MetLife Field to Host 2026 World Cup Final Halftime Show, Possible Extended Interval
TL;DR Summary
FIFA plans to stage the 2026 World Cup final halftime show on the MetLife Stadium field, potentially pushing the interval well beyond the usual 15 minutes; last year’s Club World Cup used a stand-alone stage to protect the turf. The lineup is expected to be announced May 14, with Coldplay’s Chris Martin curating in partnership with Global Citizen and possible Shakira involvement. A field-based halftime mirrors Super Bowl production and could affect players, coaches, and broadcasters.
