The anticipation for Beyoncé‘s performance at the NFL Christmas Day Ravens vs. Texans matchup is at its peak! She will take center stage during the halftime show at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, which also happens to be her hometown. Fans are eagerly waiting for her appearance, poised to be the first live performance since March 2024. Back in March, she released Cowboy Carter, and it was a top-chart album on the Billboard list.

Ahead of her performance, a major point of contention arose as fans speculated about the performance time. Some are suggesting that it will run for 20 minutes. And, given that halftime is slotted for 12-15 minutes, it will exceed the timestamp for the same. But, how authentic is the claim regarding a more than 15-minute performance? It is time for a fact check.

Will Beyoncé perform for more than 15 minutes?

Beyoncé, the global icon, will be back to Texas again with her fiery performance at halftime of the Ravens-Texans game. And, the matchup will begin at 4:30 p.m. ET. So, it is likely that the performance will begin at 6 p.m. or 6:15 pm ET. It may fluctuate depending on how the game is proceeding. But, amidst this, one of the fan accounts is claiming that her halftime performance will last 20 minutes.

Instead of this statement, Beyoncé’s publicist, Yvette Noel-Schure, was quick to refute it. On Dec. 12, she stated, “Untrue. Her performance will not be 20 minutes.” She did not reveal the exact duration but is likely to be according to the traditional allocated time. But, it will be a powerhouse performance, nonetheless. Even previously, with her performances at Super Bowl 50 (2016) and Super Bowl XLVII (2013), she aligned with the standard timings.

Beyoncé releases a teaser of her halftime performance

The Christmas Day matchup featuring Beyoncé’s harmony during halftime is almost here! And, Beyoncé herself has piqued the excitement of the fans as she addressed them in a 30-second teaser video on her YT channel. Dazzling in white, she channeled her energy while wearing a cowboy hat. Lighting up a cactus-shaped Christmas tree, the title card in her video reads, “HALFTIME SHOW: THIS CHRISTMAS HOUSTON, TX.”

The NFL’s partnership with Netflix has come as a pleasant surprise for fans this Christmas, who are all set for the games scheduled at 1:00 PM ET and 4:30 PM ET. And, undoubtedly, Beyoncé’s performance is likely to draw more viewership. The NFL is also going to stream through local channels for online viewing.
