Turning Point USA on Monday unveiled the lineup for its rival halftime broadcast during Super Bowl LX, positioning the show as an alternative for viewers displeased with the NFL’s official halftime selection.
The event will be streamed at approximately 8 p.m. ET on Feb. 8, coinciding with the Super Bowl halftime break.
Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet said the broadcast is intended to provide families with another entertainment option.
“The All-American Halftime Show is an opportunity for Americans to enjoy a halftime show with no agenda other than to celebrate faith, family, and freedom,” Kolvet told Fox News Digital. He added that the format would allow viewers to feel “up close and personal” with the performances, rather than watching from a distant stadium perspective.
The alternative show will stream across Turning Point USA’s YouTube, X, and Rumble platforms, as well as through several television and streaming partners, including NTD, Daily Wire, and Real America’s Voice.
The announcement comes amid continued backlash over the NFL’s decision to name Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl halftime headliner. The Puerto Rican Grammy Award winner, who sings primarily in Spanish, is expected to perform much of his halftime set in Spanish during the broadcast.
“Before I say thanks to God, I’m going to say ICE out,” he said. “We’re not savages. We’re not animals. We’re not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans.”
“But there was the issue of—like [expletive] ICE could be outside [my concert],” he added. “And it’s something that we were talking about and very concerned about.”
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said federal law enforcement agencies, including ICE, would be present at the Super Bowl as part of standard security operations.
“We are going to enforce the law,” Noem said during an appearance on “The Benny Show” podcast. “So I think people should not be coming to the Super Bowl unless they’re law-abiding Americans who love this country.”
Super Bowl LX will be held Feb. 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The annual championship game is among the most-watched live broadcasts in the United States.
