Nigerian Afrobeats star Burna Boy will headline the halftime show when the New Orleans Saints face the Pittsburgh Steelers in the NFL's first regular-season game in France on October 25. The fixture will be played at the Stade de France in Paris as part of the NFL's expanding international programme. Paris is one of three cities hosting its first regular-season NFL game this season, alongside Melbourne and Rio de Janeiro. Burna Boy, whose real name is Damini Ogulu, returns to the venue less than 18 months after becoming the first African artist to headline a solo concert there before a sold-out crowd of more than 80,000 in April 2025.
