Burna Boy brought Afrobeats to the NFL’s historic game in France, delivering a high-energy halftime performance at Stade de France on Sunday, October 25, 2026, as the Pittsburgh Steelers faced the New Orleans Saints.
The Nigerian superstar treated the crowd to a selection of his biggest songs, including ‘Ye’, ‘On The Low’ and ‘Last Last’, turning the halftime break into a showcase of his internationally recognised catalogue.
Burna Boy opened his set with ‘4 Kampe II’, his collaboration with French-Haitian singer Joe Dwet File, before moving into familiar hits that have helped establish his global music career.
The performance combined his signature Afrofusion sound with an energetic stage presence, bringing Nigerian music to the spotlight during one of the NFL’s major international sporting events.
The game itself ended with the Steelers defeating the Saints 16–10, giving the matchup a memorable sporting finish alongside the musical entertainment.
Burna Boy’s appearance also added another chapter to his growing relationship with France, where he has continued to build his live-performance profile.
In April 2025, the Grammy-winning artist headlined a solo concert at Stade de France. That milestone further strengthened his reputation as an African performer capable of commanding audiences at major international venues.
His NFL halftime appearance now places his music within another high-profile sporting setting, connecting Afrobeats with American football in front of an international audience.
With songs such as ‘Last Last’ and ‘Ye’ continuing to form part of his live repertoire, Burna Boy’s performance highlighted the global reach of his catalogue and the growing visibility of African music on major entertainment stages.
The appearance was another opportunity for the Nigerian star to bring his sound to a wider audience, this time during the NFL’s landmark visit to France.
