Burna Boy, the Nigerian GRAMMY-winning artist, will headline the halftime show during the regular-season game to be played in Paris on October 25, 2026 at Stade de France. The game pits the Pittsburgh Steelers against the New Orleans Saints and is set to kick off at 14:30 CEST (9:30 a.m. ET).

According to the NFL, Burna Boy’s performance will be part of a record series of seven halftime shows to be held during the 2026 international games, spread across seven countries and four continents. Burna Boy is known as one of the leading voices of Afrofusion music who has brought Nigerian sounds to the biggest stages; he has been nominated 13 times for the GRAMMY awards, was the first African artist to perform on the main GRAMMY ceremony broadcast and, in April 2025, became the first African artist to headline a show at Stade de France.

The Paris event will be the first regular-season game played in France and is organized with the support of local partners, including GL events, as well as the backing of the French Ministry of Sports. The full halftime performance will air live in France on France Télévisions and beIN Sports, while L’Équipe will show the game later in the evening.

The NFL announcement also included the names of other artists scheduled for the 2026 season’s halftime shows, including the Jonas Brothers in Melbourne, Pedro Sampaio and Ricky Martin in Rio de Janeiro, Ayra Starr in London, Cage The Elephant in Munich and The Warning in Mexico City.
