Jay-Z will perform at the Super Bowl LXI halftime show in February, the NFL announced. BBC News, the Los Angeles Times, and the New York Post reported the Monday news. The game is set for February 14 at SoFi Stadium near Los Angeles.

Jay-Z's company Roc Nation has produced the half-time show since 2019. He has helped pick each year's headliner but has not performed at the championship game before. The NFL said anticipation will now turn to which guests he might bring. The league noted his wife, Beyoncé, will be atop many fan lists.

The 25-time Grammy winner has deep ties to both the league and Los Angeles. Super Bowl LXI falls on Valentine's Day. Apple Music is again expected to present the show, though the pages focused on the performer news.

Past halftime shows have mixed legacy acts and current stars. Jay-Z selecting himself closes years of speculation. No full set list or guest slate was released with the announcement.

What we know: Jay-Z is the headliner for Super Bowl LXI at SoFi Stadium.
What we don't: Which guests will join him, and how long the set will run.
