So far, at any rate, the live streams of Wednesday’s NFL games on Netflix appear to have gone off better than the streaming giant’s boxing match between Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson did in November. The games themselves turned out to be less competitive than the streamer was hoping for, but the halftime show by Beyoncé during the Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans game was a big hit. Initially, the show was only set to be available on-demand for a limited time after the conclusion of the game, but Netflix has announced it will put the full halftime show back in its library sometime in the next day or two.

Key Details:

• The ‘Beyoncé Bowl’ halftime show is returning to Netflix before the end of the week.
• The show featured guest performances from Post Malone, Shaboozey, Reyna Roberts, and more.
• Originally, it was intended to be available for just three hours after the end of the game.

The halftime performance from Beyoncé will be back available to stream on Netflix before the end of the week, according to a post made on the streamer’s official press website. Only the show itself will be available; the replay of the game can be streamed exclusively on NFL+, though highlight reels can still be found on Netflix.

The halftime show, which Netflix is dubbing the “Beyoncé Bowl,” saw the artist perform songs from her “Cowboy Carter” album live for the first time. That album collected 11 Grammy nominations, becoming the most-nominated album by a female artist in history.

Plenty of friends joined Beyoncé for the show, as well. Post Malone, Shaboozey, Reyna Roberts, Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, and Tiera Kennedy all shared the stage with her at times, and other special guests included Mexican Cowgirl Melanie Rivera, Bull-riding legend Myrtis Dightman, Jr. (known as the “Jackie Robinson of Rodeo”), Miss Rodeo Texas Princess 2004 and Miss Rodeo Texas 2015 Nikki Woodward, and the first Black Rodeo Queen in Arkansas Ja’Dayia Kursh.

Texas Southern University’s Ocean of Soul Marching Band — one of the best marching bands amongst all Historically Black Colleges and Universities — was also on hand to add its incredible sound and well-plotted choreography to the proceedings.

The show was originally supposed to be available for just three hours after the end of the game, but now Netflix is bringing it back to its library to stay. It joins the 2019 documentary “Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé” on the service, alongside other big-name live performances and music documentaries by artists like Ariana Grande, Olivia Rodrigo, Taylor Swift, and others on the streamer.
