Report: NFL to Extend Halftime for Beyoncé's Christmas Day Performance
The Ravens-Texans game will feature a performance by Beyoncé.
The NFL is giving Beyoncé fans a gift on Christmas.
The superstar singer-songwriter will perform during the halftime intermission of the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens game, as announced by TMZ Sports.
Beyoncé will not receive a full Super Bowl halftime show, but she will be given approximately 20 minutes to perform.
During a typical halftime, the duration is approximately 12-15 minutes, while for the Super Bowl, it can extend to 25 minutes.
On Christmas, Netflix is streaming two NFL games: the Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers at 1 p.m. ET and the Ravens-Texans at 4:30 p.m. ET.
The two games are the first ever streaming exclusively on Netflix.
The upcoming games on Netflix will face significant pressure to ensure smooth streaming after many viewers encountered difficulties watching the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson fight in November.
According to TMZ, Ronald "Blue" Denton, a resident of Florida, filed a lawsuit against Netflix, alleging "breach of contract" due to persistent technical issues during the fight.
Netflix acknowledged the issues users had streaming in a statement following the fight.
Netflix executive Elizabeth Stone stated that the unprecedented scale of the launch presented many technical challenges, which the launch team effectively addressed by prioritizing the stability of the stream for the majority of viewers.
"Although we acknowledge the negative feedback and understand the need for improvement, we still view this event as a significant accomplishment."
The most-streamed sporting event ever, according to Netflix, was the Paul-Tyson fight, which attracted 108 million viewers.
If Netflix fails to resolve their buffering problems before Christmas, both NFL fans and the "BeyHive" will be disappointed.
