Salesforce
Will Matthew McConaughey be back for the CRM brand? We’ll have to wait until Super Bowl Sunday to find out if Salesforce is once again leaning into star power.
Pringles
Pringles and BBDO are all set for Super Bowl snacking, with the brand’s ninth consecutive appearance in the Big Game.
Liquid I.V.
Is there a better match than football and hydration? The brand, known for its electrolyte drink mixes, will soon make its Super Bowl debut.

Dove
Unilever brand Dove will get into the game for the third consecutive year. The brand has consistently championed body positivity for young girls and women.
Hellmann’s
The best teams are the longstanding ones, like Unilever-owned Hellmann’s and VML. In fact, System1’s Compound Creativity research revealed that brands that change agencies less frequently produce better work. 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.
Homes.com
Homes.com is moving in! The brand will appear in its third consecutive Super Bowl in 2026.

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.
Ferrero North America
Ferrero North America has announced it will invest more than $100 million in the Big Game and the World Cup in 2026. The Super Bowl ad will specifically focus on Kinder Bueno, with Anomaly at the creative helm.
Grubhub
Food delivery platform Grubhub has confirmed it will air a Super Bowl ad, it’s first-ever national spot for the Big Game. Grubhub Head of Brand Marnie Kain noted that the brand’s appearance is intended to ”remind America why we are the authority in food delivery and what that means for our future.”

Sazerac
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.
