The NFL is set to write a new chapter in its history in Australia, and it plans to mark the occasion with a top-notch musical performance.
The Jonas Brothers have been chosen to perform at halftime during the game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams.
This historic game will take place on Friday, September 11, 2026, at the legendary Melbourne Cricket Ground, which will host an NFL regular-season game on Australian soil for the first time.
For viewers in France, kickoff is scheduled for 2:35 a.m. on the night of September 10–11. Both the game and the Jonas Brothers' performance will be available live via NFL Game Pass on DAZN.
Nick, Joe, and Kevin Jonas say they are particularly excited about participating in this unprecedented event. The trio views this invitation as an exceptional opportunity to perform for an Australian audience while contributing to a historic moment for the NFL.
The Jonas Brothers: A Strategic Choice for the NFL in Melbourne
With over 20 million albums sold, multiple Grammy Award nominations, and numerous Billboard hits, the Jonas Brothers have achieved international fame that extends far beyond the world of music.
The group, which has amassed billions of streams on streaming platforms, has also held several number-one spots on the Billboard 200. This popularity aligns perfectly with the NFL's ambitions for its first regular-season game in Australia.
The organization aims to turn this debut into a true cultural event. In conjunction with the game, a festival will be held at Melbourne Park from September 10 to 12. Several Australian artists will participate in the various festivities, while exclusive merchandise tied to the Jonas Brothers' visit will be available to fans.
This matchup between two NFC West teams will also mark the first of seven musical performances scheduled for the 2026 NFL International Games.
The 2026 season will be particularly ambitious for the NFL, with nine games scheduled outside the United States, including in London, Madrid, Paris, Mexico City, Munich, Rio de Janeiro, and Melbourne.
For fans of American football and music, the Australian event promises to be spectacular. With a highly anticipated matchup, the prestigious Melbourne Cricket Ground, and the Jonas Brothers performing at halftime, the NFL intends to make a big splash right from the start of its Australian tour.
