Paris, France, Running Africa –Burna Boy’s NFL halftime show brought Afrobeats to Paris on Sunday, as the Nigerian superstar headlined the league’s first regular-season game in France at the Stade de France.

The Paris show is part of the NFL’s record international entertainment program in 2026, which features seven halftime shows across seven countries and four continents.

Burna Boy is not the only African artist on the lineup. Ayra Starr performed at the NFL London Game earlier this month.
