Beyonce halftime show live updates, reviews on 2024 NFL ...

The NFL is once again taking over Christmas Day in 2024. Despite the holiday falling on a Wednesday this year, football fans still have plenty to watch feature two AFC matchups during the day. 

The first game will see the Steelers hosting the Chiefs, with the second seeing the Ravens going on the road to take on the Texans. Both games will be on Netflix, and will be just the third and fourth times the NFL has played games on a Wednesday. 

Music icon Beyonce is performing the halftime show during the Ravens vs. Texans, titled "A Cowboy Carter Christmas." This is a reference to the musician's latest album "Cowboy Carter."

Beyonce will likely play a song or two from the album, while possibly mixing in some Christmas classics. And with the game taking place in her hometown of Houston, it's expected to be a holiday spectacle to remember.

Sporting News is tracking live updates and reviews from Beyonce's NFL halftime show during Ravens vs. Texans on Christmas. Follow for complete highlights from Netflix's "A Cowboy Carter Christmas."

All times ET.

4:18 p.m. -- The first game is wrapped and now all eyes are on the upcoming Beyonce concert, I mean the Ravens-Texans game. Definitely the game. 

There was a time on the pre-game show that suggested the second game will kickoff closer to 4:35, so this one may start a little late. 

How to watch Beyonce's NFL Christmas halftime show

• TV channel: N/A (only in local markets Houston, Baltimore)
• Live stream: Netflix

The main way to catch Beyonce's halftime performance will be by tuning in on Netflix. The only exception to this is if you live in Houston or Baltimore and the game will air on your local CBS affiliate.

Beyonce halftime show start time

• 6 p.m. ET/ 5 p.m. CT (approximate)

We don't know when Beyonce's halftime show will begin. The Ravens vs. Texans game is scheduled to kick off at 4:30 p.m. ET, and Beyonce's show will begin at halftime of that game. Expect it to start approximately 6 p.m. ET.

The NFL may choose to delay kickoff for the second game slightly to ensure viewers are able to go from watching the end of one, to the start of another. 

Baltimore and Houston both rely on their run games on offense. When this happens, the game tends to speed up. Because we can't predict exactly when the show will begin, you will likely want to tune in during the second quarter, or around 5:30 p.m. ET to ensure you don't miss it. 

How long is the NFL Christmas halftime show?

We don't officially know. Typically, NFL halftimes run 12 to 14 minutes. The Super Bowl halftime show is a spectacle and is given 20 to 25 minutes to run. TMZ reported that Beyonce would be given an extended halftime show, but then her publicist said that the artists will not be playing for 20 minutes.

Our best guess is that with stage setup, the performance and stage breakdown is that the entire halftime has been given a 20 minute window. We expect Beyonce will perform for about 12-15 minutes, similar to the NFL halftime shows on Thanksgiving.
