Show de medio tiempo. ¿Quiénes y a qué hora cantarán en la final del Mundial 2026?
One of the most anticipated moments will be the first-ever halftime show in a World Cup final.
FIFA decided to innovate with a show inspired by the Super Bowl format, so the halftime break will be longer than usual to make way for an unprecedented musical production featuring several world-class artists.
Halftime is scheduled for approximately 1:50 PM, Central Mexico time, although the time could vary slightly depending on stoppage time during the first half. It will be at that moment when thousands of fans in the stadium and millions in front of their televisions enjoy the show prepared especially for the final.
The artists in charge of setting the mood for the 2026 World Cup final will be Shakira, Justin Bieber, Madonna, and BTS, who will star in the musical spectacle that will make history in World Cups. The combination of international artists has generated huge expectations, as it will mark the first time in history that a World Cup final has a halftime show of such magnitude.

Argentina reaches this final after eliminating England in the semifinals and will seek to win its fourth World Cup, consolidating itself among the most awarded teams along with Lionel Messi, despite the controversies and criticism for having been favored by FIFA and Gianni Infantino throughout the competition.
For its part, the Red Fury (Furia Roja) eliminated France and has the opportunity to win the second world title in its history, after the one obtained 16 years ago in South Africa 2010.
The expectation is enormous because this final brings together two very different styles of play: the experience and leadership of Lionel Messi, who seeks to close his international career with another championship, against the emerging talent led by Lamine Yamal, one of the great revelations of world soccer who has made the Barcelona club shine in recent years.
