Wu-Tang Clan will bring their legendary hip-hop catalog to Detroit this Thanksgiving, performing during the Detroit Lions’ annual holiday game at Ford Field on November 26, 2026.
The NFL announced that the influential rap group will headline the halftime entertainment when the Lions face the Chicago Bears. The game is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. ET and will air nationally on CBS.
Eminem and his longtime manager, Paul Rosenberg, are serving as executive producers of the halftime show. Their involvement is part of a multiyear partnership with the Lions to bring major musical performances to the team’s Thanksgiving tradition.
The appearance comes during a significant year for Wu-Tang Clan, which is concluding its farewell tour and preparing for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on November 14.
Actor and singer Antonio Cipriano is also scheduled to perform the national anthem before kickoff.
Last year’s Thanksgiving halftime show featured Detroit musician Jack White, who welcomed Eminem for a surprise appearance.
The upcoming performance will bring together one of hip-hop’s most influential groups and one of professional football’s longest-running holiday traditions.
