One of the most anticipated events in January is to find out which universities will compete in the NCAA final, where only one institution will be able to call itself national champion. In 2025, the Ohio State Buckeyes will face the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium will be the venue where the next NCAA champion will be crowned, in an event comparable to the NFL’s Super Bowl.
This leads to inevitable comparisons and many fans wonder if there is a halftime show like in the NFL’s most anticipated game, where artists such as Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney, Madonna, The Rolling Stones have paraded, and for 2025 the chosen one to liven up the big game will be Kendrick Lamar.

Is there a halftime show at the NCAA Final?
Unlike the Super Bowl, in the NCAA football final there are no artists to liven up the halftime show, although there is entertainment.
Celebrating a college football tradition, the marching bands of each participating team will be featured performers on the field during pregame and at halftime, while the cheerleading groups are in charge of exciting the crowd with choreographed numbers.
Pregame, halftime and postgame pageantry inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium will be produced by Michael T. Fiur Productions.
The only opportunity to see this show is to watch the game in the stadium, as it is often not broadcast by the network in charge of broadcasting, which is ESPN.
Where there is a celebrity who takes part in the game is in the interpretation of the national anthem of the United States.

The highlight of the pregame festivities will be Coco Jones’ performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Known for her soulful voice and chart-topping hits like “ICU,” the 27-year-old singer-songwriter from Nashville has become a force in the music industry.
