U2 will provide the halftime entertainment when the Rams host the Packers on November 25, Netflix announced. The matchup at SoFi Stadium will be the NFL’s first game played on Thanksgiving Eve.
The appearance will bring the band back to a football field after its halftime performance at Super Bowl XXXVI in New Orleans in 2002. Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos welcomed the booking, citing U2’s decades of stadium performances.
Netflix’s NFL coverage has included Christmas games during the past two seasons, with Beyonce and Snoop Dogg among the halftime performers. The streaming service is also scheduled to broadcast two games on Christmas this year.
