BTS’s Possible Super Bowl 2027 Performance Ignites Intense Discussion

BTS is caught in the middle of Super Bowl 2027 halftime show talks—and the fan reaction is split.

The controversy started right after Bad Bunny’s huge 2026 Super Bowl performance went global. The NFL spotlighted a non-English act on one of the world’s biggest stages, showing Puerto Rican culture loud and proud. Naturally, some fans jumped on Twitter demanding BTS headline the next big halftime show.

Posts like this went viral fast:

“If we’re doing non-English performances for the Super Bowl halftime show now, NFL gotta get BTS next year post-comeback”

Others said BTS would push Asian representation way further and keep the cultural momentum going at the event:

“I hope BTS perform next year Super Bowl halftime show. Let’s continue the trend of pissing off racist whites while continuing to connect through real authentic culture.”
— Prosody Trip, February 10, 2026

Fans even bet heavily on BTS landing the gig:

“I’m willing to be ten THOUSAND DOLLARS that next year’s Super Bowl halftime show will either be Tyler, the Creator or BTS. Book it.”

BTS is leading Billboard’s poll for the 2027 halftime show by a huge margin.

But the hype isn’t universal. Some ARMYs are pushing back hard, worried about racism and xenophobia the group faced during the 2021–22 Grammys era. They question if the Super Bowl would be a safe, welcoming space for BTS.

“I genuinely don’t understand why y’all want BTS to perform at the #SuperBowl. Did y’all forget how much racism, xenophobic comments, COVID jokes and Chinese slurs they faced during 2021–22 just for attending the Grammys? Bad Bunny is literally being targeted by Donald Trump.”

Some fear the negativity could be overwhelming:

“I am scared for BTS to do the super bowl… It’s not the first time I’ve been scared for them, but each and every time they’ve always shown themselves, despite the scary circumstances, and they become bigger than ever. I want it if they want it. Fear be damned.”

There are also scheduling clashes to consider. BTS has concerts lined up in Melbourne and Sydney around the same time as next year’s big game. Aussie fans are ready to fight if the Super Bowl plans interfere.

“BTS will be in Australia for their concerts in Melbourne and Sydney around the time of Super Bowl next year and as an Aussie ARMY, Y’ALL WILL NEED TO FIGHT US BEFORE YOU CAN TAKE THEM Get SB to resched or something because it won’t be us. WE’VE WAITED 9 YEARS. “

“i have to wonder how different this bts/australia tour/super bowl discourse would be if it was american dates on the line”

No official confirmation BTS is even in talks yet. But the conversation alone shows BTS still commands major attention for global stages.
