Justin Bieber could soon be taking the stage at one of the world’s biggest sporting events.
According to a new report from TMZ, the Grammy-winning superstar is currently in discussions to perform during the halftime show at the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final, potentially joining an already blockbuster lineup featuring Madonna, Shakira and BTS.
If the deal comes together, it would mark another major live performance for Bieber and place him at the center of one of the most-watched television broadcasts on the planet.
At this stage, however, the performance has not been officially confirmed.
According to the report, FIFA officials are actively discussing the possibility of adding Bieber to the halftime lineup for the championship match, which will be held on Sunday, July 19, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
The 2026 tournament has already made history before the final whistle.
Hosted jointly by the United States, Canada and Mexico, this year’s FIFA World Cup has featured an expanded tournament format and an ambitious entertainment strategy designed to bring music and football together on an even larger scale than previous editions.
The final will also feature the first official halftime show in FIFA World Cup history, making the event a landmark moment for both sports and entertainment.
Madonna, Shakira and BTS have already been announced as co-headlining performers.
If Bieber officially joins the lineup, the halftime show would unite four of the biggest names in global pop music for what promises to be an unforgettable performance.
Fans have already begun imagining what such a collaboration could look like, especially given each artist’s catalog of internationally recognized hits.
For Bieber, the reported opportunity comes during another busy chapter of his career.
The singer has continued making high-profile public appearances while keeping fans guessing about what’s next musically.
Last month, he surprised viewers during the 2026 NHL Draft by appearing to announce this year’s top overall selection, generating headlines across both sports and entertainment media.
Although Bieber has kept a relatively low profile when it comes to large-scale performances recently, a World Cup appearance would instantly become one of the biggest moments of his live career.
The FIFA World Cup routinely attracts billions of viewers worldwide, making it one of the largest entertainment platforms available to any artist.
