Overview
- FIFA said the 2026 final at MetLife Stadium will include the tournament’s first halftime show on July 19 with multiple artists.
- Coldplay frontman Chris Martin will curate the performance, with reporting that manager Phil Harvey and Global Citizen are producing.
- The lineup remains under wraps, and FIFA has not released staging or broadcast details.
- Football rarely features music during the 15-minute break, and a 2017 DFB Cup show drew loud boos from fans.
- The expanded World Cup runs June 11 to July 19 across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and FIFA is pitching the final as a global entertainment showcase.
