The revelation came during an interview on the South Korean YouTube show “Gwang Series” on March 25, 2026, sparking excitement among the group’s dedicated fanbase, known as ARMY.

J-Hope’s Super Bowl Ambition

When asked about his “dream stage,” J-Hope responded, “It’s good to dream considerable. Super Bowl.” He further elaborated, expressing his curiosity about the experience, stating, “Wow, if we perform at the Super Bowl I wonder what it would feel like.” The host of the show, Kany Diabaté, enthusiastically supported the idea, urging the NFL to consider BTS for a future halftime performance, saying, “Super Bowl people, you have to call BTS!”

The Significance of the Super Bowl Halftime Show

The Super Bowl halftime show is a highly coveted performance slot, reserved for world-class artists. The event, the final game of the National Football League (NFL), draws an audience of over 100 million viewers in the United States alone. Past performers include iconic musicians such as Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Lady Gaga and Beyoncé. Billboard reports that J-Hope isn’t alone in hoping for a BTS Super Bowl appearance.

BTS’ Current Activities and Future Schedule

J-Hope’s comments come on the heels of BTS’s recent comeback with their fifth full-length album, “Arirang,” released on March 20, 2026. The group likewise held a comeback live performance at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul, which garnered approximately 18.4 million real-time viewers on Netflix. BTS is currently embarking on a world tour, beginning in Seoul in April 2026, with plans to visit approximately 34 cities. ClutchPoints notes that the tour is scheduled to include performances in Melbourne, Australia, on February 12 and 13, 2027 – just days before Super Bowl 61, scheduled for February 14, 2027, in Inglewood, California.

Potential Scheduling Conflicts and Future Opportunities

The proximity of BTS’s scheduled performances in Melbourne to Super Bowl 61 presents a potential logistical challenge. However, Complex points out that artists have adjusted tour dates in the past to accommodate Super Bowl performances, citing Bad Bunny as an example. Despite the immediate scheduling conflict, the possibility remains open for BTS to headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show in future years.
