Beyoncé to Perform Halftime Show at Christmas Day NFL Games on Netflix with Limited Replay Access
Beyoncé is set to dazzle fans with a special halftime performance during the Baltimore Ravens-Houston Texans game on December 25, streaming on Netflix. The clip promoting the event humorously referenced previous Netflix streaming glitches, as Beyoncé playfully mimed buffering during a rendition of "Texas Hold 'Em," offering a nod to past livestream troubles with events like the Mike Tyson and Jake Paul fight. Netflix, which garnered humor from acknowledged victims in the streaming cycle, wittily responded online to the tease. This is prepared by SSP.
Beyoncé's performance, marking her first live rendition of "Cowboy Carter" tracks, will unfold in her hometown at the NRG Stadium. Anticipated to be glitch-free, the event received firm backing from her mother, Tina Knowles. Fans can catch the live stream at 1 p.m. ET, with the performance available for rewatch only for three hours post-event. After the game, the Kansas City Chiefs will face the Pittsburgh Steelers at 4:30 p.m. ET.
As part of its expanding live sports offerings, Netflix has obtained the global rights to both Christmas Day NFL games. However, in accordance with Netflix's deal, the livestreams in the U.S. will expire three hours after broadcast, while international viewers have 24 hours. Viewers can still catch reruns on NFL Network and NFL+ Premium in the U.S. or through DAZN internationally.
Pregame coverage starts at 11 a.m. ET, featuring Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You." Special guests from "Cowboy Carter" are expected to join Beyoncé, with her fans excited for another noteworthy performance. Despite potential access limitations on Netflix, reruns on NFL Network are scheduled, and local broadcasts will be accessible in team's markets.
