U2 headlines the NFL’s Thanksgiving Eve halftime show on November 25, 2026, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The performance is part of the first Thanksgiving Eve game in NFL history.
U2 brings the NFL halftime show to SoFi Stadium
The band will headline the halftime show during the game between the Green Bay Packers and the Los Angeles Rams. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET, with U2’s performance following during the live matchup.
U2’s November 25 announcement says Netflix announced the booking and will stream the performance to a global audience. The show will come from SoFi Stadium, the Inglewood home of the Rams, rather than from a separate concert venue.
U2 ties the Inglewood performance to Carnaval De Luz
The official U2 announcement places the halftime appearance under Carnaval De Luz, the title of the band’s current album. The same page describes Carnaval De Luz as U2’s first album of new material in nine years.
The announced performance links that album campaign with a live sports broadcast, giving the Inglewood date a musical identity beyond the game itself. It also extends the album’s presentation from recorded music into a large-scale televised event for viewers in the United States and around the world.
U2’s Dublin lineup carries the show’s band identity
U2 formed in Dublin and continues with Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. The group’s official band materials identify Bono as the vocalist, The Edge as the guitarist, Clayton as the bassist and Mullen as the drummer.
That four-member lineup places the NFL booking within U2’s established band format. The performance joins the group’s long-running stadium work with a broadcast setting built around one of America’s major professional sports leagues.
