Michael Jackson’s Super Bowl XXVII halftime show is the subject of a new documentary series,“Spectacle: Michael Jackson at the Super Bowl,”coming to Hulu and ESPN in February 2027. The performance took place at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena on January 31, 1993, and it is widely regarded as one of the greatest halftime shows in Super Bowl history.
The series features never-before-seen footage along with reflections on the show’s cultural impact. That 1993 set is credited with raising the bar for star power and production value at halftime, essentially creating the blueprint that every modern Super Bowl performer has followed since. A first trailer is already out now for fans who want an early look.
The documentary arrives just ahead of Super Bowl LXI at SoFi Stadium on February 14, 2027, which will air on ABC, ESPN, and Disney+. Between the new footage and the historic broadcast, February 2027 is shaping up to be a big month for both music and football fans. Which halftime show do you think still holds the top spot?
