FIFA President Gianni Infantino has announced a groundbreaking development for the 2026 World Cup Final at MetLife Stadium revealing that it will have the first-ever halftime show in the tournament’s history. Chris Martin from Coldplay will be involved in curating the list of artists for the performance, which is set to take place on July 19, 2026.
Unlike previous World Cup finals, such as the 2022 Qatar final between Argentina and France, which featured pre-match performances by artists like Gims and Ozuna, this upcoming final will introduce a comprehensive halftime entertainment spectacle.
