NFL Thanksgiving Halftime Shows 2025: Full Performer Lineup for Lions, Cowboys & Ravens Games

The NFL’s 2025 Thanksgiving schedule once again features a trio of marquee matchups, including two divisional showdowns and a clash between historic franchises. And while the games themselves will draw massive attention, the halftime entertainment is set to be a major attraction as well.

Each of the holiday contests — Packers vs. Lions, Chiefs vs. Cowboys, and Bengals vs. Ravens — will have a special musical performance during the intermission.

Here’s a breakdown of who will take the stage in Detroit, Dallas, and Baltimore on Thanksgiving Day.

Kickoff for Lions–Packers is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET.

After the group split, White launched a successful solo career with six studio albums and also helped form the bands The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather.

Dallas Cowboys Thanksgiving Halftime Performer

“Let’s make it a party, Cowboys Nation,” Malone said in anticipation of the show.

The performance continues a tradition dating back to 1997, with the Cowboys’ Thanksgiving halftime show serving as a major kickoff event for The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign.
Cowboys–Chiefs will begin at 4:30 p.m. ET.

Malone is an 18-time Grammy nominee and winner of 11 Billboard Music Awards. He burst into the spotlight with the single “White Iverson” and went on to release hit albums like Stoney, Beerbongs & Bentleys, and Hollywood’s Bleeding. In recent years he has embraced country music, earning a massive hit with Morgan Wallen on “I Had Some Help.”

A longtime Cowboys fan, Malone moved to Texas at a young age, where his father worked for the team as a concessions manager.
