Fans are abuzz with excitement as Beyoncé takes center stage for a special x` performance during the Houston Texans vs. Baltimore Ravens Christmas Day game. With Netflix hosting its first-ever NFL Christmas Gameday, the event is shaping up to be a monumental moment blending music, sports, and holiday festivities.
Here’s what to know about Beyoncé’s performance, her NFL ties, and Netflix’s debut in live sports.
Beyoncé will perform during the halftime show of the Houston Texans vs. Baltimore Ravens game on Christmas Day, Netflix announced on Sunday.
The performance will take place during the second game of the day, which begins at 4:30 p.m. ET at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. This highly anticipated event will be available to Netflix’s 283 million global members, marking the streaming service’s debut in live NFL game broadcasts. The performance will feature songs from Beyoncé’s album Cowboy Carter, marking their first live renditions outside the studio.
Netflix hinted that Beyoncé’s halftime show might include special guests from her album. The album features collaborations with Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Miley Cyrus, Post Malone, and Shaboozey. Specific details about the performance remain a mystery.
Beyoncé shared a teaser video on her social media accounts, showing her in a leather dress and cowgirl-themed attire. The clip, set to her song “Ameriican Requiem,” features a rose-covered Cadillac and Beyoncé catching a football, building excitement for the event.
This halftime performance adds to the pop icon’s history of iconic football appearances. She previously headlined the 2013 Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans and joined Coldplay and Bruno Mars at the 2016 Super Bowl in Santa Clara, California. Both events were widely celebrated and drew massive audiences.
Netflix also announced it will stream the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Pittsburgh Steelers game earlier on Christmas Day. The streaming service, partnering with the NFL through 2026, aims to make NFL Christmas games a tradition.
