The NFL’s first regular-season game in Australia featured the Jonas Brothers as the halftime performers, adding a major entertainment element to the historic fixture at Melbourne Cricket Ground.

The Los Angeles Rams faced the San Francisco 49ers in Melbourne, while the Jonas Brothers took the stage during the break.

The group welcomed the opportunity to perform at the NFL’s first regular-season game in Australia.

"We couldn't be more excited to perform at halftime during the NFL's first-ever regular season game in Australia," the Jonas Brothers said in a press release. "Playing at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground in front of such passionate Australian fans is an incredible honor. We can't wait to be part of this historic moment and celebrate with everyone in the stadium and watching around the world."

The performance prompted mixed reactions from NFL fans watching the game.

Some questioned why the Jonas Brothers were performing during an NFL broadcast, while others criticised the group's performance.

"I went to turn on football on Netflix and it's the Jonas brothers. I am confused," one fan said.

"Why is there a halftime show and why are the Jonas Brothers playing," another fan asked.

However, not everyone was critical. One supporter wrote, "The Jonas Brothers kinda rock man idc what anyone says."

NFL reporter Jane Slater also praised the group, declaring, "Jonas Brothers still sound perfect and they have aged the same."

Meanwhile, the NFL has not announced its Super Bowl LXI halftime performer.

Miley Cyrus has been linked with the show, although no official confirmation has been provided. Super Bowl LXI is scheduled for February 14, 2027.
