Watching this Netflix show in the UK could result in a hefty £1,000 penalty.

Netflix has just made Christmas even more exciting with their recent announcement. The iconic Beyonce will be gracing our screens with her half-time performance during the NFL game on Christmas Day. However, there is a catch that has fans worried.

In order to watch the live-stream of the Houston Texans vs. Baltimore Ravens game at NRG Stadium, viewers will need access to Netflix. This is a first for Beyonce's Grammy-nominated album, Cowboy Carter, to be performed live for millions of fans around the world. Unfortunately, there is some bad news for British fans.

While many have ditched their TV licences in favor of streaming services, it turns out that for live programmes, a TV licence is still necessary. This applies to all live shows, regardless of the platform or device being used. So, even if you don't normally need a licence for binge-watching your favorite shows, you will need one to watch Beyonce's live performance.

This may come as a shock to those who tuned in to watch the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight on Netflix, as they could now be facing a hefty fine. According to the streaming service, over 60 million households worldwide tuned in to watch the event, causing some technical difficulties due to the overwhelming demand. While it is unclear how many of these households were in the UK, anyone who didn't have a TV licence at the time could potentially face legal consequences.

If caught without a TV licence, viewers could face a fine of £1,000 and even a criminal record. This may seem extreme for a less than 20-minute performance by Beyonce, especially considering that a TV licence costs £169.50 per year. However, there are some alternative options for those who don't want to pay the full price.

One way to avoid any legal issues is to watch the show on-demand after it has aired. The game will still be available on Netflix, so viewers can watch it at their convenience. Another option is to wait for full clips of Beyonce's performance to appear online and watch those instead. This way, viewers can avoid paying for a TV licence just to watch the half-time show.

Beyonce's last half-time show was in 2016, where she joined Bruno Mars and Coldplay for the Super Bowl performance. This year, her half-time show and the accompanying NFL game will air on Netflix at 9:30pm GMT on Christmas Day. So, mark your calendars and make sure you have access to Netflix in order to catch Beyonce's highly anticipated performance.
