Netflix is turning its first live football telecast into a Super Bowl-style affair by adding a music super star to the lineup. Beyoncé will perform during Netflix’s first-ever NFL Christmas Gameday Dec. 25. It will take place during the second of Netflix’s two games, as the Houston Texans host the Baltimore Ravens at NRG Stadium at 4:30 PM ET.
This performance in her hometown of Houston, Texas, produced by her company, Parkwood Entertainment and Jesse Collins Entertainment, will be the first live performance of songs from her album Cowboy Carter, which recently received 11 Grammy nominations. Artists featured on the album are expected to make appearances alongside her.
Beyoncé having performed during the halftimes at two Super Bowl games. She headlined Super Bowl XLVII on February 3, 2013, in New Orleans, Louisiana, and was joined onstage by Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, her bandmates in Destiny’s Child. For Super Bowl XV, on February 7, 2016, she joined Coldplay and Bruno Mars in Santa Clara, California.
Netflix made a two-year deal with the NFL for Christmas Gamedays in 2025 and 2026. The first game this year, Kansas City Chiefs vs. Pittsburgh Steelers, starts at 1 PM ET. Per NFL holiday tradition, the Netflix Christmas Day games will air on broadcast TV in the competing team cities and be available on U.S. mobile devices with NFL+.
