Burna Boy to headline 2026 NFL Paris Game halftime show

Nigerian singer Burna Boy is set to headline the halftime show for the 2026 NFL Paris Game at Stade de France. The event, scheduled for October 25, will feature the Pittsburgh Steelers against the New Orleans Saints and marks the first regular-season NFL game to be played in France.

This performance is part of the NFL’s expanding international program, which includes seven halftime shows across various countries in 2026. The booking follows previous milestones for the artist, including becoming the first African artist to headline Stade de France in April 2025. The game will be broadcast live in France via France Télévisions and beIN Sports.

Burna Boy’s inclusion in the international entertainment lineup follows the announcement of Ayra Starr for the NFL London game on October 11, highlighting a growing presence of African musical talent in global sporting entertainment.
