Justin Bieber has been confirmed as a co-headliner for the first-ever halftime show at a FIFA World Cup final.

FIFA announced that the Canadian pop star will join Madonna, Shakira and South Korean group BTS for the 11-minute performance during the 2026 FIFA World Cup final on July 19 at New York New Jersey Stadium.

The halftime show, produced in partnership with Global Citizen and curated by Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, will mark the first musical performance of its kind at a FIFA World Cup final.
