FIFA announced that Justin Bieber will take the stage during the first ever halftime show at the FIFA World Cup Final, adding another major name to an already high profile lineup. The performance is set for July 19, 2026, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, where the tournament will come to a close.
The announcement confirmed that Bieber will perform alongside BTS, Madonna, and Shakira. The show is being curated by Chris Martin of Coldplay and will also feature Burna Boy, conductor Gustavo Dudamel, and the PS22 Chorus as part of the event.
The halftime show is designed to combine music with a broader charitable effort. It supports the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, an initiative focused on expanding access to education and football opportunities for children around the world.
Bieber said he is honored to be part of the event and looks forward to performing on one of the world’s biggest stages. With artists from different musical backgrounds sharing the lineup, the halftime show marks a new chapter for the FIFA World Cup Final and brings a large scale live music performance to the championship match for the first time.
