Charlie Puth, the multiplatinum-selling pop star known for “See You Again,” “One Call Away” and other hits, will perform the national anthem at Super Bowl XL at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara on Feb. 8.
The announcement was made by the NFL on Sunday.
Puth, a New Jersey native who has been nominated for a number of Grammy Awards, follows in the footsteps of such previous Super Bowl national anthem singers as Billy Joel, Jennifer Hudson, Carrie Underwood, Alicia Keys, Idina Menzel, Reba McEntire and Chris Stapleton.
Lady Gaga performed the anthem at Super Bowl X in 2016, which was the last time the NFL’s championship game was held at Levi’s Stadium.
The timing of this Super Bowl spotlight works out quite well for 32-year-old Puth, who is set to release a new album — dubbed “Whatever’s Clever” — in 2026. It’s his first new studio album since 2022’s “Charlie.”
The NFL has also announced the performers for the other two big vocal showcases that happen just before the game: the singing of “America the Beautiful” and “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”
Singer-songwriter Brandi Carlilie, an 11-time Grammy winner who mixes folk, country, rock and other sounds in her songs, will sing “America the Beautiful.” (Carlile will later return to the Bay Area to perform a big show at Chase Center in San Francisco on March 6.

Coco Jones, the Grammy-winning R&B artist who released the debut album “Why Not More?” earlier this year, will perform “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” a song that is known as the Black national anthem.
