The FIFA 2026 male world cup final will offer a super bowl half-time show, FIFA president Gianni Infantino announced on Wednesday.
“I can confirm the very first show at halftime in a FIFA World Cup final in New York New Jersey”, ” Infantino revealed During an agreement for the trading partners and media of the 2026 World Cup in Dallas. “It will be a historic moment for the FIFA World Cup and a show adapting the biggest sporting event in the world.

“We also explained how FIFA will be taking Times Square for the last weekend of the FIFA World Cup in 2026, during the final bronze match and the final.”
The New Jersey Metlife Stadium will host the final on July 19, 2026, and a “list of artists” will occur on the field during the break. The manager of Coldplay, Phil Harvey, and the main singer Chris Martin will produce the show at halftime. Coldplay will not occur, but the duo will establish the list of artists who will participate.
The normal half-time ruptures in football are 15 minutes, according to the Game laws. Unless you relax the rules before the 2026 World Cup, performance should be shorter for the configuration and breakdown process to be completed in time.
If FIFA removes a page from the NFL book by presenting a show at halftime, it would not be surprising to see the prolonged break, a bit like what is happening during the Super Bowl where 30 minutes are cut for a performance, 17 more minutes that the standard break at halftime.
