  • FIFA president Gianni Infantino has confirmed that the 2026 men's World Cup final, hosted in the US, will include a halftime show for the very first time.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup final, set to take place in the United States, will feature a halftime show for the first time in the tournament's history. This decision aligns with the Super Bowl's tradition of having a major musical performance during halftime, aiming to enhance the entertainment value of the event. The tournament itself will be expanded to include 48 teams, up from the previous 32, and will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The final match is scheduled for July 19, 2026, at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. This new addition is part of FIFA's strategy to make the World Cup final a more significant cultural event, potentially attracting a broader audience and increasing its global appeal.
