For the first time ever, the FIFA World Cup Final could feature a true halftime show—and one of the biggest names in pop music may be taking center stage.

Reports say Justin Bieber is in talks to perform during the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final, joining a rumored all-star lineup that includes Madonna, Shakira, and BTS. If it happens, it would mark the tournament's first official halftime performance and help launch the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, with a goal of raising $100 million to support education around the world.

Bieber is coming off a huge year after delivering the most-watched headlining performance in Coachella history, making him one of the hottest names in live entertainment. While nothing is official just yet, reports say negotiations are underway for what could become one of the biggest TV performances of the decade.

Justin has been keeping busy outside of music, too. Hockey fans recently spotted him making a surprise appearance at the NHL Draft, where he helped his hometown Toronto Maple Leafs make their first overall selection.

With the World Cup coming to North America in 2026, a halftime show featuring global superstars would make an already historic event even bigger.

From hanging in the Hudson Valley to the World Cup!  Love this.
