Justin Bieber is reportedly in discussions to perform at the 2026 FIFA World Cup final match, sources told TMZ. The potential performance would mark the event's first-ever World Cup Halftime Show.

Bieber, 32, is being considered for the halftime performance alongside artists Madonna, Shakira, and the K-pop group BTS, who were previously confirmed. If he accepts the offer, Bieber would travel to MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, for the July 19 final.

The halftime show is also slated to benefit the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, which aims to improve access to quality education and football for children worldwide. The fund has set a goal of raising $100 million by the event's conclusion.

This potential World Cup appearance comes on the heels of Bieber's record-breaking performance at the 2026 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April. His headlining set became the most-watched in the festival's history, reportedly garnering 147 million global views. Bieber released his seventh studio album, "Swag," on July 11, 2025, followed by a deluxe version, "Swag II," on September 5. He was reportedly paid more than $10 million for his Coachella performances.
