The NFC West clash between the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers will serve as the first-ever regular season NFL game to take place in Australia. Kick-off is set for 8:35 p.m. ET (10:35 a.m. AEST, Sept. 11) at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, and the match-up will broadcast exclusively on Netflix.
“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 in a statement. “Playing at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground in front of such passionate Australian fans is an incredible honor. We can’t wait to be part of this historic moment and celebrate with everyone in the stadium and watching around the world.”
In addition to Netflix, the entire halftime show performance will be broadcast live in Australia on Seven Network.
Australian fans can celebrate the league’s return with the NFL Kickoff Festival slated for Sept. 10 through Sept. 12 at Melbourne Park, where a watch party will be hosted for the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots Super Bowl rematch.
“Bringing the first-ever NFL regular season game to Australia is a landmark moment for the league, and we are committed to creating an entertainment experience that reflects the scale and significance of the occasion,” said Tim Tubito, who serves as the senior director of global game presentation and entertainment at the NFL. “The Jonas Brothers are global entertainers whose music connects across generations, making them the ideal artists to help us celebrate this historic game in Melbourne. We look forward to delivering a memorable halftime performance for our fans in Australia and those watching around the world.”
It’s not the first NFL halftime show from the Jonas Brothers: The New Jersey natives previously performed on Thanksgiving in 2022 in Dallas when the Cowboys defeated the New York Giants. The Grammy-nominated siblings also performed during the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft in Kansas City.
Next week, the Jonas Brothers will wrap up their Jonas20: Greetings From Your Hometown Tour with three concerts at New York’s Madison Square Garden, on Aug. 20, 21 and 22. They’re also bringing their Hey Jonas! podcast to Hulu and Disney+ starting Friday.
The NFL’s global expansion will continue this season with games in London, Madrid, Mexico City, Munich, Paris and Rio De Janeiro.
