Ayra Starr is set to perform at halftime when the Philadelphia Eagles meet the Jacksonville Jaguars in London on Oct. 11, giving the NFL London Game a first that cuts across music and sport. The Nigerian Afrobeats singer-songwriter and BET Award-winner will take the stage at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium during the league’s second London game of the 2026-27 season.
The matchup kicks off at 9:30 a.m. ET, 6:30 a.m. PT and 2:30 p.m. BST, with Starr’s performance expected around 11 a.m. ET, 8 a.m. PT and 3 p.m. BST. For readers searching the London halftime show NFL details, the game will air on NFL Network and stream on Unlimited.
Her booking is historic. Starr is the first Afrobeat artist and the first Nigerian to headline an NFL halftime show, a milestone that arrives as the league keeps widening its international footprint. Regular-season games have been staged in Rio, Mexico City, Melbourne, Berlin and Dublin, and London remains the most familiar stop in that run.
That wider reach also explains why the broadcast matters as much as the performance. Viewers can watch the game through NFL Network, and the live window is where the halftime show sits; it is not being offered as a separate free stream in the information released around the matchup. Free-trial options are tied to the game broadcast itself, not to a standalone halftime package.
So the next point of interest is simple: whether Starr’s set becomes one of the defining moments of the London game. For now, the confirmed schedule leaves no doubt about when it happens, where it happens and why it has drawn attention beyond the usual NFL audience.
