NFL halftime show in Paris

The halftime show is set for the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, occurring during a matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New Orleans Saints. This engagement marks a significant return for Burna Boy, who previously made history as the first African artist to sell out the 80,000-seat stadium for a solo concert. The event is part of the NFL's largest international schedule to date, featuring nine games across four continents.

Local audiences in France can watch the full performance live on France Télévisions and beIN Sports, while international viewers can tune in via the NFL Network. The game is scheduled to kick off at 2:30 p.m. CEST. The NFL chose the Afrobeats star to represent the cultural heart of Paris, where African music remains a dominant influence on the local scene.

This Paris debut is one of seven international halftime shows produced by the league for the 2026 season. Other stops in the global series include Melbourne, London, and Mexico City, featuring various high-profile musical acts. Burna Boy's appearance follows his previous high-profile sports performances at the UEFA Champions League Final and the NBA All-Star Game.
