Multiple reports say Justin Bieber is in discussions with FIFA officials to headline the halftime show at the 2026 FIFA World Cup final, scheduled for July 19 in New Jersey. The reports describe the show as a landmark event, framed as the first World Cup final halftime performance of its kind. Bieber’s potential appearance would follow his earlier involvement with the tournament, including an appearance at the opening ceremony where he reportedly performed backstage on short notice. Other outlets also link Bieber to a wider lineup that includes artists Madonna and Shakira, with some reporting that BTS could be part of the same bill. The sources characterize the singer as being “in talks,” with no final confirmation from FIFA or Bieber indicated in the reports. If the deal is completed, the proposed appearance would be Bieber’s first major performance tied to a sporting event at this level, according to the reporting. Until official details are released, the extent of the lineup and Bieber’s role remain unconfirmed.
