U2 to perform at NFL Thanksgiving Eve game at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood

Netflix revealed that the Irish rock band U2 will headline the NFL's first Thanksgiving Eve game, which will be held at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The event is scheduled for November 25 and will be streamed exclusively on Netflix.

The game will feature a primetime matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and the Green Bay Packers. U2's performance is expected to be a major highlight of the event, continuing the NFL's tradition of memorable halftime shows.

This is not U2's first major NFL appearance. The band previously headlined the Super Bowl 36 halftime show in 2002, where they performed their hit "Beautiful Day" and paid tribute to 9/11 victims with songs like "MLK" and "Where the Streets Have No Name."

Ted Sarandos, co-CEO of Netflix, emphasized U2's reputation for delivering iconic stadium performances and expressed excitement about their upcoming NFL appearance. The NFL has been collaborating with Netflix to produce notable halftime shows, including recent performances by Beyoncé and Snoop Dogg.

The upcoming Thanksgiving Eve game at SoFi Stadium marks another step in the NFL's efforts to create memorable halftime entertainment beyond the Super Bowl.
