The 2026 College Football Playoff Semifinal, pitting Indiana against Oregon at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl in Atlanta, will be played on Friday. The winner will advance to the College Football Playoff Championship game, where Miami is waiting.
The showcase is a celebration of football and attracts thousands of fans. As such, just like the Super Bowl includes a halftime show, this bowl game will also feature a performance at halftime.
Let’s see who will feature in the Peach Bowl Halftime Show 2026 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Who is Performing at The Peach Bowl Halftime Show 2026 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium?
The halftime will be celebrated with a performance from the marching bands of both schools. This is in line with how halftime has been celebrated in notable Bowl games, unlike the Super Bowl, where major chart-topping acts are booked for halftime.
The Indiana University Marching Hundred (IU), founded in 1896, is expected to perform at halftime since the band has historically performed at all home football games, select away games, and special events. On the other hand, the University of Oregon Marching Band (OMB) could perform at the Peach Bowl halftime showcase.
When is The Peach Bowl?
The 2026 Peach Bowl, which will also be the College Football Playoff Semifinal, will be played on Friday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. The kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET.
Which Team is Favored To Win The Peach Bowl?
The Indiana Hoosiers, who had an unbeaten regular season followed by a win in the Big Ten championship against the Ohio State Buckeyes, are the betting favorites to beat the Oregon Ducks in the Peach Bowl semifinal. Indiana is favored to win by 3.5 points.
Indiana’s moneyline is around -175 to -200, while Oregon’s is around +145 to +150 as the underdog.
The two sides have already played earlier in the regular season. Indiana won that game 30-20. Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza completed 20 of 31 passes for 215 yards with one touchdown against one interception in the win. Running back Roman Hemby rushed for 70 yards on 19 carries, including two scores. Moreover, receiver Elijah Sarratt caught eight receptions for 121 yards and one touchdown.
