Beyoncé to Perform at Halftime of Texans-Ravens Christmas NFL Game
Beyoncé is heading home for the holidays, but she’ll celebrate Christmas a little differently than the rest of us.
The music superstar will perform at the halftime show for the NFL’s Houston Texans-Baltimore Ravens match-up, streaming exclusively on Netflix on Christmas Day, the streamer announced Monday.

According to Netflix, the details of Beyoncé’s halftime performance are under wraps, but she is “expected to feature some special guests” who appear on her recent Cowboy Carter album. (Notable possibilities include Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus, Post Malone and Shaboozey.) The show will also mark Beyoncé’s first live performance of songs from Cowboy Carter, which earned 11 Grammy Award nominations earlier this month (including Album of the Year), making it the most-nominated album by a female artist in Grammy history.
Beyoncé previously headlined the Super Bowl 47 halftime show in 2013, where she was joined by fellow Destiny’s Child alumni Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams. She later teamed up with Coldplay and Bruno Mars for the Super Bowl 50 halftime performance in 2016, which earned an average grade of “C+” from TVLine readers. (Kendrick Lamar has been tapped to headline the Super Bowl 59 halftime show, taking place Sunday, Feb. 9.)
The Christmas Day Texans-Ravens game will take place at NRG Stadium in Beyoncé’s hometown of Houston, beginning at 4:30/3:30c. It will be Netflix’s second NFL event of the day, following the Kansas City Chiefs-Pittsburgh Steelers face-off at 1 pm ET. The games will also be available to watch on broadcast TV in the cities of the competing teams, and on mobile devices via the NFL+ streaming service.
