Fans of Beyoncé can watch her special NFL halftime performance on Netflix on Christmas after the game, but only for a little while.
If you happen to miss the live concert performance by Beyoncé during halftime of the Baltimore Ravens-Houston Texans game on Christmas Day, you can still catch it on Netflix – but you’ll only have a few hours to check the replay. The superstar singer is set to bring down the house in her native Houston at NRG Stadium, where the second of two NFL matchups on the holiday will begin at 4 P.M. EST. The first game will feature the defending Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers at 1 P.M. EST.
The halftime show and the Ravens-Texans game will be available for rewatch along with the Chiefs-Steelers game for up to three hours after the live stream ends – making it an 11 P.M. EST cut-off, according to the contractual agreement Netflix has with the NFL. For viewers outside of the United States, the performance and games will disappear from the platform 24 hours after the live stream concludes. For viewers in the local markets for each team, they’ll be able to watch on their local networks.
As usual, there haven’t been many advance details provided about the set that Beyoncé is going to perform, but Netflix has confirmed that there will be “special guests” joining her to perform tracks from her latest release, Cowboy Carter. This will be Beyoncé’s third venture with the NFL – she was the halftime performer in New Orleans at the 2013 Super Bowl, which included a Destiny’s Child reunion, and sang “Formation” with Coldplay’s Chris Martin at their 2016 Super Bowl performance.
Netflix’s continuing foray into airing live sporting events took a major step when they announced they would host the games earlier this year. Their pregame coverage will be streamed live from their studios in Los Angeles, California, and at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh beginning at 11 A.M. EST, and will also feature a recorded performance by Mariah Carey who will sing her hit “All I Want For Christmas” that will be aired before both games.
