Idman.biz reports that FIFA President Gianni Infantino has confirmed that the 2026 World Cup Final will include a musical performance during halftime:
"I can confirm the first ever half-time show at a FIFA World Cup final in New York New Jersey," Infantino said on Instagram. "This will be a historic moment for the FIFA World Cup and a show befitting the biggest sporting event in the world."
Infantino also revealed that FIFA is in talks to host events in Times Square during the tournament’s final week. He specifically thanked Coldplay’s Chris Martin and Phil Harvey for assisting FIFA in finalizing the lineup of performers for both the halftime show and Times Square celebrations.
