Burna Boy has already made history in this stadium, and bringing him back to perform in front of a global audience gives us the chance to create something genuinely memorable. We look forward to collaborating with him on a performance that captures the energy that matches the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n The 2026 NFL Paris Game, presented by American Express, will be the first regular-season NFL game played in France, staged in partnership with GL events and with the support of the French Ministry of Sports.<\/p>\n Burna Boy\u2019s full halftime performance will be broadcast live in France free to air on France T\u00e9l\u00e9visions and on beIN Sports, with L\u2019\u00c9quipe broadcasting the game later the same evening.<\/p>\n The league is committed to growing the game at every level across the country, engaging with fans year-round through partners, programs and initiatives.
