Burna Boy, the Grammy Award-winning artist, will headline the 2026 NFL Paris Game halftime show on Oct. 25 at Stade de France. Burna’s performance will soundtrack the halftime break during the showdown between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New Orleans Saints. Ticket information for the 2026 NFL Paris Game is available at nfl.com/paris.

The Paris performance will be part of a record seven halftime shows staged across the 2026 NFL International Games, a lineup of live musical performances spanning seven countries and four continents, as the league plays its most international games ever in a single season.

“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,” Burna Boy said in a press release. “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 first NFL game in France deserves a halftime moment that matches the occasion, and there is no artist better suited to it than Burna Boy,” said Tim Tubito, senior director of global game presentation, music and entertainment at the NFL. “Paris is one of the great cultural capitals of the world, and African music sits right at the heart of what the city listens to. Burna Boy has already made history in this stadium, and bringing him back to perform in front of a global audience gives us the chance to create something genuinely memorable. We look forward to collaborating with him on a performance that captures the energy that matches the moment.”

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 supported by the French Ministry of Sports.
