Justin Bieber Joins 2026 World Cup Final Halftime Show

Justin Bieber has joined the halftime show of the 2026 World Cup final, in a spectacle that will also feature Shakira, Madonna and BTS. FIFA presented the project as a blend of music, football and charitable fundraising for children’s education.

The final will be played on Sunday, July 19 at New Jersey Stadium. The inclusion of the Canadian singer expands an initiative that FIFA wants to turn into one of the greatest sports entertainment events in history.

The announcement also marks an important change in the final format. The organization aims to turn the halftime break into a global platform with cultural and social impact, not just musical. This approach brings the World Cup closer to the logic of major television spectacles.

What Did FIFA Announce?

FIFA President Gianni Infantino confirmed Bieber’s participation and the rest of the lineup. He said the goal is to expand access to quality education and football opportunities for children around the world.
