Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Burna Boy will headline the halftime show at the 2026 NFL Paris Game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints on October 25 at Stade de France.
The performance will be part of seven halftime shows that will take place during the NFL’s 2026 International Games, which will feature games in seven countries and four continents.
The News Chronicle reports that Burna Boy has continued to expand his global profile, becoming the first African artist to perform on the main Grammy Awards telecast and the first African artist to headline Stade de France in April 2025.
Burna Boy said returning to the Paris stadium for the NFL event was significant, adding that he intends to deliver a memorable performance while representing African music.
NFL senior director of global game presentation, music and entertainment, Tim Tubito, said Burna Boy was suited to the occasion and noted the influence of African music in Paris.
The 2026 Paris Game will be the first regular season NFL game played in France. Burna Boy’s halftime performance will be broadcast live in France on France Télévisions and beIN Sports.
