“Panthers football has been part of my life since I was a kid, so I’ve always played Madden — and I still do, even on tour,” said Luke Combs. “When EA SPORTS invited me to play Madden Bowl at the biggest football event in the world — the Super Bowl — it was an easy yes. I can’t wait, and I’m still hoping my Panthers are there, too.”

“The Bay Area is my home, and performing at Madden Bowl while the Super Bowl is right here means everything to me,” said LaRussell. “This city runs on innovation, grit and soul — the same things that help football and music connect with people worldwide.”

“With Super Bowl LX happening right next to our global headquarters, this year really feels like a home game,” said John Reseburg, Vice President of Marketing, Partnership and Communications at EA SPORTS. “This will be our biggest presence yet, and Madden Bowl sits at the center — a celebration of the fans, athletes, creators and music shaping football culture.”

Beyond the concert: EA SPORTS’ Super Bowl LX footprint

EA SPORTS outlines a wider schedule across the week. The company plans an official media welcome party, the annual Madden NFL Super Bowl prediction, and live esports featuring top Madden NFL 26 players. Additional creator- and athlete-led content is slated for Super Bowl LX Opening Night, NFL Honors and the NFL media center. According to the publisher, these touchpoints are designed to bring fans closer to Super Bowl week’s key moments.
