Jonas Brothers to Headline NFL Halftime Show

The Jonas Brothers will headline the halftime show at the 2026 NFL Melbourne Game between the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams on Friday, September 11 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The game will kick off at 10:35 a.m. local time and will air live on Netflix in the U.S. on Thursday, September 10 at 8:35 p.m. ET.

The Jonas Brothers have sold more than 20 million albums and will be part of the entertainment lineup for the league's international schedule this season. The NFL will play games in seven countries across four continents this season, with the Melbourne game being the first-ever regular season game in Australia.

The game itself carries plenty of intrigue beyond the entertainment, with the Rams and 49ers being longtime NFC West rivals. The Rams are taking a distinctly different approach to the travel, opting to fly into Melbourne just one day before kickoff and depart immediately after the final whistle, while the 49ers are arriving a full week early to acclimate.

The Jonas Brothers said they are excited to perform at halftime during the NFL's first-ever regular season game in Australia. The event marks a historic moment for the NFL and features the band's biggest hits and global appeal.

## Why it matters The NFL's decision to play games in seven countries across four continents this season is a significant expansion of the league's international schedule. The Melbourne game is a key part of this effort, and the inclusion of the Jonas Brothers as halftime performers is expected to draw a large audience. The game and halftime show will be broadcast live on Netflix, providing a unique opportunity for fans around the world to watch the event.

The Jonas Brothers' performance is also a significant moment for the band, who have been touring and performing for many years. With over 20 million albums sold, they have a large and dedicated fan base, and their inclusion in the halftime show is expected to be a major draw for the event.
