Where and When
The Super Bowl-style extravaganza will take place at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium, temporarily renamed New York-New Jersey Stadium, on July 19. With kickoff at 3 p.m. ET, the show is expected to begin between 3:45 and 4 p.m., running for roughly 11 minutes — though production demands could stretch that closer to the 30-45 minute window many fans are anticipating.
A Show With a Purpose
This isn’t just entertainment. The performance supports the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, which has already raised over USD 50 million, partly through USD 1 donated from every World Cup 2026 ticket sold. Shakira, no stranger to World Cup stages, previously sang “Waka Waka” in 2010 and returns this year with “Dai Dai” alongside Burna Boy, the tournament’s official song.
Why It Matters
With football’s biggest match now paired with a Super Bowl-style spectacle, this halftime show marks a new era for the World Cup. For full performer updates and match details, check the official FIFA World Cup 2026 site.
