Which streaming platforms will host full halftime shows for the 2026 alternative artists?

1. The official halftime broadcast and its platform partners

The NFL announced Bad Bunny as the headliner of the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show; the halftime event is an Apple Music–branded production in partnership with Roc Nation and will be shown during NBC’s Super Bowl broadcast with digital distribution on Peacock, per the NFL and Wikipedia reporting ^{[1] [2]}.

2. Turning Point USA’s alternative show exists — distribution remains vague

Turning Point USA publicly announced “The All American Halftime Show” as counterprogramming to Bad Bunny’s NFL-backed performance and set up promotional pages and social posts about the event ^{[3] [4]}. Available sources describe the announcement and intent to stream as parallel programming but do not list a confirmed slate of mainstream streaming partners that will host full-length performances of the alternative lineup ^{[4] [3]}.

3. Media outlets reported plans and cancellations with conflicting details

News outlets and fact‑checks document both the initial TPUSA announcement and subsequent social speculation about pickup or cancellation; some reports said TPUSA continued promoting the event while others noted NBC declined to carry the counterprogram, shifting it to be streamed independently — but none of the provided sources names a specific mainstream streaming service taking the alternative show in full ^{[5] [6] [4]}.

4. What the available reporting does confirm about reach and intent

Turning Point USA signaled it would stream the alternate program opposite the NFL halftime performance and promoted artists and themes such as “Faith, Family & Freedom” in its publicity ^{[3] [7]}. Fact‑checking sites and major outlets confirm TPUSA moved from speculation to a formal announcement, indicating intent to reach audiences outside NBC’s official broadcast ^{[4] [3]}.

5. Where reporting is silent — and why that matters

Available sources do not mention specific commercial platforms (for example Apple TV+, YouTube, X/Twitter live, Netflix, Rumble, or others) that have contracted to host full televised sets of Turning Point’s alternative artists; they report only that TPUSA will stream and promote the event on its channels and that NBC declined to broadcast it ^{[4] [5] [6]}. That absence means any claim that a named streamer will carry full performances would go beyond the current reporting ^[4].

6. Conflicting incentives and likely distribution models

Mainstream services have commercial and reputational incentives before affiliating with politically charged counterprogramming; outlets reported NBC dropped the TPUSA special and that TPUSA would rely on its own social properties and independent streaming to reach viewers — a distribution strategy consistent with groups seeking control over content when traditional partners step back ^{[5] [6] [3]}.

7. How to verify platform availability before game day

Given the reporting gaps, the only verified platforms for the official halftime are Apple Music’s branding plus NBC/Peacock distribution ^{[1] [2]}. To confirm whether any third‑party streaming services will carry full sets by alternative artists, look for platform announcements, TPUSA’s official pages or press releases, and confirmation from the platforms themselves; none of those confirmations appear in the sources provided here ^{[4] [3]}.

Limitations and transparency: this analysis uses only the supplied sources. Sources confirm the NFL/Apple Music/NBC/Peacock arrangement for the official halftime and confirm TPUSA’s announced counterprogramming, but they do not list specific commercial streaming platforms that will host full performances of the alternative lineup ^{[1] [2] [4] [3]}.
