When you hear the roar of a stadium packed with fans, the thrill of a groundbreaking sports event, and the pulse of reggaeton beats, something truly special is happening. This September, Colombian superstar Karol G is set to ignite the stage during the halftime show of YouTube’s very first exclusive NFL game broadcast.

A Historic Game in an Unforgettable Location

On September 5, the Kansas City Chiefs will face off against the Los Angeles Chargers at São Paulo’s Corinthians Arena, making this the NFL’s inaugural game on South American soil. This isn’t just any game—it's the first NFL match ever to be streamed exclusively on YouTube, a platform that’s changing the way we experience sports worldwide.

The atmosphere promises to be electric. As the teams prepare to clash, the halftime show will feature none other than Karol G, who’s become a global reggaeton sensation. Adding to this cultural mix, Kamasi Washington will lend his soulful voice to perform the US national anthem, while Brazilian artist Ana Castela will honor the host nation with the Brazilian anthem.

Karol G’s Moment on the Global Stage

Karol G shared her excitement about this milestone: “I’m so excited to be part of YouTube’s first-ever NFL live broadcast, it’s truly an honor and a moment I’m so proud to be part of.”

This is no small feat for an artist who has continuously broken barriers. “I’ve watched many NFL halftime shows over the years and now having this opportunity to bring my music to this global stage means the world to me,” she added. “I can’t wait to celebrate with everyone in São Paulo and fans all around the world.”

The Broadcast and What It Means for Fans

The NFL game will be streamed live and for free on YouTube, with kickoff scheduled for 8 pm ET (1 am BST). This accessible broadcast is a bold move, blending sports, music, and digital technology to create a more inclusive viewing experience worldwide.

Angela Courtin, YouTube’s vice president of connected TV and creative studio marketing, summed it up: “This broadcast is a landmark moment in our partnership with the NFL, where the worlds of football, music and creators will powerfully collide.”

Karol G’s Rising Star: More Than Just Music

Beyond the halftime spotlight, Karol G’s journey continues to inspire. Back in December, she announced an upcoming documentary in partnership with Netflix, directed by Emmy winner Cristina Costantini. The film promises an intimate look at her life and career. Karol described it as:

“A story born from dreams that seemed impossible, fueled by unwavering faith. A relentless journey that defied all odds. My life, my work, my truth and the powerful connection I share with you all. My dream came true.”

Karol’s impact on the music industry is undeniable. In 2023, her album Mañana Será Bonito made history as the first all-Spanish album by a female artist to reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. That same year, she broke new ground as the first Latin female artist to headline the Lollapalooza Festival in Chicago.

Why This Moment Matters

This event isn’t just about a halftime show or a game; it’s a cultural milestone that unites millions through the universal languages of music and sport. Karol G’s presence at the halftime show symbolizes the growing influence of Latin music and culture in global arenas traditionally dominated by other genres.

For fans who have followed her journey—from the early days of reggaeton to achieving international acclaim—this moment is a celebration of perseverance, talent, and breaking barriers.
