Justin Bieber to join FIFA World Cup final half-time show

Justin Bieber has joined the lineup for the 2026 FIFA World Cup final half-time show, which will take place on July 19 at the tournament’s championship match in New York.

The Canadian pop star will perform alongside Madonna, Shakira and K-pop group BTS in the first Super Bowl-style half-time show in FIFA World Cup history.

The 11-minute performance will also feature Burna Boy, conductor Gustavo Dudamel, the PS22 Chorus alongside Coldplay, and the ‘Sesame Street’ Muppets.

The show will support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, which aims to raise US$100 million for children’s education worldwide. “The FIFA World Cup brings the world together in a way nothing else can,” Bieber said.
