Burna Boy performed at halftime of the NFL Paris Game on October 25, 2026, bringing Afrobeats to the Stade de France alongside French singer Yseult.
The Nigerian Grammy-winning singer delivered a high-energy set featuring some of his biggest songs, including “Ye” and “Last Last”, as the NFL staged its international matchup in Paris.
The appearance marked another major moment for Burna Boy in France, where he made history in April 2025 as the first African artist to headline and sell out the Stade de France, which has a capacity of 80,698.
His latest performance also placed an African artist at the centre of an NFL international event, extending the league’s efforts to reach audiences beyond the United States.
Burna Boy’s appearance came as Afrobeats continued to reach wider global audiences through major sporting events, international tours and collaborations with artists across different markets.
