Burna Boy continues to make giant strides on some of the world’s biggest stages, and this is yet another one to add to the list. The Grammy-winning singer headlined the NFL halftime show at the Stade de France on Sunday, October 25, 2026, during the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. New Orleans Saints match (the NFL’s first-ever regular-season game played in France).
The global star delivered an electrifying show, performing hits including including “Ye,” “On The Low,” “Last Last,” and “4 Kampé II” (with French-Haitian singer Joé Dwèt Filé and French singer Yseult)
Adding to this historic moment, Ayra Starr’s performance at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Burna Boy’s headline performance at the NFL halftime show mark another milestone for Nigerian music. They are currently the only two Nigerian artists to headline an NFL halftime show.
From the 2026 FIFA World Cup to the UCL Final and now the NFL, Burna Boy continues to take Nigerian music to some of the world’s biggest sporting stages, further cementing his place as one of Africa’s biggest musical exports.
Following his NFL debut, the singer is also set to headline Rolling Loud India, adding another major international festival to his growing list of global appearances.
