The game takes place on February 4, 2018, and is officially Super Bowl LII.
Timberlake’s announcement came Sunday via Twitter, in a video he created with late night host Jimmy Fallon:

This is Timberlake’s third Super Bowl performance: in 2001 he appeared as part of N*Sync along with Britney Spears and Aerosmith, and in 2004 he and Janet Jackson coined the term “wardrobe malfunction” during their performance of “Rock Your Body.”
