Ayra Starr To Headline 2026 NFL London Game Halftime Show At Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

The NFL has tapped Afrobeats singer Ayra Starr to headline the 2026 NFL London Game halftime show on Oct. 11, during the match between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Jacksonville Jaguars at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The game is scheduled to go down at 2:30 p.m. BST (9:30 a.m. ET). Starr’s London performance is a part of seven planned halftime shows, a record for a single season for the growing football league, and will be presented by American Express.

And for those who can’t make it to the game in person, Ayra Starr’s full halftime performance will be broadcast live in the UK free to air on 5 and on Sky Sports.

“I am so excited to perform at the NFL halftime show in London,” Ayra Starr said in a statement. “London is one of my favorite places in the world and to bring Starrgirl to the NFL global stage is a dream come true for me. I can’t wait to see you guys there!”

“The NFL London games are the foundation of everything we have built internationally, and the halftime show has become one of the biggest moments which makes these events so special,” said Tim Tubito, senior director of global game presentation, music and entertainment at the NFL. “London is one of the most influential music cities in the world, and African music has been at the center of that conversation for years now. Ayra Starr is a generational talent with a real connection to fans in this market, and building on the halftime shows we have staged in London in recent seasons, she is the right artist to carry that momentum forward. We look forward to collaborating with her on a performance that captures the energy that matches the moment.”

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will host two regular-season games on consecutive Sundays in October for the 2026/27 season.
