The NFL announces that the Jonas Brothers will headline the halftime show at the 2026 NFL Melbourne game featuring the San Francisco 49ers against the Los Angeles Rams. Multiple outlets report the performance will take place at Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) as part of the league’s international slate.
The game is described as the first regular-season NFL matchup in Australia, with several reports citing a September 2026 date and an Australia evening kickoff time (and corresponding U.S. broadcast times). ABC Australia and other coverage frame the matchup as a season-opening “historic” event in Melbourne, while The Athletic notes the broader context: the NFL is scheduled to play a record number of international games in 2026, beginning with the Rams–49ers matchup.
Billboard and Yahoo Sports include statements from the band expressing excitement about performing at halftime, and Deadline specifies the Jonas Brothers lineup (Nick, Joe, and Kevin) and the scheduled game date and time for the event.
