FIFA President Gianni Infantino recently announced on Instagram that the 2026 final, set for July 19, 2026, at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey (which will be temporarily renamed New York New Jersey Stadium for the tournament), will include an entertainment segment during the break. This is something more commonly associated with the Super Bowl.
“I can confirm the first ever half-time show at a FIFA World Cup final in New York New Jersey, in association with Global Citizen. This will be a historic moment for the FIFA World Cup and a show befitting the biggest sporting event in the world.”
