First-Ever World Cup Final Halftime Show Sets Stage for Global Spectacle
FIFA will stage the World Cup final’s first official halftime show featuring Madonna, Shakira, Justin Bieber, BTS and more to support education initiatives; the planned length is uncertain (reports cite 20–30 minutes) and could clash with IFAB rules; the stage will be on the MetLife Stadium pitch, with U.S. viewers able to watch on Fox (English) and Telemundo/Peacock (Spanish) and various streaming services; kickoff is 3 p.m. ET, so plan to be tuned in by around 3:45 p.m. local time, and note some markets (e.g., the UK) may or may not carry the broadcast.
