U2 is officially the halftime entertainment for the NFL’s first-ever Thanksgiving Eve game. The band will perform when the Green Bay Packers take on the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium on Wednesday, November 25th. The game streams live on Netflix at 8:00 p.m. ET / 5:00 p.m. PT, so the long holiday weekend now comes with a built-in pregame show.
The performance lands at the perfect moment for the band. U2’s new album, Carnaval De Luz, arrives November 13th, giving fans twelve days with the new record before the halftime set. After that, the band launches“The Greatest Show on Earth”world tour in 2027, making this halftime slot a preview of what’s ahead.
The halftime headlines don’t stop there, either. JAY-Z is reportedly set to headline the Super Bowl, which means this football season is stacked with legendary acts. Bookmark November 25th and get your Netflix watch party ready.
