WM 2026: Historical half-time show with Coldplay at the Metlife stage!

The final of the 2026 World Cup will be a very special spectacle! FIFA President Gianni Infantino announced that the world's largest sporting event will come up with a half-time show in the Metlife Stadium in New Jersey. This is a novelty in the history of World Cup final and takes place on July 19, 2026. Together with Global Citizen and the world -famous band Coldplay, a spectacular show is being worked on to make the final a cultural highlight.

As with the Super Bowl, this halftime show could become one of the most important elements of the event, since the supporting program is often more in focus there than the actual game. In an Instagram post, Infantino emphasized that this would be a "historical moment for the World Cup" that underlines the importance of the tournament. The World Cup 2026 is also held with 48 teams in the USA, Canada and Mexico.

a unique experience

The Halftime Show, an absolute highlight in NFL games, could extend the break from 15 to 25 minutes or more. In order to make the event even more spectacular, Coldplay will not only help the show creatively, but will also plan a "takeover" of Times Square in New York on the final weekend. Historically grown moments with appearances such as Prince or Lady Gaga at the Super Bowl provide the perfect framework for this colossal football event, which is supposed to inspire fans worldwide.

The FIFA intends to combine the anticipation for the tournament with artistic excellence and thus emphasize the importance of football in global culture. This unique mixing machine of sports and pop culture could have the 2026 football final forgotten and set new standards. The world is looking forward to July 19th!
