February 3, 2026 — President Donald Trump has dropped a major announcement regarding Super Bowl 60 (Super Bowl LX). The news came after he declared he will not physically attend the game at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Donald Trump Announces Shocking Video Appearance At Super Bowl 60
According to numerous sources:
Trump may not be at the Super Bowl this year, but he will make an appearance on NBC before the big game.
NBC News announced that Donald Trump will be interviewed by anchor Tom Llamas at the White House on Wednesday. Some of their interview will be aired today, with a separate portion airing as part of NBC Sports’ Super Bowl pregame show:
“February 3, 2026 – NBC News’ Tom Llamas will sit down with President Donald Trump for a one-on-one exclusive interview at the White House tomorrow, Wednesday, February 4. A portion of the wide-ranging interview will air on NBC Nightly News with Tom Llamas at 6:30 p.m. ET/5:30 p.m. CT, and an extended version will stream on Top Story with Tom Llamas on NBC News NOW at 7 p.m. ET.
A separate segment of the interview – a Super Bowl-week tradition – will air exclusively during NBC’s Super Bowl LX Pregame Show on Sunday, February 8.”
Trump was interviewed by Bret Baier of Fox News last year before the network aired Super Bowl 59. The president of the United States traditionally does an interview as part of the Super Bowl broadcast.
Key Details from Trump’s Announcement
- Boycott Reason: Explicitly cited “too far away” and disapproval of Bad Bunny and Green Day.
- Viewing Plan: Trump says he will watch with “real patriots” at Mar-a-Lago, though no formal watch party has been confirmed.
- Patriots Endorsement: Trump reiterated his support for the New England Patriots over the Seattle Seahawks, saying “the Patriots will win anyway.”
- Broader NFL Critique: Trump tied the boycott to ongoing complaints about the league’s kickoff rule (which he called “sissy”) and perceived “woke” direction.
NFL and Super Bowl 60 Response
The NFL has not issued an official reply, but Commissioner Roger Goodell has previously emphasized the league’s focus on “football and fan experience” amid political noise. The league confirmed earlier that ICE enforcement will not occur inside Levi’s Stadium, a decision seen by some as a response to broader controversies surrounding the game.
Super Bowl 60 already faces multiple off-field storylines:
- Turning Point USA’s rival “America250 Halftime Celebration” stream
- Bans on prediction market, tobacco, and adult-content ads
- Criticism of the “gaudy” Super Bowl 60 patch and “USA 250” sleeve patch
- Bad Bunny’s public demand for Trump to “respect the people” and change his mind
Trump’s boycott and announcement add yet another political flashpoint to an event already loaded with drama.
Fan Reactions on Social Media
The news divided NFL fans across platforms:
- Trump supporters: “Smart move by Trump — no reason to support a league that disrespects America. Patriots all day!”
- Critics: “Trump boycotting the Super Bowl because he doesn’t like the performers? Grow up and let people enjoy the game.”
- Neutral takes: “Trump turning the Super Bowl into politics again. Just watch the game, man.”
- Memes: Jokes about “Trump watching from Mar-a-Lago while the rest of us enjoy the halftime show” and “Super Bowl 60: Patriots vs. Seahawks, Trump vs. Bad Bunny.”
Super Bowl 60 kicks off Sunday, February 8 at 6:30 p.m. ET on NBC. With Trump officially sitting this one out, the focus returns to the field — but the political drama is far from over.
Stay tuned for more updates on Super Bowl 60 preparations, security details, and any further statements from Trump or the NFL.
