Super Bowl 2026 Ads Bring Beef From 50 Cent, a Hairy Manscaped Ballad and More
For those of you who thought you’d need to wait until gameday for all the Super Bowl LX ads, you thought wrong. And while we still have a couple of days’ wait for the Seahawks vs. Patriots matchup, there are plenty of commercials out now. Still, when you turn on your TV (or phone) this Sunday and lay out your food spread, be ready for more companies to crank out their campaigns.
We’ve gathered a small roundup for you — including those featuring artificial intelligence. While some of these are full-length commercials meant to make you laugh, feel inspired or question what’s creepy, some are short teasers that will pique your curiosity (hey there, Jigglypuff). We expect more movie trailers to drop, too (a new Michael trailer is out, but it’s not officially dubbed a big game tease), so stay tuned.
Get into Ken (without Barbie), 50 Cent, Southwest Airlines and much more, and stick with us through Sunday night for even more Big Game ad reveals.

DoorDash and 50 Cent’s ‘beef’
Follow 50 Cent on Instagram, and at any moment, you’ll catch him trolling some of his famous peers — mostly to their detriment. This DoorDash gameday ad makes fun of his reputation for beefing with people (with a slick joke about Diddy), while he schools us on the “art of delivering beef.” Take notes.

Anthropic throws shade at AI competition

We’ve seen polar bears working as mascots for years for one particular cola brand, but Pepsi’s blind taste test for this bear has it feeling disloyal.
Super freaky Svedka Vodka
Vodka brand Svedka has used robots in its ads before, but the company hits a couple of firsts with this commercial, which is soundtracked by Rick James’ Super Freak.

Pokemon’s big anniversary
Who’s hitting the big 3-0? Pokemon! In honor of the franchise turning 30, the company is dropping a new Super Bowl ad to jumpstart a year-long celebration. Jigglypuff is the only star in this teaser, but don’t be surprised if you catch more Pokemon in Sunday’s full ad.

Squarespace doesn’t want you to lose it

Too salty to party with Ritz?
This spot transports viewers to Ritz Island, but this isn’t a reference to the popular reality franchise, Love Island (as far as we can tell).
