Beyoncé has confirmed she’ll headline the NFL’s Christmas Day half-time show, marking a major highlight of the festive season.
The superstar is set to perform as the Houston Texans face off against the Baltimore Ravens, one of two highly anticipated games scheduled for December 25. The other matchup features the Kansas City Chiefs taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers, with both games available for streaming on Netflix.
This performance will be Beyoncé’s first time showcasing tracks from her latest album, Cowboy Carter, which debuted in March after she teased it during February’s Super Bowl. Fans were treated to the singles Texas Hold ’Em and 16 Carriages immediately following her Super Bowl appearance.
A bold venture into country music, Cowboy Carter includes collaborations with Miley Cyrus and Post Malone and is part of a planned trilogy that began with Renaissance.
The album has been nominated for Album of the Year at the 2025 Grammys, where Beyoncé has also secured 10 other nominations, including Best Country Album and Song of the Year for Texas Hold ’Em.
Beyoncé broke the news on her social media with a captivating image of herself catching a football while standing on a vintage car adorned with roses, wearing her iconic cowboy hat.
Netflix hinted at surprises for the event, suggesting the star might bring a few collaborators from her latest album to join her on stage.
This isn’t Beyoncé’s first half-time performance. She headlined the Super Bowl in 2013 and made a memorable appearance with Coldplay and Bruno Mars in 2016, a performance that remains the most-watched half-time show in history.
