Burna Boy Set to Headline 2026 NFL Halftime Show in Paris
Nigerian Afrobeats star Burna Boy is set to headline the 2026 NFL halftime show in Paris, marking his return to the Stade de France for the second time. This performance comes after he made history as the first African musician to headline a solo concert at the stadium in April 2025.
The game, which will feature the New Orleans Saints and the Pittsburgh Steelers, is part of the NFL's first regular-season fixture in France. The event was presented by American Express and will kick off at 2:30 p.m. CEST (9:30 a.m. ET) on October 25.
This performance will cement Burna Boy's status as one of Africa's most popular musicians, with his unique blend of Afrobeats and hip-hop appealing to fans worldwide. The Stade de France has been a hub for international entertainment, hosting some of the biggest names in music, including Burna Boy.
