2026 World Cup Final Halftime Show: How long is it? Who is performing?

The countdown is on ahead of this summer's FIFA World Cup. 

The tournament will be held across the United States, Canada and Mexico, with 48 teams battling it out for a place at the final. 

Scheduled to take place on July 19, at New York's Metlife Stadium, it has been confirmed that there will be a halftime show during football's biggest game. 

DAZN News has everything you need to know ahead of the performance.

FIFA World Cup Final: How long is the halftime show? 

It is not yet confirmed how long the show will last, but it means halftime will be longer than the traditional 15 minutes. 

The halftime show will be something akin to the Super Bowl's which lasts 12 minutes exactly. 

Therefore, do not be surprised the World Cup final halftime show is of similar length as football attempts to be on the same level as the NFL when it comes to enterainment.

There is no news when it comes to performers, but the show will be curated by Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. 

FIFA president Gianni Infantino also revealed that several artists will feature in what he called the "the largest show in the world". 

This will not be the first time FIFA has staged a halftime performance. Something similar took place at last year's Club World Cup final with J Balvin, Doja Cat, Tems and Emmanuel Kelly all performing.
