Jonas Brothers set to headline historic NFL Halftime Show in Melbourne
The Jonas Brothers are heading to Melbourne for a historic NFL halftime performance. Yesterday, the NFL announced that Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas will headline the halftime show during the 2026 NFL Melbourne Game, when the San Francisco 49ers take on the Los Angeles Rams at Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Kickoff is scheduled for 8:35 p.m. ET Thursday, September 10 in the United States, or 10:35 a.m. AEST Friday, September 11, in Australia. The game and halftime performance will stream live on Netflix, with the halftime show also airing on Australia’s Seven Network.
The matchup will mark the first-ever NFL regular-season game played in Australia, making the Jonas Brothers’ performance part of a major milestone Qin the league’s international expansion.
“We couldn’t be more excited to perform at halftime during the NFL’s first-ever regular season game in Australia,” the Jonas Brothers said. The group added that performing at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground would be an “incredible honor” and that they were eager to celebrate the historic occasion with fans around the world.
The Melbourne show is also the first of seven halftime performances planned for the NFL’s 2026 International Games, spanning seven countries and four continents. The league plans to announce the remaining performers in the coming weeks.
The Jonas Brothers bring plenty of star power to the event. The Grammy-nominated trio has sold more than 20 million albums, scored 26 Billboard Hot 100 hits, achieved three consecutive No. 1 debuts on the Billboard 200 and accumulated billions of streams. The brothers recently received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The Melbourne appearance will not be their first connection to the NFL. The trio previously performed during the 2022 Thanksgiving game in Dallas and appeared at the 2023 NFL Draft in Kansas City.
The 49ers-Rams matchup is part of the NFL’s largest international schedule to date, with regular-season games also planned in London, Madrid, Mexico City, Munich, Paris and Rio de Janeiro.
