Giddy up! Beyoncé will bring some extra sparkle to the festive season as the halftime performer during NFL Christmas Gameday on December 25.

As fans will know, Queen Bey is no stranger to an NFL halftime show, having delivered one for the ages at the 2013 Super Bowl. She also came out and slayed during Coldplay's Super Bowl halftime show three years later. 

She's calling her latest halftime show A Cowboy Carter Christmas, so we're hoping for Bey's live debut of songs from this year's COWBOY CARTER album. Released in March, it became her fifth Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart and helped to fuel a boom year for country music in the UK.

How can you watch Beyoncé’s NFL Christmas Halftime performance?

You can watch Beyoncé's halftime show live on Netflix. Her performance will take place during the match between the Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans, which begins at 9.30pm UK time. 

How long will Beyoncé’s NFL Christmas Halftime performance last?

Typically, an NFL halftime performance lasts between 12 and 15 minutes. Though TMZ reported that the NFL had extended this to 20 minutes, especially for Queen Bey, the singer's publicist Yvette Noel-Schure quickly shut this down. "Untrue. Her performance will not be 20 minutes," she wrote on X.

Which songs will Beyoncé perform during her NFL Christmas Halftime show?

Beyoncé is keeping her setlist under lock and key as you'd expect, but this will be her first live performance since she released Cowboy Carter in March. So, it seems safe to presume that she'll sing at least a couple of songs from the country and Americana-themed record, including the smash single Texas Hold 'Em, which spent weeks at Number 1 in the UK.

Will Beyoncé bring out any special guests during her NFL Christmas Halftime show?

Once again, Queen Bey is keeping this secret, but Netflix have said she is "expected to bring along some special guests who are featured on COWBOY CARTER". This means that Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus and Post Malone are all potential guests – as are A Bar Song (Tipsy) hitmaker Shaboozey and country legend Willie Nelson. Black country trailblazer Linda Martell and singer-songwriters Brittney Spencer, Reyna Roberts, Tanner Adell and Tiera Kennedy all feature on the album, too, so they're very much in the mix.

Knowing Beyoncé, though, we won't know anything for certain until she takes to the stage. Yee-haw!
