Manuel Turizo will headline halftime at the NFL's Bernabéu game and calls it the start of his biggest tour

Colombian singer Manuel Turizo, of “La Bachata,” will headline the halftime show at the NFL's Madrid Game: Cincinnati Bengals vs. Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, November 8, at the Santiago Bernabéu. Kickoff is at 3:30 p.m. in Madrid (9:30 a.m. ET). In an online group interview on Monday that included the EFE news agency, Turizo said the performance is the opening act of something bigger.

He said the show will look “a lot” like what he is preparing for his 2027 tour and will feature a guest, whom he did not name. The tour's name, dates and cities have not been announced. The 26-year-old singer from Montería is rehearsing in Miami and arrives in Madrid next month. His fifth album, Apambichao, came out in April with Maluma and Ovy on the Drums.

The NFL's global halftime push

This is the league's second regular-season game in Madrid. At the first, on November 16, 2025, between the Washington Commanders and the Miami Dolphins, Bizarrap and Daddy Yankee played halftime. This year the NFL is staging a record seven halftime shows at its international games: the Jonas Brothers (Melbourne), Pedro Sampaio and Ricky Martin (Rio de Janeiro), Ayra Starr (London), Burna Boy (Paris), Turizo (Madrid), Cage the Elephant (Munich) and The Warning (Mexico City, November 22).

In Spain, the game airs live on DAZN, Cuatro and Mediaset Infinity, according to the NFL. The league has not yet named the anthem singers.
