Green Bay Packers Meet Los Angeles Rams on Thanksgiving Eve

The performance brings together one of the world’s biggest bands and a matchup between the Green Bay Packers and the Los Angeles Rams. Scheduled for the eve of Thanksgiving, the fixture places music culture directly onto the stadium turf in Inglewood, California. Kickoff at SoFi Stadium is set for 8 p.m. New York time, translating to a 2 a.m. start for viewers in France on November 26, though precise timing for the halftime set remains fluid depending on the flow of the football game.

New Studio Album and World Tour Precede the Inglewood Stage

The NFL appearance coincides with a busy autumn and winter schedule for the band, following their 50th anniversary celebrations. On November 13, 2026, U2 is scheduled to release their 16th studio album, titled Carnaval de Luz. The record features the pre-released singles “Street of Dreams,” “Silencio,” and “The Greatest Show on Earth.” Building on that release, the band announced details for their upcoming global outing, dubbed “The Greatest Show on Earth” tour, which opens in Mexico on February 23, 2027, before moving through Brazil, Argentina, Europe, and North America.
