Burna Boy To Take Center Stage At 2026 NFL Halftime In Paris

The first-ever NFL regular-season game in France will feature a halftime performance by Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy, according to the organizers.

On Sunday, October 25, the Grammy winner will play at the Stade de France during the 2026 NFL Paris Game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New Orleans Saints.

Burna Boy, whose blend of Afrobeat, reggae, and dancehall has catapulted him to international fame, has reached yet another significant milestone.

Burna Boy has become one of Africa’s most successful musical exports, with nine entries on the Billboard Hot 100, including his 2026 FIFA World Cup anthem “Dai Dai” with Shakira, which topped Billboard’s Global Charts and recently surpassed one billion YouTube views.

L’Équipe will broadcast a delayed telecast of the October match, while France Télévisions and beIN Sports will broadcast it live in France.

With a record nine games planned outside of the US this season, the game is a part of the NFL’s largest international push to date.

For the first time, regular-season games will be held in Paris, Melbourne, and Rio de Janeiro.

The start time is 9:30 a.m. ET (2:30 p.m. CEST).

We are incredibly proud of you, Burna Boy. Keep being true to yourself and continue making us proud with your talent and dedication. Your journey inspires us all, and we can’t wait to see what you achieve next. Keep shining and stay authentic!
