While the players of the Texans and the Ravens go to battle on December 25, there will be a very familiar face taking to the field at halftime.
Christmas Day is shaping up to be more than just football and family traditions this year. The NFL is serving up not only two exciting matchups but also an unforgettable halftime spectacle featuring none other than Beyoncé. If you’re wondering how to catch her performance live, keep reading – we’ve got all the details, plus a few surprises Beyoncé might have in store, although some gaps for more remain.
The NFL Christmas lineup kicks off with the Kansas City Chiefs taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers, but it’s the second game of the day that has a certain group of fans buzzing. The Baltimore Ravens will face the Houston Texans in a game that’s not just about touchdowns – it’s also about Queen Bey taking the stage for a halftime show. And where better for her to perform than Houston, her hometown? This promises to be more than a performance... it’s a homecoming. And if you’re not in the stadium, there’s one service you’ll want to have turned on.
Catch Beyoncé‘s halftime show on Netflix
For the first time, Netflix is stepping into the sports streaming world, broadcasting the Texans-Ravens matchup and Beyoncé‘s halftime show live at 4:30 p.m. ET/ 1:30 p.m. PT. The game, and her performance, will be accessible to viewers in over 190 countries, making it a truly global event. Hans Schroeder, the NFL’s executive VP of media, called it “a groundbreaking partnership,” as he rubbed his hands with glee.
What songs will Beyoncé perform?
Beyoncé hasn’t revealed much about her setlist, which is expected to last around 15 minutes, but speculation is swirling around her latest release, Cowboy Carter. The album, a bold move into country music, has been a hit with fans and critics alike. Songs like Texas Hold ‘Em and 16 Carriages are rumored to make the cut. Dubbed “A Cowboy Carter Christmas,” the show could also see the debut of other tracks from the album.
Will Beyoncé have special guests?
As with all things Beyoncé, details about guest appearances are tightly guarded. However, whispers from Netflix suggest the show might feature collaborators from Cowboy Carter. Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus, Willie Nelson, and even Post Malone are on the speculative guest list. Country trailblazers like Linda Martell and emerging stars like Brittney Spencer could also join her.
