10 Awesome Super Bowl 2026 Commercials

By:Liesel Booker

The Super Bowl broadcast always features some of the funniest, most moving, most creative commercials of the year, and the 2026 Super Bowl was no exception. There were so many amazing commercials that the entertainment factor of the ads rivals that of the game itself. Here are ten of the greatest Super Bowl 2026 commercials.

10 Awesome Super Bowl 2026 Commercials

1. State Farm – “Stop Livin’ on a Prayer”

“Halfway There” insurance only puts in half the effort, and they demonstrate that by singing a hilarious parody of Bon Jovi’s classic “Livin’ on a Prayer,” before Jake from State Farm and Jon Bon Jovi himself bring in better insurance. Since Jon Bon Jovi was also at the Super Bowl, that adds an extra bit of fun to this ad.

2. “Jurassic Park” Xfinity Alternate Ending

What if “Jurassic Park” had a different ending because Xfinity was able to get the security gates back online before any of the dinosaur attacks? Through AI, the original actors could be seen again in their prime glory. While AI may be heavily controversial, it’s hard to hate such a hilarious ad that gives “Jurassic Park” a happier ending.

3. The Backstreet Boys Sing for T-Mobile

This ad just hits 90’s kids right in the feels. The Backstreet Boys sing a parody of their hit “I Want It That Way,” to demonstrate the virtues of T-Mobile. The crowd was cheering and crying to see their idols. It’s awesome that the Backstreet Boys are still cool after all these years.

4. Budweiser Clydesdale and Eagle

    There always has to be a Super Bowl commercial that tugs at the heartstrings. In this case, a Clydesdale foal finds a baby eagle and takes it upon himself to take care of it. The foal and the eagle grow up together, until the adult Clydesdale seems to sprout wings – but it turns out to be his eagle friend, also grown up.

    5. “The Mandalorian and Grogu” Fakeout Teaser

    The first few seconds of this teaser look and sound like a Budweiser commercial. The animals galloping in the snow and the deep-voiced narrator fool you into thinking that the famous Budweiser Clydesdales are about to show up – but nope, it’s Din Djarin and baby Grogu driving “Star Wars” beasts of burden to promote the upcoming movie, “The Mandalorian and Grogu.” The bait-and-switch has you laughing out loud.

    6. Your Favorite Pokémon

    Who is your favorite Pokémon? This commercial opens with various celebrities, including Lady Gaga and Trevor Noah, discussing their favorite . . . something, but the audience doesn’t know what. Then comes the big reveal that they’re talking about Pokémon. It’s super cool to see these celebrities talk so passionately about Pokémon. 

    7. The Polar Bear Chooses Pepsi

    You know and love those polar bear Coca-Cola commercials that air during the holiday season. However, the polar bear takes a blindfolded taste test and finds that he actually prefers . . . Pepsi. How will he ever live with himself now? Well, after some therapy, he decides to embrace the Pepsi, especially when he meets a Pepsi-loving girlfriend.

    8. “Meal Diamond” Sings for Hellmanns

    This was the Super Bowl for song parodies. It begins as a boring deli scene, but then Andy Samberg unleashes his “Meal Diamond” rendition of a “Sweet Caroline” parody. The Hellmann’s mayonnaise fills the diner (and sandwiches) with life.  

    9. Alexa+ Scares Chris Hemsworth

    Admit it, we’re all a little scared of AI, even though it’s being shoved in our faces everywhere. Chris Hemsworth demonstrates that fear in this Alexa+ ad as he discusses the different ways that Alexa+ could kill him. However, when he realizes that Alexa+ can book him a massage, he warms up to the AI.

    10. Liquid Death Won’t Make Your Head Explode

    Have you ever had the misfortune of an energy drink making your head explode? Don’t worry, it’s a common phenomenon – apparently. However, Liquid Death comes with a guarantee that your head won’t explode while drinking it. That’s nice to know.

    Super Bowl Ads Are Amazing

    Quite a few people watch the Super Bowl primarily for the commercials. These ads and many others can join the plethora of memorable commercials that have debuted on Super Bowl day. Super Bowl 2027’s commercials will have a lot to live up to.
