Dave Chappelle is turning Super Bowl weekend into a comedy event in its own right, bringing a special arena stand-up show to San Francisco's Chase Center on Feb. 7, 2026. The 51-year-old comedian is dropping into the Bay Area just as it loads up on concerts, parties and the NFL's biggest night, and organizers are already warning that it will be a phone-free performance with heavy demand for seats.
As reported by the San Francisco Chronicle, Chappelle is booked for Chase Center on Feb. 7, with tickets scheduled to go on sale at noon Friday, Dec. 19 through Ticketmaster. The Chronicle notes that the show is sliding into an already packed slate of headline events around the region as the Super Bowl pulls in a large national crowd.
Phone-Free Show With Yondr Pouches
The Chase Center date will be a strictly enforced phone-free event. Guests will be required to place phones and smart devices into Yondr pouches for the duration of the performance, so no mid-set selfies or sneaky recording. Ticketmaster explains that Yondr pouches let audience members keep their devices on them in a locked case, with unlocking stations in designated phone zones. Yondr offers additional detail on how the system works for live shows.
Super Bowl Week Noise
Chappelle's set lands the night before the Apple Music Super Bowl LX halftime show, which the NFL announced will be headlined by Bad Bunny on Feb. 8. With the halftime spectacle, hospitality packages and a string of private concerts scattered around the Bay Area, visitors and locals alike should brace for packed crowds, busy transit and tight hotel inventory all weekend.
Chappelle's Track Record
The Recording Academy lists Chappelle as a six-time Grammy winner, according to GRAMMY.com, and he was honored with the Kennedy Center’s Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, as reported by The Washington Post. At the same time, his recent specials have sparked protests and workplace walkouts at Netflix and fueled a wider debate over the boundaries of comedy, as documented by the Los Angeles Times.
Ticketing And Tips
Tickets are slated to go on sale at noon Friday, Dec. 19 via Ticketmaster, per the San Francisco Chronicle. With Super Bowl-week demand, fans should be ready for a quick sell-out and elevated resale prices. If you are planning to try for seats, sign up for official presales where available, have your payment details locked in ahead of time and read up on the arena's phone-free rules so you are not fumbling with your device at the door.
