MGK will perform his recent release "Lonely Road," which incorporates elements of John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads" - a song that has gained surprising popularity among German NFL fans. The performance acknowledges this unique cultural connection, with NFL director Tim Tubito expressing excitement about featuring "one of the most dynamic talents in music today."

The game and halftime show will broadcast exclusively on NFL Network at 6:30 AM PT, with MGK's performance to be shared on social media platforms later that day.

This performance is part of the NFL's expanding international presence and growing focus on music entertainment. The league plans to increase its international games to eight in 2025, including a new venue in Madrid, Spain. These games are separate from club-operated events like the Jacksonville Jaguars' regular appearance at London's Wembley Stadium.

The NFL's focus on music entertainment now extends beyond just the Super Bowl Halftime Show, with initiatives like Amazon Music Live providing post-game concerts following Thursday Night Football broadcasts.
