Burna Boy to headline NFL Paris Game halftime show

Nigerian Afrobeats artist Burna Boy has been announced as the headline performer for the halftime show of the NFL Paris Game. The event is scheduled for Sunday, October 25, at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis.

The game marks the NFL’s first regular-season fixture in France and will feature a matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New Orleans Saints. The announcement is part of the NFL’s 2026 International Games programme, which includes seven halftime shows across four continents.

Burna Boy previously performed at the Stade de France in April 2025, becoming the first African artist to headline a solo concert at the venue before an audience of approximately 80,000. The singer expressed that performing at the NFL event provides a significant opportunity to represent African music on a major international platform.
