Beyoncé halftime show: How much do NFL performers usually get paid?

Beyoncé’s last two halftime show performances came during the Super Bowl, this time she’ll headline a Christmas Day game.

WASHINGTON — Beyoncé will be performing live in Houston at halftime of the Ravens-Texans game on Christmas Day streaming on Netflix.

Many viewers are eagerly anticipating Beyoncé’s performance, rumored to last approximately nine minutes. Netflix has even nicknamed it the #BeyonceBowl on social platforms, marking a significant moment for the streaming service as they venture into airing NFL games for the first time.

How many halftime shows has Beyoncé done?

Beyoncé is no stranger to halftime show performances. She headlined the 2013 Super Bowl halftime show and joined Coldplay’s Super Bowl set three years later. 

And you may be surprised to learn she did both of those performances basically for free. That’s because the Super Bowl halftime show performers don’t really get paid by the NFL to perform. The league instead covers the expenses, which can reach into the millions of dollars, to put on what’s arguably one of the most-watched performances of the year. 

How much is Beyoncé getting paid for halftime performance on Netflix? 

It’s unclear exactly how much Beyoncé may be getting paid for her halftime show performance on Christmas Day. Because it’s not the Super Bowl, things are a little different than her last two halftime shows. 

There is one report that claims Beyoncé’s Christmas halftime show performance could be part of the three-project Netflix deal she signed with the streaming giant in 2019 for roughly $60 million. The first offering from that deal was 2019’s Homecoming, which documented her Coachella performance. The AndScape report suggests that if this is the second “project,” that would mean she’s getting “$20M specifically for this performance.” 

Naturally, neither side is sharing publicly how much (if anything) Queen Bey is getting paid. 

Who is the Super Bowl 2025 halftime show? 

Kendrick Lamar will be headlining the Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show in New Orleans in 2025. 

The NFL, Apple Music and Roc Nation announced back in September that Lamar would lead the halftime festivities from the Caesars Superdome on Feb. 9. The rap megastar, who has won 17 Grammys, said he’s looking forward to bringing hip-hop to the NFL’s championship game, where he performed as a guest artist with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent and Eminem in 2022.
