Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, will headline the halftime show at the NFL Paris Game on Oct. 25 at the Stade de France.
The Afrobeats star will perform during the regular-season clash between the Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints.
The National Football League (NFL) announced Burna Boy’s performance on its official website, describing him as a “global headliner” and confirming the Paris fixture as part of its 2026 International Games.
The halftime show is being presented by American Express as part of its partnership with the NFL for halftime performances across the league’s 2026 International Games.
According to the NFL, the Paris performance will be one of seven halftime shows staged across the International Games, which will take place in seven countries across four continents. Burna Boy also shared the NFL’s announcement on his official Instagram account.
In a statement released by the league, the singer said performing at the Stade de France again would hold special significance for him.
“Paris gave me one of the biggest nights of my career, and to walk back into Stade de France for a moment like this means everything,” he said.
He added that the NFL’s first regular-season game in France would give him an opportunity to showcase African music on a global platform.
Burna Boy, known for hit songs including “On the Low” and “Ye,” has built an international reputation through his music, albums, collaborations and performances. The NFL Paris Game will mark the league’s first regular-season game in France.
