Beyonce will be performing the NFL Christmas Day halftime show live on Netflix, however streamers won’t have the luxury of re-watching the show in perpetuity.
The streamer will be airing both of the NFL’s Christmas Day 2024 games after obtaining the global rights to the seasonal match-up, beginning with the Kansas City Chiefs taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers at 1PM ET and then the Baltimore Ravens vs Houston Texans game at 4:30PM ET.
Beyonce, 43, will be performing during the Baltimore Ravens-Houston Texans halftime, set to take place in her hometown of Houston at the NRG Stadium.
However viewers will only have a limited amount of time to re-watch the experience.
Variety reports that both NFL shows will only be available for viewing in the U.S. on Netflix three hours after the games end, as part of the streamer’s agreement with the football organization.
This includes Beyonce’s halftime performance, which – along with the games – will only be available for streaming until approximately 11pm ET.

Netflix streamers outside of the United States will have more time to replay the games.
As part of the agreement, the games will be available for streaming outside of the U.S. for 24 hours after the livestream concludes.
Viewers will have to sit through ads throughout the livestream, including those signed up for no-advertisement plans.
The show is set to mark the first time Beyonce will perform songs from her latest album, Cowboy Carter, live.
Beyonce, who has performed at two Super Bowls in her career, is set to have several ‘special guests’ from her Cowboy Carter album join her on stage, Netflix previously said.
The upcoming performance comes in the wake of a lawsuit accusing Beyonce’s husband Jay-Z and disgraced rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs of raping a 13-year-old girl at an MTV Video Music Awards after-party in New York in 2000. Jay-Z strenuously denied the allegations, and a lawyer for Diddy, who is currently awaiting trial and behind bars on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution, also denied the accusations.
Beyoncé is reportedly slated to follow through with her upcoming stadium world tour amid her husband’s lawsuit.
On Monday, a source close to the Texas Hold Em’ singer told The Sun that she is slated to announce her next run of shows in a matter of weeks — and they say it will kick off in Los Angeles in March.
The insider revealed: ‘It’s been a very tough few months for Beyoncé but she’s laser focused on making her upcoming tour a success.

‘The next few weeks are crucial as she will announce a new album and a new tour. The announcement was supposed to happen a couple of weeks ago but it was pushed back,’ the source continued.
They added, ‘Despite Jay-Z being resolute in his denials and that the allegations are totally false, people are aware mud can stick.’
‘Online chatter has claimed Beyoncé and Jay-Z have lost their power couple status, but Beyoncé is ready to remind the world why she’s one of the best,’ the source claimed.
Teasing Beyoncé’s forthcoming album and world tour, the insider told the outlet that the project is slated to be unique and her most extravagant set of concerts to date.
‘The tour she’s planning is nothing short of spectacular, as is the album,’ they said.

The outlet also revealed that the mother-of-three will be making a stop at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in North London as a part of her new tour. She previously preformed at the stadium as a part of her 2023 Renaissance Tour.
Fans have speculated that the Single Ladies songstress will drop major hints about her upcoming tour and album during the NFL’s Christmas Day half-time show in her hometown of Houston, Texas.
Just weeks ago, 55-year-old Jay-Z fired back at the rape allegation, diminishing it as ‘idiotic’ in a statement.
In a subsequent post shared to X (formerly Twitter), the rapper detailed how the allegation will affect not only his career, but standing as a father. In response, he said he would have to sit down his children — Blue Ivy, 12, and twins Rumi and Sir, seven — to formally explain the matter.
‘My wife and I will have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims, and explain the cruelty and greed of people,’ he claimed. ‘I mourn yet another loss of innocence.
‘Children should not have to endure such at their young age,’ he continued. ‘It is unfair to have to try to understand inexplicable degrees of malice meant to destroy families and human spirit.
The upcoming performance comes in the wake of allegations that Beyonce’s husband Jay-Z and disgraced rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs raped a 13-year-old girl at an MTV Video Music Awards after-party in New York in 2000.

‘My heart and support goes out to true victims in the world, who have to watch how their life story is dressed in costume for profitability by this ambulance chaser in a cheap suit,’ Jay-Z wrote in the lengthy statement.
Beyoncé’s forthcoming record will be her ninth studio album.
The singer last hit the stage in October of 2023 to wrap her highly successful Renaissance World Tour at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.
The tour kicked off in May 2023 in Stockholm, Sweden, and featured 56 stops across North America, Europe and other spots across the globe.
Beyoncé has yet to officially confirm the release of another record and tour.
