U2 is scheduled to headline the halftime show during Netflix’s Thanksgiving Eve NFL broadcast featuring the Green Bay Packers against the Los Angeles Rams. Multiple outlets report the performance is set for later this year and will be streamed as part of Netflix’s game coverage.
Several sources connect the announcement to U2’s prior NFL halftime appearance in 2002, when the band performed at Super Bowl XXXVI. Deadline and other outlets emphasize that this marks U2’s first return to an NFL field since that Super Bowl. One outlet notes the 2002 event also involved the Rams, highlighting the matchup connection.
Coverage largely aligns on the core details: the teams (Packers vs. Rams), Netflix’s involvement, and the location (SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles). Differences are mostly in the depth of historical context and which specific game details each outlet chooses to foreground, rather than in contradicting facts.
