 "Partition" and "Yoncé" were part of the setlist of Beyoncé and Jay-Z's co-headlining On the Run Tour (2014) where both of the songs were performed separately. The performance of "Partition" opened with a new half-minute explicit rap verse sang by Jay-Z seated as crimson light illuminated him. After he finished his part, Beyoncé appeared on stage in front of a digital screen dancing along with her female dancers on stripper poles. Consequence of Sound's Alex Young chose the song as one of the particular highlights of the show. A pre-recorded performance from that tour was broadcast at the 2014 BET Awards on June 29, 2014. Lily Harrison of E! Online felt that the pair "certainly brought the house down with their sexy performance" while praising Beyoncé's look and accurately performed choreography. Maurice Bobb on behalf of MTV News felt that the BET Awards "saved the best for last" and described the performance as "exciting" despite being pre-recorded. Adam Fleischer of the same publication felt that the rapper was "sprinkling his classic Jay flair all over" in his verse during the performance. Spin editor Colin Joyce found the duo's delivery of the song to be "stunning". In 2016, "Partition" and "Yoncé" were part of the setlist during The Formation World Tour.
