Burna Boy to Headline Halftime Show at 2026 NFL Paris Game

Nigerian Afrobeats singer Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has been announced as the headline performer for the halftime show at the 2026 NFL Paris Game.

The Grammy Award-winning artist will perform during the game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints on Sunday, October 25, at the Stade de France in Paris.

The game will be the first regular-season NFL fixture to be played in France, marking another expansion of the league’s international programme.

The NFL said the Paris game is part of its most extensive international season, with regular-season fixtures being staged across several countries.

Burna Boy’s performance will also mark his return to the Stade de France, where he made history in 2025 as the first African artist to headline a concert at the stadium.

The singer has also performed on other major international stages this year, including the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where he featured in the tournament’s first-ever final halftime show.

Other artists announced for NFL international halftime performances this season include Ayra Starr at the London Game, Ricky Martin and Pedro Sampaio in Rio de Janeiro, Cage The Elephant in Munich and the Jonas Brothers in Melbourne.

The NFL Paris Game will kick off at 2:30 p.m. local time at the Stade de France, with Burna Boy’s halftime performance forming part of the league’s entertainment programme for the event.

The NFL said further details on entertainment and fan activities surrounding the Paris game would be announced later.
