How long will Beyoncé's NFL halftime performance be?

Multiple unconfirmed reports about the length of Beyoncé's halftime show have circulated over the past two weeks and there is still no clear answer on exactly how long the performance will be.

We do know that it will not be 20 minutes as Beyoncé's publicist Yvette Noel-Schure has already shut down that rumour.

Latest reports suggest it will be 9 minutes long, with others speculating it could stretch to 12-13 minutes which is the typical length for an NFL halftime.

Beyoncé's 2013 Super Bowl halftime show lasted around 12 minutes and included 9 songs, with a special appearance from Destiny's Child's Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.

What songs will Beyoncé perform during the NFL halftime show on Netflix?

As always with Beyoncé, details about her setlist have been kept underwraps with zero leaks making their way onto social media. However, we do know that it's gonna be a big Cowboy Carter-centric celebration.

Promotion for Beyoncé's halftime show (which will take place in her hometown of Houston, Texas) has focused heavily on the Cowboy Carter aesthetic with Bey dubbing the show 'A Cowboy Carter Christmas' on Instagram.

Of course, her chart-topping smash 'Texas Hold 'Em' will no doubt be a key part of the performance. 'Bodyguard' and 'YA YA', which was used to introduce Team USA at the Olympics earlier this year, have also been tipped to be on the setlist.

Will Beyoncé have any special guests for the halftime show?

Netflix has teased that some special guests will join Beyoncé on stage in Houston during her halftime show – but we don't know who just yet.

Cowboy Carter features a whole host of incredible collaborators including country legends Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton and Linda Martell, rising country stars Shaboozey, Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy and Reyna Roberts, and superstars Miley Cyrus and Post Malone.

We'll have to wait and see what surprises Beyoncé has got up her sleeve...

Where can you watch Beyoncé's Halftime show?

Netflix will be broadcasting the Ravens vs. Texans game live on the streaming platform. If you have a Netflix subscription, the game will be free to watch.

Beyoncé's halftime show will also be included in the broadcast, so even if you just want to tune in to see her perform, you can do so on your Netflix subscription.

The game will also be broadcast on TV locally for both home and away teams, and it will also be available to stream on mobile with an NFL+ subscription, available through the NFL mobile app.

Per Netflix's agreement with the NFL, the Ravens vs. Texans game will expire three hours after the live event ends. Beyoncé's performance will only be available to rewatch within those three hours before it is removed from Netflix.
