Netflix’s first NFL game gets some extra star power.
Beyonce will perform at halftime of the Houston Texans’ game against the Baltimore Ravens on Christmas Day, the streaming service announced Sunday night.
The game will be the second of two games Netflix will stream over Christmas next month. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs are scheduled to meet in their first game today. Since 1948, regular season NFL games have been played on Wednesdays.
Netflix will also air games on Christmas Day in 2025 and 2026, a day traditionally scheduled for NBA games. The service launched a new one, starting with broadcasting boxing matches between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul at home.
BeyoncĂ© is a huge boon to the NFL and Netflix for a number of reasons. The Houston native will be performing at NRG Stadium in Texas, which will provide some great holiday moments for fans in attendance. She’s also set to release her record-breaking “Cowboy Carter” album, which earned her 11 Grammy nominations earlier this month. This is the highest amount BeyoncĂ© has received for a solo album in her career.
BeyoncĂ© has also performed at the Super Bowl twice during her career. She headlined Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans in 2013. BeyoncĂ© also appeared with Coldplay and Bruno Mars at Super Bowl 50 at Levi’s Stadium in California.
This gig will certainly be shorter than her last two games in the NFL world, but considering the limited minutes she will receive in regular season games compared to the Super Bowl, the NFL will certainly go all in on the first Christmas Day. effort.
