This Christmas, Netflix is offering a special treat for NFL fans, streaming two exciting Christmas Day games. As part of the festivities, pop superstar Beyoncé will take center stage for a halftime performance during the game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans. Fans can look forward to this highly anticipated performance, which will be available for a limited time.
NFL Christmas Day Games: Limited-Time Rewatch Opportunity
For those who can't catch Beyoncé’s halftime show live, there’s good news. U.S. viewers will be able to rewatch the NFL Christmas games for three hours after they end, while international fans will have a 24-hour window. According to Variety, the deal between Netflix and the NFL includes two key matchups: the Kansas City Chiefs vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens vs. the Houston Texans. The game replays will be available to global audiences for 24 hours, but U.S. viewers will only have three hours to rewatch the action.
Advertisements During the Stream
While Netflix is known for its ad-free subscriptions, viewers of these NFL games will experience some interruptions, even if they have a “no breaks” plan. The NFL has announced that advertisements will be included during the broadcast, which may come as a surprise to those expecting an uninterrupted experience.
Beyoncé’s Halftime Performance
Beyoncé’s performance is set to be a highlight of the NFL Christmas Day games. She is expected to perform hits from her widely popular album *Cowboy Carter*. Variety has also reported speculation that Beyoncé might bring out some special guest artists during her performance, with rumors suggesting Miley Cyrus and Post Malone could make an appearance. These two artists were featured on *Cowboy Carter*, though no official confirmation has been given.
Lamar Jackson and Other Fans Eager for the Performance
It’s not just fans who are excited about Beyoncé’s halftime show; players are also looking forward to it. Lamar Jackson, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, recently shared his excitement about the performance, admitting he’s never seen Beyoncé live. Jackson jokingly told reporters that he would be skipping the locker room during halftime to attend Beyoncé’s concert. "It’s dope," Jackson said, expressing disbelief that the legendary performer would be performing during his team's game against the Houston Texans. "I can't believe she’s performing for us."
Beyoncé’s History with the NFL
This won’t be Beyoncé’s first time performing at an NFL event. The singer previously headlined the Super Bowl halftime show in 2013 and made another appearance in 2016, when she performed her hit song "Formation." During the 2016 Super Bowl, however, Beyoncé was not the main headliner, as Coldplay took center stage.
Game Schedule and Details
The NFL Christmas Day action kicks off with the Kansas City Chiefs facing the Pittsburgh Steelers at 1:00 p.m. ET, followed by the Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans at 4:30 p.m. ET. Fans can enjoy the games, the exciting halftime performance, and the festive atmosphere all day long.
With the combination of high-stakes football and a world-class musical performance by Beyoncé, this Christmas Day promises to be an unforgettable event for NFL and music fans alike.
