The NFL's Thanksgiving slate is beginning to take shape.
While the on-field matchups are already set, there have been a few additional guests confirmed for the holiday. Thanksgiving has always been one of the league's premier days on the schedule and this season's trio of matchups lean into history.
The action kicks off with the annual Detroit Lions game at Ford Field, when they host the rival Green Bay Packers. It continues in Dallas where the Cowboys battle the Washington Commanders. Then it'll wrap up in Baltimore when the Ravens take on the Cincinnati Bengals in an old-school AFC North clash.
For plenty of viewers, those games are secondary to the stars that take the field at halftime. It won't rise to the level of a Super Bowl show, but this is about as close as it gets for a regular season game.
Here's a look at the NFL Thanksgiving halftime show performers.
NFL Thanksgiving halftime shows 2025
Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions
Jack White will headline the halftime show in Detroit on Thanksgiving. The Detroit-born artist was recently inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction with the White Stripes.
Eminem and his longtime manager, Paul Rosenberg, are set to be executive producers of the halftime show.
Washington Commanders at Dallas Cowboys
Post Malone will be the Cowboys' Thanksgiving halftime show performer.
The music star gets the best of both worlds on the holiday – performing in front of a big audience and also getting the chance to cheer on his favorite football team, the Cowboys. It's also the event that launches The Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign.
"I'm from Texas," Post Malone said in a statement, via the Cowboys' official site. "I grew up a Cowboys fan and have been watching this halftime show for years. It's a real honor to be part of the Red Kettle Kickoff with The Salvation Army and the Dallas Cowboys and help bring hope to so many people."
Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens
Lil Jon is set to perform the final halftime show for the NFL's Thanksgiving slate in 2025 – taking the stage in Baltimore during the Ravens-Bengals intermission.
The rapper and producer is just the latest individual to add a little more juice to the holiday nightcap as both star quarterbacks could be back in action. Lamar Jackson already made his return for the Ravens, but Joe Burrow is back at practice and is hoping to be back in the lineup on Thanksgiving.
