Squarespace
No stranger to Super Bowls, website-building platform Squarespace will advertise in its 12th Big Game. Often celebrity-backed, Squarespace’s current plans are being kept under wraps so we’ll have to wait until gameday to see whether any famous faces front the creative.
OpenAI
Following its 2024 debut, OpenAI is planning a return to once again communicate about AI’s capabilities.
Anheuser-Busch
AB InBev, the NFL’s official beer sponsor of more than 20 years, is back with three brands from its portfolio: Budweiser, Bud Light and Michelob ULTRA.
According to AB InBev’s press announcement, Budweiser will deliver a spot showcasing its ‘longstanding legacy in American culture’ as part of its “Made of America” campaign. In 2026, Budweiser will mark its 150th anniversary and release a limited-edition Heritage Can Series pack ahead of the Big Game.
Bud Light will once again return for the Big Game with creative honoring the beer keg and its central role at every Super Bowl party. Previously, singer Post Malone has appeared in the brand’s creative. With concert event ‘Bud Light Presents Post Malone & Buddies’ taking place in San Francisco on Feb. 6, it tees Malone up for yet another feature.
Last but certainly not least, considering the brand landed at #1 in System1’s 2024 Super Bowl ad rankings, Michelob ULTRA will continue to lean into its focus on sport with new creative for gameday. America’s #1 top-selling and fastest-growing beer has previously rolled out creative focused on soccer, leveraging Lionel Messi, as well as pickleball, with Willem Dafoe and Catherine O’Hara. With the Super Bowl and the Winter Olympics intersecting this year, it’s a perfect opportunity for Michelob ULTRA to celebrate competition and sportsmanship.
Uber Eats
The food delivery app will show up along competitors DoorDash and Instacart. This football season, the brand has leveraged actor Bradley Cooper to continue its campaign around football being a conspiracy to sell food. Previously, the brand engaged with Matthew McConaughey for a Super Bowl ad tied into the same platform.
Raisin Bran
WK Kellogg Co.’s Raisin Bran will make its Super Bowl debut this year, with creative developed in partnership with VaynerMedia.
Eos
Beauty and personal care brand Eos has committed to its second consecutive Super Bowl ad, which will air in most regional markets.

Hellmann’s
The best teams are the longstanding ones, like Unilever-owned Hellmann’s and VML.

Super Bowl LX marks the mayo brand’s sixth consecutive appearance, and we’re looking forward to seeing the touchdown-worthy creative that this dream team produces.
Ritz
The Super Bowl and snacks are synonymous, so perhaps it’s no surprise that Ritz is back in the Big Game for its third consecutive year. The Martin Agency will support, with a 30-second spot airing in the third quarter.

NERDS
It’s sweet to be Ferrara’s NERDS, which will appear in its third straight Super Bowl. Previous creative promoted the brand’s standout innnovation, Gummy Clusters, with some serious star power: Addison Rae in 2024 and Shaboozey in 2025.
Novartis
Novartis is back in the Big Game for a second year, working with Publicis Groupe’s Fallon on its creative. Its 2025 debut focused on breast cancer screening and awareness thanks to a few celebrity spokespersons: Wanda Sykes and Hailee Steinfeld.

Sazerac, which owns more than 450 liquor brands, including Fireball Whisky, has confirmed it will debut its first Super Bowl ad. The parent company has since noted that Svedka will be in the spotlight on February 8.
Captain Morgan
Captain Morgan is giving contestants of On Brand with Jimmy Fallon a shot at a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity – the October 14th episode tasked the contestants with creating a “loud, shareable, stunt-y video” and tagline for the Super Bowl. It’s a similar approach to Doritos‘ fan contest, which has resulted in entertaining and effective Big Game spots.
