It’s official: Justin Bieber is set to perform at the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final at New York New Jersey Stadium on July 19.
“The FIFA World Cup brings the world together like no other can,” Bieber said in a statement to FIFA. “I’m grateful to be a part of this halftime show, and even more grateful to know that it’s already helping to expand access to education for children around the world.”
Prior to his performance in the World Cup final, Bieber was on hand at the Los Angeles Stadium for the United States’ opening ceremony ahead of their group stage match against Paraguay.

This is the first time in the tournament’s history that the title match will host a halftime performance, which already includes artists like BTS, Madonna and Shakira. Additionally, Burna Boy, Gustavo Dudamel and the PS22 Chorus with Coldplay are scheduled to perform.
Bieber just hit a memorable career milestone when he headlined Coachella and claimed the informal title “Bieberchella” from fans. Before Coachella, Bieber also performed at the 2026 Grammy Awards.
The quarterfinal stage is set and will begin on Thursday, starting with France against Morocco at Miami Stadium at Boston Stadium at 4 p.m. ET.
