Bieber Joins Madonna, BTS and Shakira for Historic World Cup Final Show
Justin Bieber is confirmed to perform at the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final halftime show at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on July 19. The performance marks the first time in the tournament's history that the title match will feature a dedicated halftime show. "The FIFA World Cup brings the world together in a way nothing else can," Bieber said in a statement to FIFA. "I'm grateful to be part of this Halftime Show, and even more grateful knowing it's already helping expand access to education for children around the world."
Bieber joins a wide-ranging lineup that also includes Madonna, BTS, Shakira, Burna Boy, conductor Gustavo Dudamel, and the PS22 Chorus featuring Coldplay. The combination of pop, Afrobeats, classical, and global chart talent reflects FIFA's stated intent to make the final's entertainment program reflect the tournament's international scope. The 2026 World Cup is co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico - the first edition to be staged across three countries and the first to feature an expanded 48-team field. floorball betting sites
Bieber's booking follows a period of renewed public visibility. According to the draft, he performed at the 2026 Grammy Awards and headlined Coachella, where he drew significant fan attention. He was also reported to be present at the tournament's opening ceremony in Los Angeles ahead of the United States' group stage match against Paraguay.
With the tournament now at the quarterfinal stage, the final on July 19 remains several weeks away. The halftime show announcement is likely to draw additional commercial and broadcast attention to what is already one of the most-watched single sporting events globally. Further lineup or production details have not been confirmed in available statements.
