It’s official: Justin Bieber will perform at the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final at the New York New Jersey Stadium on July 19.
“The FIFA World Cup brings the world together in a way that nothing else can,” Bieber said in a statement to FIFA. “I am grateful to be a part of this Halftime Show, and even more grateful to know that it is already helping to expand access to education for children around the world.”
Prior to his World Cup final appearance, Bieber was in attendance at the Los Angeles Stadium for the USA’s opening ceremony before their group stage match against Paraguay.

The show marks the first time in tournament history that the title game will host an intermission, which already includes artists such as BTS, Madonna and Shakira. In addition, Burna Boy, Gustavo Dudamel and PS22 Chorus with Coldplay are set to perform.
Bieber is coming off a memorable career milestone when he headlined Coachella and claimed the informal title of “Bieberchella” from fans. Before Coachella, Bieber also performed at the 2026 Grammys.
The quarter-finals are set to begin on Thursday, starting with France vs. Morocco at Miami Stadium at Boston Stadium at 16 A.M.
