Football is about to be smacked head-on with music in a way it never has before. The FIFA World Cup 2026 Final will see the first-ever Super Bowl-style halftime show, and FIFA has now revealed the full glittering cast of stars for the unprecedented 11-minute performance. Scheduled to take place at MetLife Stadium on July 19, the event brings the global superstars BTS, Shakira, and Justin Bieber as co-headliners, partnered with a host of other top acts, promising one of the most extravagant entertainment events in the history of the world’s biggest football contest.

The performance will take place midway through the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final at the New York-New Jersey Stadium, known as MetLife Stadium, in New York/New Jersey.

Bieber was the final major name added to the bill, joining a trio that had already been confirmed weeks earlier. FIFA released a statement on Wednesday, July 8, confirming that Bieber would join the bill as a co-headliner alongside Madonna, Shakira, and BTS. Speaking about the announcement, Bieber said the World Cup brings the world together like nothing else, adding he felt grateful the show was already helping expand children’s access to education worldwide.

The show is being put together by one of music’s biggest behind-the-scenes names. FIFA said the show is being curated by Chris Martin of Coldplay in partnership with Global Citizen and will support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund. The FIFA World Cup 2026 Final halftime show is expected to draw a massive global audience, with FIFA expecting around a couple of billion viewers to tune in.
