NFL 2026: Burna Boy to headline the halftime show in Paris

Burna Boy will add a new prestigious date to his schedule. The Nigerian singer will perform at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis during the regular season NFL game between the New Orleans Saints and the Pittsburgh Steelers, scheduled for October 25, 2026. This performance will mark another notable appearance by the artist at the venue in the Île-de-France region. In April 2025, Burna Boy became the first African artist to hold a solo concert there, marking a significant milestone in the history of African music in France.

This time, the Nigerian will return to the pitch of the Stade de France in a completely different context, that of the major event of American football. His performance will enliven the traditional halftime ceremony in front of the spectators who have come to witness this unprecedented matchup. The game between the Saints and the Steelers also carries a historical significance for the NFL. It will indeed be the first regular season game of the American league played on French soil.
