This little Clydesdale is ready for their close-up.
Budweiser shared a sneak peek of its upcoming Super Bowl LX commercial with PEOPLE. The teaser “Foal” follows in close hoofstep with Budweiser’s first 2026 Super Bowl ad teaser, “Stable.”
In “Stable,” five horses from one of Budweiser’s iconic Clydesdale teams investigate the arrival of a mystery creature hiding in a bucket, while in “Foal,” just one horse is the star.
The new spot focuses on a baby Clydesdale, the titular “Foal,” getting used to walking confidently on its already lengthy legs.

“Foal” opens with the young horse excitedly and slightly awkwardly clambering through a stable until it reaches the structure’s open barn door. The animal peers out at the open grass that lies beyond the stable’s entrance. Then, the teaser suddenly cuts to the baby Clydesdale tearing through the field, galloping strongly across the grass they had been staring at seconds before, with no trace of the clumsiness from the beginning of the ad.
The video then cuts to a black card with the text “Look Who’s Coming.”
According to Budweiser, the foal featured in the teaser is one of the smallest Clydesdales to ever appear in a Budweiser Super Bowl commercial. The beer brand’s horses have appeared in 48 of Budweiser’s Super Bowl ads so far, with the first appearance in 1975, and “Foal” shows the animals aren’t sick of the spotlight.
Anyone who wants to keep watching “Foal” in an effort to envision what Budweiser’s final 2026 Super Bowl spot will look like can view the teaser on Budweiser’s YouTube, X, Instagram, and Facebook channels.
Fans of the Budweiser Clydesdales have the chance to meet them in person. The brand has three traveling teams of Budweiser Clydesdales, who spend approximately 300 days each year appearing in parades, sporting events, and fairs across the U.S.
Super Bowl LX will be held on Sunday, Feb. 8, 2026, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
