Cardi B will perform at Michael Rubin’s Fanatics Super Bowl party in San Francisco this weekend, extending her growing presence around Super Bowl 2026 as the New England Patriots prepare for the championship game.
The appearance comes days after Cardi B celebrated the Patriots’ AFC Championship win, cheering on her boyfriend Stefon Diggs as New England booked its place in the Super Bowl.
The Fanatics party has become one of Super Bowl week’s most visible off-field events, regularly drawing athletes, musicians and celebrities into the same space.
Patriots links
While Diggs’ attendance at the party remains uncertain, attention has turned to Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who could appear during Cardi B’s performance.
Kraft previously joined the rapper on stage at the Fanatics party in 2019. That year also marked the Patriots’ last Super Bowl appearance and victory of the Tom Brady era.
The upcoming game marks the first Super Bowl appearance of Diggs’ 11-year NFL career, adding further spotlight to a week already heavy with Patriots connections.
Moments after New England secured its place in the championship game, Cardi B summed up the moment.
“We’re going to the Super Bowl!” she said. “Oh my God!”
A familiar Super Bowl fixture
Rubin’s Fanatics event returns to the Super Bowl schedule with its usual rotating lineup of performers rather than a single headline act.
Previous editions have featured Travis Scott, Post Malone, Doja Cat, the Chainsmokers, Ice Spice, A$AP Ferg, Meek Mill, Lil Baby, Fabolous, Ludacris, Ne-Yo, The Kid LAROI, Ciara and Sexxy Red.
The party now sits alongside Fanatics’ expanding role in Super Bowl week, which stretches across apparel, events and betting partnerships.
Kendall Jenner could attend party
Jenner appears in a new Fanatics Sportsbook Super Bowl commercial that references the long-running idea of a “Kardashian Kurse,” poking fun at her dating history with professional athletes.
The campaign places Jenner firmly within Fanatics’ Super Bowl presence this week, making her attendance at the San Francisco event plausible.
Jenner also drew attention online after a flirty Instagram exchange with former partner Devin Booker.
Booker commented, “I bet a million the Seahawks get that ring before you do.” Jenner then replied, “How’s the ankle?”
Booker followed with another message, writing, “Come rub it.”
Earlier this week, Jenner appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she FaceTimed Tom Brady to ask whether she should back the Seattle Seahawks or the New England Patriots.
With Cardi B headlining the Fanatics party and multiple high-profile sports crossovers unfolding, Super Bowl week once again blends football, celebrity and spectacle in the same space.
