Mystery Animal Captures Clydesdale Horses’ Attention in Budweiser Super Bowl Teaser (Exclusive) 

The Budweiser Clydesdales are out in the barn preparing for their spot in the big game, so you know the Super Bowl is near.

PEOPLE has an exclusive look at the first teaser for Budweiser’s Super Bowl LX ad, which also celebrates the beer brand’s 150th anniversary.

The teaser, called ‘Stable,’ features five of Budweiser’s iconic Clydesdale horses, marking their 48th national Super Bowl commercial appearance. According to the brand, the average male Budweiser Clydesdale stands approximately 6 feet tall at its withers and weighs roughly 2,000 lbs. 

The clip opens with the five horses standing together; their heads then turn in unison toward the same direction. The camera cuts to an unknown creature moving beneath a small metal bucket, which has captured the Clydesdales’ attention. The mystery animal under the bucket causes the vessel to shake and clang.

The teaser ends without revealing what’s underneath the pail, instead the spot cuts to a black screen with the text “Heads Will Turn,” hinting that a new character may join the horses.

Budweiser isn’t ready to reveal who is under the bucket yet, and says fans will have to stay tuned to see what new Budweiser Super Bowl icon will be joining the brand’s famous horses for Super Bowl 2026.

Animal lovers who want to keep watching “Stable” to make guesses about what could be under the bucket can view the teaser on Budweiser’s YouTube, X, Instagram, and Facebook channels.

According to Budweiser, the Budweiser Clydesdales made their first Super Bowl commercial appearance in 1975. Their most recent Super Bowl commercial appearance before the “Stable” teaser was in 2025, with “First Delivery,” an ad featuring a young Clydesdale making their first Budweiser keg delivery.
