Bizarrap is renowned for his “BZRP Sessions,” collaborations with top names in Latin music. His impressive portfolio includes hits with featured artists like:
- Quevedo (Spain)

During the halftime show, Bizarrap will not only present his new track but will also perform some of his biggest hits. “Having the opportunity to headline the halftime show at the NFL’s first game in Spain is a huge honor,” said Bizarrap. “Doing it alongside Daddy Yankee, a legend, makes it even more special.”

Event Context and Significance
This landmark event follows a prior NFL matchup in September between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Chargers, held in São Paulo, Brazil. That game featured Karol G as the main artist, exemplifying the NFL’s commitment to showcasing Latin artists on the international stage. Tim Tubito, senior director of global game presentation and entertainment for the NFL, noted the significant platform provided for Latin music’s global appeal.
