Trump confirms he will not attend Super Bowl because of music acts: 'I'm anti-them' [View all]

Source: The Independent

Saturday 24 January 2026 10:41 EST

President Donald Trump said he will skip this year’s Super Bowl, using the decision to sharply criticize the NFL’s choice of entertainers, opening act Green Day and halftime performer Bad Bunny, both of whom have publicly opposed the president’s agenda.

In an Oval Office interview with the New York Post published Saturday, Trump, 79, called the lineup “a terrible choice” for the February showdown in San Francisco.

“I’m anti-them. I think it’s a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible,” Trump said.

Trump added, however, that the performers themselves are not the reason he plans to skip the game, citing travel concerns instead. “It’s just too far away. I would. I’ve gotten great hands for the Super Bowl, they like me,” Trump said. “I would go if, you know, it was a little bit shorter.”
