Beyoncé will perform the first live renditions of her Cowboy Carter album during halftime of the Houston Texans vs. Baltimore Ravens game on Netflix this Christmas Day. The performance will take place at NRG Stadium in Houston, Beyoncé's hometown.

The historic broadcast marks Netflix's first NFL Christmas Gameday, featuring two games:

• Kansas City Chiefs vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (1 PM ET)
• Houston Texans vs. Baltimore Ravens (4:30 PM ET)

The games will also be available on local broadcast TV in team cities and through NFL+ on mobile devices.

Beyoncé enters this performance as the most-nominated artist at the 2025 Grammy Awards, with 11 nominations across multiple categories including Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year for her country music debut.

This isn't Beyoncé's first NFL performance - she previously headlined two Super Bowl halftime shows:

• Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans (featuring a Destiny's Child reunion)
• Super Bowl 50 in the Bay Area (appearing alongside Coldplay)

The Christmas Day performance comes as her husband Jay-Z serves as head of music and entertainment programming at the NFL, providing a strategic platform to showcase her country music debut ahead of the Grammy Awards.
