the baton and betting sites have wasted no time pricing up the frontrunners.
With heavyweight names dominating the board, this year’s early market suggests the NFL could be eyeing a huge pop-led spectacle.
Super Bowl LXI – Halftime Show Headliner Odds
| Super Bowl LXI Halftime Show Headliner | Odds | Implied Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Sabrina Carpenter | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Ariana Grande | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Miley Cyrus | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Post Malone | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Harry Styles | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Taylor Swift | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Adele | 9/1 | 10.0% |
| Lil Wayne | 9/1 | 10.0% |
| Olivia Rodrigo | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| Oasis | 10/1 | 9.1% |
Both Carpenter and Grande are given an implied 33.3% probability of landing the prestigious slot, a strong early position in what is traditionally a fluid novelty market.
A Female Headliner Return?
Should either Sabrina Carpenter or Ariana Grande secure the headline role, it would mark the first female-led Super Bowl Halftime Show since Rihanna’s performance in 2023.
Since then, the NFL has opted for major male headliners including Usher, Kendrick Lamar and Bad Bunny, each delivering high-profile, culturally significant performances.
The potential return to a female pop superstar could signal a shift back toward a mainstream chart-dominating spectacle.
Carpenter’s rapid global rise and Grande’s established stadium pedigree both fit the Super Bowl template which includes commercial success, cross-generational appeal and massive streaming numbers.
Miley, Post Malone & The Chasing Pack
Sitting just behind the favourites are Miley Cyrus and Post Malone at 4/1.
Both artists have crossover appeal and strong live-performance credentials, making them realistic contenders in the eyes of betting sites.
Harry Styles and Taylor Swift follow at 6/1, though Swift’s previous NFL spotlight moments may complicate speculation.
Adele (9/1), Lil Wayne (9/1) and Olivia Rodrigo (10/1) add further star power to an already stacked shortlist.
Perhaps the most intriguing inclusion is Oasis at 10/1 with the prospect of a Britpop-inspired Super Bowl spectacle certainly expected to generate global attention.
