U2 to Headline Halftime Show at NFL's First-Ever Thanksgiving Eve Game

The NFL has announced that U2 will headline the halftime show for the league’s first-ever Thanksgiving Eve game, live from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, on Nov. 25, during the Los Angeles Rams-Green Bay Packers game. Jesse Collins Entertainment will produce U2’s halftime show.

U2’s Thanksgiving Eve set follows one of the most memorable moments in Super Bowl history: the band’s Super Bowl XXXVI halftime show in February 2002. Nearly a quarter-century later, U2 returns to a Rams home game — this time streaming to Netflix members worldwide.

“There’s a reason U2 has headlined stadiums for decades: they don’t just perform; they deliver iconic moments audiences remember forever,” said Ted Sarandos, co-CEO of Netflix. “We’re thrilled that they’ll bring that same magic to the NFL stage on Netflix. It’s going to be an unforgettable night for football fans and Netflix members worldwide.”

U2’s performance continues a tradition of marquee halftime entertainment on Netflix’s NFL broadcasts. Netflix’s first Christmas Gameday in 2024 featured international superstar Beyoncé at halftime of the Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans game, in the four-time Emmy-nominated Beyoncé Bowl. Last year, Snoop Dogg brought Snoop’s Holiday Halftime Party to the Detroit Lions vs. Minnesota Vikings Christmas Day game.
