Beyoncé to headline halftime of ravens-Texans Christmas day game on Netflix
This Christmas, get ready for a holiday spectacle with a twist: Beyoncé, the reigning queen of pop, will perform during halftime of the Baltimore Ravens-Houston Texans game on Christmas Day—streaming live on Netflix.The streaming service dropped the news late Sunday, confirming that the Houston native will bring her powerhouse vocals to the screen. While Netflix kept performance details under wraps, fans can expect a star-studded show likely tied to her latest album Cowboy Carter, which has already earned her a whopping 11 Grammy nominations. With her unmatched stage presence, Beyoncé’s halftime show promises to be an unforgettable part of this holiday game day.
Netflix’s Bold Move into Live Sports Netflix is clearly doubling down on its sports and live programming ambitions. The Ravens-Texans game isn’t the only football event streaming on Christmas Day. Earlier in the day, Netflix will also air the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Pittsburgh Steelers game, setting the stage for a massive NFL spectacle. With two huge matchups and Beyoncé in the mix, this is one of Netflix's most high-profile ventures into live events to date. The NFL games add even more excitement to Netflix's expanding sports portfolio, which recently included a controversial live-streamed boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul. The event was plagued with streaming issues, leading to at least 85,000 viewers complaining about buffering glitches on Down Detector. Still, this Christmas, Netflix is hoping to deliver a smoother experience as it hosts back-to-back game day celebrations. Taylor Swift , Beyoncé, and a Football Christmas Of course, the NFL matchup itself isn’t the only reason to tune in. Taylor Swift, who has become a regular fixture at Kansas City Chiefs games thanks to her relationship with tight end Travis Kelce, might also make a Christmas cameo. With her Eras Tour wrapping up by the holiday season, she could be cheering on Kelce in person, further adding to the star power surrounding Netflix’s NFL coverage. Whether you’re tuning in for the football or for the performance, Netflix’s Christmas Day game is set to be a major draw. Beyoncé’s halftime performance will bring her back to the spotlight after a few years away from the big stage. The superstar previously performed at two Super Bowls , in 2013 and 2016, both of which were widely celebrated as some of the best halftime shows in recent history. If history is any indicator, this Christmas performance will be no different—an epic blend of football, entertainment, and holiday cheer. A Superstar-Centric Game Day With Beyoncé and potentially Swift headlining this unique Christmas Day event, Netflix is positioning this game as more than just a sporting event—it’s an entertainment extravaganza. Whether you're a die-hard football fan or just in it for the star-studded halftime show, this is the kind of game day that promises something for everyone. So, mark your calendars: the Ravens-Texans game on Netflix promises to be a blend of touchdowns, dazzling performances, and festive cheer, all under the bright lights of streaming’s newest sports platform.
