Charlie Puth will sing the national anthem at the 2026 Super Bowl, as the New England Patriots prepare to face the Seattle Seahawks at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The game, Super Bowl LX, marks a significant event in the NFL season, potentially impacting the record for most Super Bowl wins.
Puth, known for pop hits like "See You Again" and "We Don't Talk Anymore," will perform the "Star Spangled Banner" before the game. The musician, 34, described the anthem as "one of the most beautiful pieces of music," but also "the hardest to sing," according to CBS News. He explained in a social media video that the song's vocal range is challenging, spanning from a low D to a high A, unlike most songs that typically cover an octave.
The upcoming Super Bowl will be the fourth appearance for the Seattle Seahawks in the big game, and it comes 20 years after their first appearance, which ended in a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to CBS News. The Seahawks have won the Super Bowl once, in 2014, when they defeated the Denver Broncos. The New England Patriots will be looking to take sole possession of the record for most Super Bowl wins.
The 2025 Super Bowl saw the Philadelphia Eagles defeat Kansas City, preventing the Chiefs from achieving a three-peat. The Eagles earned their second Lombardi Trophy in franchise history.

Former NFL tight end Benjamin Watson noted a shift in the NFL, where athletes are increasingly open about their faith. "There was an idea that there were certain things that were off-limits because they might be controversial, people might think differently," Watson told Fox News Digital. "So I think that in general you're seeing young people speak more about convictions, passions than they ever were before, specifically as regards to faith."
