Update:

Today, the NFL is in Madrid, Spain for the first time, as the Washington Commanders face the Miami Dolphins at Madrid’s Santiago Bernabéu Stadium on Sunday, Nov. 16.

While the matchup will make sports history, the halftime show is set to make music headlines, too.

Bizarrap and Daddy Yankee take over Madrid

Argentine producer Bizarrap and Puerto Rican legend Daddy Yankee will headline the halftime show in Madrid. And they are set to perform their new collaboration, “BZRP Music Sessions #0/66” live for the first time.

“Getting the opportunity to headline the halftime show for the NFL’s first game in Spain is a huge honor,” Bizarrap said in a statement. “Especially alongside Daddy Yankee, such a legend”.

Bizarrap is best known for his “BZRP Sessions” with top Latin artists like Shakira, Quevedo, and Rauw Alejandro.

“I am really looking forward to performing onstage again with the incredibly talented Bizarrap,” Daddy Yankee said. “I feel so joyful about music and the amazing track we have created together – sharing it with fans around the world has already been so rewarding. Get ready Madrid, get ready NFL, we are going to have an amazing show!

The performance marks a major moment for Latin music’s growing influence on the NFL’s international stage, following Karol G’s show in Brazil earlier this season. Bizarrap will also perform some of his biggest hits, while pregame festivities will include Spain’s Marine Infantry Group Band and singer Karina Pasian performing the national anthems.

NFL executives say the Madrid game continues their mission to highlight Latin artists globally, merging sports and culture in an unforgettable event for fans in Spain and around the world.

Madrid mayor José Luis Martínez-Almeida called the upcoming game “another example of our city’s ability to attract world-class events,” adding that the NFL “is one of the greatest shows on earth, and Madrid will once again prove it’s ready to host a major sporting spectacle.”
