2026 World Cup Final Halftime Show

Justin Bieber, Madonna, Shakira, and BTS will co-headline the first World Cup Final Halftime Show. This guide separates FIFA's confirmed facts from the song choices and running order that have not been announced.

Quick answer

The show is scheduled for Sunday, July 19, 2026, at New York New Jersey Stadium. FIFA says the broadcast will run for 11 minutes. The July 8 update confirms seven named headline or supporting performer credits, but it does not publish the full song order.

  • Co-headliners: Justin Bieber, Madonna, Shakira, and BTS.
  • Also performing: Burna Boy, Gustavo Dudamel, and PS22 Chorus featuring Coldplay.
  • Format: the first FIFA World Cup Final Halftime Show, presented as an 11-minute broadcast.
  • Venue: New York New Jersey Stadium.

The confirmed music connection

Dai Dai is the clearest documented bridge between the tournament soundtrack and this lineup. FIFA identifies the Shakira and Burna Boy release as the Official FIFA World Cup 2026 Song. That status is confirmed independently of what the final broadcast ultimately includes.

BTS also has an earlier World Cup route in the atlas through Jung Kook's 2022 ceremony track Dreamers. That history helps explain the search connection, but it is not evidence that Dreamers will appear in the 2026 set.

What is not confirmed yet

FIFA's updated release names the performers and the 11-minute format, but a full song-by-song set list has not been published. It also does not provide an exact minute-by-minute running order. The show happens at halftime, so the real start moment depends on match progress.

This page will not turn social predictions into facts. If FIFA or Global Citizen publishes a running order, broadcast guide, or post-show set list, the update will be dated and linked to the source.

2026 Final Halftime Show FAQ

Who is performing at the 2026 World Cup Final Halftime Show?

FIFA names Justin Bieber, Madonna, Shakira, and BTS as co-headliners. Burna Boy, Gustavo Dudamel, and PS22 Chorus featuring Coldplay are also confirmed to perform.

When and where is the Final Halftime Show?

It is scheduled for Sunday, July 19, 2026, during the World Cup final at New York New Jersey Stadium. The exact on-air moment depends on when the match reaches halftime.

How long is the World Cup Final Halftime Show?

FIFA describes it as an 11-minute broadcast. That is the confirmed show length, not a prediction based on a normal football halftime interval.

Will Shakira and Burna Boy perform Dai Dai?

Dai Dai is the Official FIFA World Cup 2026 Song and connects Shakira and Burna Boy directly to the tournament. FIFA's July 8 lineup announcement does not publish a complete song-by-song running order, so this guide does not present an unannounced set list as confirmed.

Has the complete World Cup halftime set list been announced?

No complete song order appears in FIFA's July 8 lineup release. Performer announcements, fan predictions, and a confirmed set list are different things; this page will update when an official running order is published.
