If you’re worried about missing Beyoncé’s highly anticipated halftime performance during the Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans game, don’t fret—Netflix has you covered. On Christmas Day, the iconic “Break My Soul” singer will grace the stage during one of the NFL’s biggest events of the season, broadcasting live from NRG Stadium in Houston. But, if you can’t tune in live, you’ll have a limited window to rewatch the performance—here’s everything you need to know.
Beyoncé’s Christmas Day performance, which is set to take place during the Ravens-Texans halftime show at 4:30 p.m. ET, will be available to stream exclusively on Netflix. Fans who miss the show live can rewatch it, but only for a short time. According to Variety, Netflix’s deal with the NFL means the performance will be available to stream for just three hours after the game concludes in the United States. So, if you’re planning to catch Queen Bey’s performance, you’ll want to make sure to check it out before 11 p.m. ET, when it will be taken down.
For viewers outside of the U.S., there’s a little more flexibility, as Netflix will keep the game and performance available for 24 hours after the live broadcast ends. But even with this extra window, fans around the world will want to act quickly to catch Beyoncé in action.
This particular halftime show will hold special meaning for Beyoncé, who is returning to her home state of Texas for the performance. The 43-year-old superstar is set to perform songs from her critically acclaimed, Grammy-nominated album Cowboy Carter, including some tracks live for the first time. Fans are eagerly awaiting her performance, which is expected to showcase her incredible vocal range, high-energy choreography, and, of course, her signature stage presence.
While the halftime performance is already a major event on its own, it’s just the cherry on top of the NFL’s unique Christmas Day offering. This marks the first time Netflix will host an NFL Christmas Gameday event, and Beyoncé’s show will be the second of two football games on the holiday. Earlier that day, the Kansas City Chiefs will take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in a 1 p.m. ET matchup. Afterward, at 4:30 p.m. ET, the Ravens-Texans game will kick off, with Beyoncé’s halftime set taking center stage.
For those who are wondering how Beyoncé’s Christmas performance compares to her other football showstoppers, it’s worth noting that Queen Bey is no stranger to performing at major football events. Back in 2013, she headlined the Super Bowl Halftime Show in New Orleans, where she thrilled audiences with a Destiny’s Child reunion featuring Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams. But that wasn’t the end of her football performance legacy. In 2016, Beyoncé made a surprise appearance during Coldplay’s Super Bowl 50 halftime performance, where she performed her anthem “Formation.” She was also joined by Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson for the iconic moment that became a defining part of Super Bowl history.
With decades of experience commanding the stage at such high-profile events, Beyoncé’s upcoming performance at the Ravens-Texans game promises to be just as iconic. Fans can expect her to bring all of the flair and energy that she’s known for, making it one of the most talked-about halftime shows of the year.
For football and Beyoncé fans alike, December 25 is shaping up to be a day full of thrills. Whether you’re planning to watch the game live or stream Beyoncé’s halftime show afterward, you’ll want to make sure you don’t miss out on what is sure to be an unforgettable performance.
With Netflix hosting this exciting event, it also marks a new chapter for the streamer, as it expands its sports programming by offering NFL games and performances on Christmas Day. It’s a unique moment for both Netflix and the NFL, making this an even more special occasion for fans to witness Beyoncé in all her glory.
