FCC Says No Violations in Bad Bunny Halftime Performance: Report
The Federal Communications Commission found no indecency violations in Bad Bunny's halftime show despite Republican complaints about explicit lyrics, noting edited song versions aired.
- On Feb 15, 2026, the Federal Communications Commission cleared Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime performance after reviewing complaints and found no broadcast violations on NBC.
- Earlier this week, Fine's letter to FCC Chairman Brendan Carr called the Super Bowl show "despicable" and demanded action over unperformed lyrics, prompting the FCC review.
- Broadcast versions of several tracks were edited, with explicit references removed, as three songs—Tití Me Preguntó, MONACO and Safaera—had sexual and genitalia references scrubbed for the Super Bowl broadcast.
- The FCC said it will not pursue further action absent new evidence and has shelved additional scrutiny, noting the performance was cleaned to network standards.
- Despite political backlash, the Super Bowl halftime show reached a massive audience, averaging 128.2 million viewers on NBC and generating over 4 billion social media views, with critics focusing on language and cultural tensions.
