It’s official: Beyoncé is set to bring her iconic energy to the NFL stage once again!
The 43-year-old superstar will headline the halftime show for Netflix’s special Christmas Day NFL game, held in her hometown of Houston, Texas. Taking the stage at NRG Stadium, Beyoncé’s performance will be a celebration of her latest album, Cowboy Carter. Even more exciting? This marks her first-ever live performance of songs from the record.
The announcement dropped late Sunday night (November 17), with Beyoncé sharing the news via Instagram. The video teaser featured her track “AMERIICAN REQUIEM” as the backdrop, instantly sending fans into a frenzy of speculation about what she has in store.
The halftime show is being produced by Beyoncé’s own company, Parkwood Entertainment, in collaboration with Jesse Collins Entertainment, promising a spectacle of epic proportions. While details are still under wraps, whispers of special guest appearances have fans buzzing. Given that Cowboy Carter features several collaborations, many are wondering who might join her on stage for this historic performance.
The Christmas Day game will see the Baltimore Ravens face off against the Houston Texans, kicking off at 4:30 PM ET. With Beyoncé performing in the heart of her hometown, the halftime show is bound to be an electrifying moment for fans and football lovers alike.
This isn’t Beyoncé’s first time wowing audiences during a major football event. She famously headlined the Super Bowl XLVII halftime show in 2013, delivering a jaw-dropping performance that included a reunion with Destiny’s Child. In 2016, she returned to the Super Bowl stage alongside Coldplay and Bruno Mars, stealing the spotlight with her politically charged hit “Formation.”
As if this announcement wasn’t enough to keep the Beyhive buzzing, Beyoncé is also making waves in the music world. She recently earned 11 nominations for the 2025 Grammys, solidifying her status as the most-nominated artist in Grammy history. With this latest accolade and her return to live NFL performances, Queen Bey continues to dominate the cultural landscape.
Mark your calendars for December 25th, and get ready to witness Beyoncé light up the NFL stage like only she can. Houston, she’s home—and the world will be watching!
