After Bad Bunny’s electrifying performance at the 2026 Super Bowl, legendary singers the Backstreet Boys have expressed their one musical desire. As the boy band continue their Into The Millennium residency in Las Vegas, they’re proposing to bring their nostalgic setlist, and coordinating outfits, on another important stage: the 2027 Super Bowl.





Backstreet Boys are manifesting a halftime show at Super Bowl 2027 On February 11, as per a fan video from @jpasc24, Backstreet Boys announced they’re interested in singing their iconic setlist at the 2027 Super Bowl. This comes days after they appeared in two commercials for this year’s football game.



“What do you guys think? Backstreet Boys: 2027 Super Bowl Halftime,” AJ Mclean asked the crowd during their show at the Las Vegas sphere as per the fan video. “Let’s make it happen! I mean, why not? It’s in Los Angeles, it’s right down the street.”





When Backstreet Boys performed the National Anthem at Super BowlWhile the ‘I Want It That Way’ singers, also consisting of Kevin Richardson, Howie Dorough, Nick Carter and Brian Littrel, are eager to perform a medley at next year’s big game, they weren’t always open to the idea. In fact, Nick previously revealed the band declined to headline the 2001 Super Bowl and sang the national anthem instead.



“At the time, we loved the Whitney Houston rendition of the national anthem. And for us, we got the choice and we passed on the halftime,” the 46-year-old told Entertainment Tonight in 2021. “But it was a memorable experience for everyone, and I like to say we did a really good job at the national anthem.”





Nick Carter on late 90s nostalgia Praising the 2001 Super Bowl performers NSYNc, band member Nick carter, 46, reflected on the late 90s era and said, “That again is going back to the era we came from, the late ‘90s.It was a really beautiful time and I think everybody wants that again. They want that feeling coming out of this, everything that we have gone through together and society for the past year and a half.”





While nothing has been officially confirmed, the Backstreet Boys have certainly made their interest known.
