Where and how can I watch the alternative Super Bowl halftime show live or on demand?

1. Where the official halftime show will be available: traditional broadcast and streaming

The NFL’s planned halftime spectacle is an Apple Music‑produced event headlined by Bad Bunny and will be carried live on the Super Bowl’s national broadcast partners — NBC and Telemundo — and will stream on Peacock and the NFL+ app, meaning viewers with broadcast access or Peacock/NFL+ subscriptions can watch the halftime show in real time as part of the game telecast ^{[3] [4] [6]}. Industry reporting also notes Roc Nation’s production role and Apple Music’s partnership, which has implications for promotional previews or clips that Apple Music might later host on its platform ^{[5] [4]}.

2. What is publicly known about the alternative “All‑American” halftime show

Turning Point USA announced it will offer an alternative “All‑American Halftime Show” in response to backlash over the NFL’s Bad Bunny selection, and conservative and faith‑oriented outlets have amplified that announcement ^{[1] [7] [8]}. Faith musicians such as Cory Asbury and Forrest Frank have publicly discussed raising the idea of a faith‑based alternative and acknowledged the large audience interest and significant costs involved, but reporting indicates they and Turning Point have not released a finalized lineup, platform, or technical distribution plan as of the latest coverage ^{[2] [1]}.

3. How to watch the alternative show live — practical steps based on current evidence

Because organizers have announced the event but not the streaming venue, the most reliable way to catch the alternative show live will be to monitor Turning Point USA’s official channels and the social profiles or websites of announced performers for a platform link or livestream embed on the day of the game; NewsNation and Fox‑affiliate reporting identify Turning Point as the lead organizer, but do not list a stream URL ^{[1] [7]}. Faith media outlets that have covered the idea, such as CBN and AFA, are likely early repost channels for any livestream they are affiliated with, so subscribing to those outlets’ apps or social feeds increases the chance of finding a live link quickly ^{[2] [8]}.

4. On‑demand availability — what reporting suggests and what remains unknown

No source reviewed provides confirmation that the alternative halftime program will be archived for on‑demand viewing or distributed via established platforms after the live event; coverage repeatedly emphasizes announcements and intent but stops short of detailing post‑event availability ^{[1] [2] [7]}. By contrast, the official halftime performance has a clearer post‑broadcast path: because Apple Music and Roc Nation are producers and NBC/Peacock are broadcasters, highlights, clips or a full on‑demand segment are likely to appear on network and Apple Music channels following the live airing ^{[5] [4]}.

5. What viewers should prepare for and caveats in the reporting

Audiences should plan contingencies: tune to NBC/Peacock for the established broadcast and follow Turning Point USA, the named performers, and faith‑aligned media for the alternative stream to appear ^{[3] [1] [2]}. Reporters and advocacy outlets covering the alternative show have partisan and promotional motives — Turning Point’s political orientation and faith outlets’ campaigns supporting an alternative are central to why the event exists, which should be weighed when evaluating claims about reach or intent ^{[1] [8] [9]}. Finally, because no authoritative release describes technical partners, stream platforms, or archival plans for the alternative program, any platform‑specific instructions circulating before organizers confirm them should be treated as speculative ^{[1] [2]}.
