The National Football League – NFL has announced that GRAMMY® Award-winning artist, Burna Boy will headline the halftime show during the 2026 NFL Paris Game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints on Sunday, Oct. 25 at 2:30 p.m. CST (9:30 a.m. ET) at Stade de France.
The Paris performance will be part of a record seven halftime shows staged across the 2026 NFL International as the league plays its most international games ever in a single season.
One of the defining voices of African music worldwide, Burna Boy has taken Afro-fusion from Nigeria to the biggest stages on the planet. The GRAMMY® Award-winning Nigerian artist has been nominated 13 times, was the first African artist to perform on the main GRAMMY® Awards telecast and, in April 2025, became the first African artist to headline Stade de France.
“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,” said Burna Boy. “The NFL is bringing something to France that has never happened here before, and I get to stand in the middle of it representing African music and I intend to give the people a show they will not forget.”
The 2026 NFL Paris Game, presented by American Express, will be the first regular-season NFL game played in France, staged in partnership with GL events and with the support of the French Ministry of Sports.
Burna Boy’s full halftime performance will be broadcast live in France free to air on France Télévisions and on beIN Sports, with L’Équipe broadcasting the game later the same evening.
